Making Decisions About Migration: The American Dream With A Mexican Accent, Chris Sutter, Lynn England Sep 2013

Making Decisions About Migration: The American Dream With A Mexican Accent, Chris Sutter, Lynn England

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Mexican immigration to the United States is a noteworthy phenomenon, not void of controversy. Accusations and tensions have risen on both sides of the line in past months. The issue is not an ephemeral one. There are currently more than 20 million Mexicans living in this country, according to the 2000 US census. Numerous studies have been done to understand migration. Studies that focus solely on economics, however, may fail to put a human face on Mexican immigration. Behind the dollars and cents are real people making real decisions about leaving their home and country to try their luck in …

Research Brief: "Iraq And Afghanistan Veterans’ Experiences Living With Their Parents After Separation From The Military", Institute For Veterans And Military Families At Syracuse University Sep 2013

Research Brief: "Iraq And Afghanistan Veterans’ Experiences Living With Their Parents After Separation From The Military", Institute For Veterans And Military Families At Syracuse University

Institute for Veterans and Military Families

This research examines the experiences of veterans who live with their parents after separation from the military and prepares parents and family to be more knowledgeable and meet the needs of returning veterans. It was found that veterans were better suited to life after military duty with proper emotional support from family, and that providing support and educations for families would aid this transition. In future research, an emphasis on studying a more diverse cohort of male and female veterans as well as their parents is beneficial.

Ethnic Differences In Family Stress Processes Among African- Americans And Black Caribbeans, Bridget J. Goosby, Cleopatra Howard Caldwell, Anna Bellatorre, James S. Jackson Sep 2013

Ethnic Differences In Family Stress Processes Among African- Americans And Black Caribbeans, Bridget J. Goosby, Cleopatra Howard Caldwell, Anna Bellatorre, James S. Jackson

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

Several theories of stress exposure, including the stress process and the family stress model for economically disadvantaged families, suggest that family processes work similarly across race/ ethnic groups. Much of this research, however, treats African-Americans as a monolithic group and ignores potential differences in family stress processes within race that may emerge across ethnic groups. This study examines whether family stress processes differ intraracially in African- American and Black Caribbean families. Using data from the National Survey of American Life, a national representative data set of African-American and Black Caribbean families, we assess the extent to which parents’ stress appraisals …

Student Theses and Dissertations

This study examined associations between Asian international students' perceived quality of contact with faculty, administrative personnel and other students, and self-reported gains in areas identified in College Students Experience Questionnaire. The sample included 705 Asian students from 25 research universities across the United States. Of 705 Asian international students, 390 were from East Asia, 219 from South and Central Asia, and 96 from Southeast Asia.

Forsaking All Others: Marital Fidelity In Religious Couples, Nathaniel M. Lambert, Dr. David C. Dollahite Sep 2013

Forsaking All Others: Marital Fidelity In Religious Couples, Nathaniel M. Lambert, Dr. David C. Dollahite

Journal of Undergraduate Research

This study reports results from in-depth interviews with 57 highly religious middle-aged married couples from all the major Abrahamic faiths (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Mormonism) from New England and Northern California. The study uses grounded theory methods to create themes and a model describing the ways that religious couples draw on their beliefs and practices to stay faithful to their marital. Couples reported that religion affects their level of faithfulness in 4 important ways: 1) Religion fortifies marital commitment; 2) Religion strengthens moral values; 3) Religion improves one’s relationship with God; 4) Religion sanctifies marriage.

Motorcycles And Development In Southeast Asia, John Hustedt, Dr. Ralph Brown Sep 2013

Motorcycles And Development In Southeast Asia, John Hustedt, Dr. Ralph Brown

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Over the past twenty years, motorcycles have proliferated across Southeast Asia (Hsu, 2003). Consequently, I wanted to examine some of the social consequences of this heavy adoption of motorcycles specifically in Vietnam. I examined the reasons people have begun to purchase motorcycles at an increasing rate, and some of the ways in which motorcycles affect their daily lives. Additionally, I examined the various elements of Vietnamese families’ transportation strategies; for example, at what point do they purchase an additional motorcycle or switch to a car or opt for more public transportation? I also looked at what effect those choices have …

Brief Research Report: Sociodemographic Factors Associated With Hiv Status Among African American Women In Washington, Dc, Dexter R. Voisin

Introduction: African American women living in Washington, DC have one of the highest Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) incidence rates in the US. However, this population has been understudied, especially as it relates to factors associated with HIV status. Methods: This cross-sectional study examined sociodemographic factors that were associated with having a negative or positive HIV status among a sample of 115 African American women between the ages of 24 and 44 years. We assessed such factors as age, education, sexual orientation, household income, sources of income, number of children, length of residency tenure in Washington, DC, and level of HIV-prevention …

Benefits Of Religious Education Experiences In High School, David Hales, Dr. Mikaela Dufur Sep 2013

Benefits Of Religious Education Experiences In High School, David Hales, Dr. Mikaela Dufur

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The recent debate and interest in the under funding of America’s public school systems has caused an increase in the number of students who have abandoned public schooling in favor of private educational institutions. This rapid increase in enrollment in private educational institutions has changed the classroom dynamics for both students and teachers. This paper is primarily interested in the experiences of students who are enrolled in private religious educational institutions. I will attempt to understand what impact enrollment in private religious educational institutions will have on pupil’s educational experiences, spiritual growth, and deviance. Perhaps insight into these dynamics of …

What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love, And Understanding, Jordan G. Cinderich Sep 2013

What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love, And Understanding, Jordan G. Cinderich

SURGE

Last Saturday I stood on Stine Lake with a group of friends to pray and spread a message of “Peace for Syria.” This event was sponsored by the Newman Association in response to Pope Francis’s request that “Christians, and our brothers and sisters of other religions and every man and woman of good will, cry out forcefully: Violence and war are never the way to peace!” Students of all religions and backgrounds came to support us, and it was a very rewarding day for me as a Catholic and as a human longing for world peace and understanding.

Verbal History Of The 1999 Floods In Teziutlan, Mexico From The Lds Perspective, Amanda Barden, Lynn England Sep 2013

Verbal History Of The 1999 Floods In Teziutlan, Mexico From The Lds Perspective, Amanda Barden, Lynn England

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The time I spent in Teziutlan researching and learning about the 1999 floods there was uplifting but also scientifically frustrating. The goal of this project was to learn about what kind of impact the floods had on the members of the church there, what kind of influence the church may have had on the community during this disaster, and how the help that the church offered may have influenced missionary efforts. I should mention that this is a small departure from my original proposal, as one must adjust his/her research question while this kind of qualitative research develops.

Framing Caste Tracing The Interrelationship Of Caste And Identity In India, Scott Albrecht, Dr. Ralph Brown Sep 2013

Framing Caste Tracing The Interrelationship Of Caste And Identity In India, Scott Albrecht, Dr. Ralph Brown

Journal of Undergraduate Research

I posit here that three variables must be considered when discussing the devolvement of caste as the dominant element of Indian society: economic organization, the secularization of caste identities, and the disproportionate distribution of power as a remnant of the traditional economic arrangement. By tapping into the rationality of caste in terms of the human experience we can better understand the interrelationship of these variables and caste. I further argue that because caste roles and caste identities are essentially unique phenomena, caste identities may be perpetuated indefinitely where caste roles have become antiquated and unenforceable.
