Does Perfecting Your Day Keep The Doctor Away?: Examining The Roles Of Affect And Coping In The Association Between Perfectionism And Physical Health, Carly A. Visk, '09 Jan 2009

Does Perfecting Your Day Keep The Doctor Away?: Examining The Roles Of Affect And Coping In The Association Between Perfectionism And Physical Health, Carly A. Visk, '09

Honors Projects

This study proposed a structural model in which the association between perfectionism and physical health is mediated by positive and negative affect and coping strategies. A sample of 119 Illinois Wesleyan undergraduate students completed questionnaires that assessed perfectionism, affect, coping strategies, physical health, and preventative and risky health behaviors. Results offer partial support for the proposed model and include the following: maladaptive perfectionism is related to the experience of more physical health symptoms, and this relation is mediated by negative affect and maladaptive coping. Adaptive perfectionism is related to the performance of more preventative health behaviors, mediated by positive affect; …

Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(Iii) Triflate Catalyzed Allylation Of Cyclic Acetals, Matthew J. Spafford, '09 Jan 2009

Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(Iii) Triflate Catalyzed Allylation Of Cyclic Acetals, Matthew J. Spafford, '09

Honors Projects

Cyclic acetals (dioxolanes, dioxanes, and dithianes) are common protecting groups in organic synthesis but they can also be converted to other useful functional groups. A bismuth(III) triflate-catalyzed multi component reaction involving the allylation of cyclic acetals followed by in situ derivatization with acid anhydrides to generate highly functionalized esters and thioesters has been developed under solvent-free conditions. Most reagents used to date for the allylation of cyclic acetals are highly corrosive or toxic and are often required in stoichiometric amounts. In contrast, the use of a relatively non-toxic and non-corrosive bismuth(III) based catalyst makes this methodology benign and attractive.

Predicting Major League Talent Through The First-Year Player Draft, Kevin Slattery, '09 Jan 2009

Predicting Major League Talent Through The First-Year Player Draft, Kevin Slattery, '09

Honors Projects

The Major League Baseball first-year player draft is a relatively unexplored topic. Until two years ago it was not even televised, even though other major spoils drafts like basketball and football are major television events. I predict the probability of reaching the major leagues and the probability of a player "making it big" in the major leagues for a player drafted based on a series of variables, like draft position, whether a player is lefthanded, and the schooling the amateur has received. This should help a team determine which players are most risky, and which players are most likely to …

Can Resource Mobilization Predict The Level Of Success Among Social Movement Organizations?, Kathryn Brannan, '09 Jan 2009

Can Resource Mobilization Predict The Level Of Success Among Social Movement Organizations?, Kathryn Brannan, '09

Honors Projects

This paper is a series of case studies of social movement organizations within the AIDS Awareness Movement of the 1980s. By examining ACT UP, the Names Project, and Gay Men's Health Crisis, we see that resource mobilization theory can help explain varying levels of success among SMOs that worked in the same context and within the same subculture. Internal organization, networking, innovation and the use of violence are all strategies which are found to be insignificant in explaining the success of each SMO. This paper shows the predictive ability of resource mobilization theory. It closes with suggestions for future work, …
