My Experiences With Body Image And Eating Disorders In Figure Skating, Emma M. Chinault

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

This is a personal reflection of my experiences with an eating disorder and body image issues that I have dealt with throughout my figure skating career. I reflect on body dysmorphia issues, my obsession with the scale, the realization that I had an eating disorder, and my journey to heal. These experiences, stories, pictures, and journal entries are used to show how relevant these issues are in the figure skating world and give hope and inspiration to other athletes that have gone through similar struggle. I discuss how these issues are prevalent throughout the sport of figure skating and discuss …

Factors Associated With Patient Trust In Primary Care Physicians In The United States, Emily Grace Lind

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

For a patient to efficiently communicate medical history and sensitive medical information, and to properly adhere to treatment plans put forward by his or her physician, a relationship of trust must be established. Data suggests that compassion and empathy shown by doctors, along with the encouragement they give their patients to play an active role in their treatment, contributes to the trust they earn. Outside the scope of the patient-physician interaction, multiple extrinsic factors play a role in the patients’ social trust of the physician and the institution of healthcare. This study aimed to gain a better understanding of areas …

On Wargaming, Matthew B. Caffrey Jr.

Newport Papers

Wargames are as old as civilization—and perhaps older. In his informative and entertaining Public Broadcasting series Connections, James Burke argued that the first invention, the one that enabled all later inventions, was the plow. It allowed agriculture, and as agriculture permitted denser populations, the frequency of inventions increased, due either to “connecting” with new applications or combining with other inventions to create one that was greater than the sum of its parts.

Defining Infidelity And Identifying Offending Spouses, Yabin Tang

Theses and Dissertations--Family Sciences

Research on infidelity has suffered from inconsistency in how infidelity has been operationalized across studies. This study was designed to advance methodological considerations for defining infidelity and identifying offending spouses. A subjective definition of infidelity was obtained from each respondent via both closed- and open-ended items. The open-ended responses were applied to explore the definition of infidelity. Additionally, an indirect questioning method was adopted to identify offending spouses according to their own subjective definitions of cheating and test the effectiveness of this approach relative to direct questioning for identifying offending spouses. Furthermore, gender differences in acknowledging infidelity through both direct …

Psychological Factors Related To Resilience And Vulnerability Among Youth With Hiv In An Integrated Care Setting., Tiffany Chenneville, Kemesha Gabbidon, Courtney Lynn, Carina Rodriguez

USF St. Petersburg Campus Faculty Publications

Approximately 22% of HIV diagnoses in 2015 occurred among youth aged 13–24. Much is known about the risk factors and psychopathology present in youth living with HIV (YLWH), however, relatively little is known about resiliency in this population. The current study sought to assess factors related to resilience and vulnerability among YLWH as well as the impact of psychosocial factors on these constructs using existing clinical data from an integrated care clinic serving YLWH in the southeastern United States. Data included findings from mental health screeners administered as part of the standard protocol of care for youth aged 13–24 including …

When It Comes To Moocs, Where You Are From Makes A Difference, Bahaa Gameel, Karin Gwinn Wilkins

USF St. Petersburg Campus Faculty Publications

Millions of learners have enrolled in MOOCs in the last few years. However, little is known about the essential skills students need to succeed in MOOCs. Even less is known about how country of origin or other aspects such as gender might affect these skills. By integrating the resources and appropriation scholarship with second-level digital divide research, this study considers skills used to engage ICTs with self-efficacy and locus of control among MOOC learners from five regions. Results from surveying 2882 learners who enrolled in five English and Arabic MOOCs reveal significant differences among learners from various regions. Based on …

Standing On Common Ground: Applying Arendt’S Theories Of History And Education To The Effects Of National Identity Conflict On Education Policy In Bosnia And Herzegovina, Michelle Lee

Theses & ETDs

This thesis explores the relationship between national identity conflict and education. After considering various dynamics of national identity formation and analyzing Hannah Arendt’s position on facts, education, and segregation, and how those components relate to social trust, this study examines education in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first chapter identifies factors that may cause shifts in national identity through a review of the literature. The second chapter constructs a framework to understand and critique how facts and models of education function in Arendt, through close readings of “Truth and Politics”, “The Crisis in Education”, and “Reflections on Little Rock”. The third …

Through The Looking Glass: Donald Trump, Heteronormativity And Homosociality, Jessica Mei

2019 Claremont Colleges Library Undergraduate Research Award

My research focuses on how society constructs gender and sexuality by analyzing how both academics and the media react to Donald Trump’s deviations from normative, hyper-masculine behavior. Currently, society reads his non-normative rhetoric and actions through a heteronormative lens and therefore characterize him as a homosexual. I believe this characterization is both demeaning to the queer community and also not accurate. Instead, it is clear to me that his deviations mark him as having homosocial tendencies, which is more accurate and less problematic.

Scientific Integrity In The Forensic Sciences: Consumerism, Conflicts Of Interest, And Transparency, Nicholas V. Passalacqua, Marin A. Pilloud, William Belcher

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

The goal of this paper is to discuss scientific integrity, consumerism, conflicts of interest, and transparency within the context of forensic science. Forensic scientists play crucial roles within the legal system and are constantly under various pressures when performing analytical work, generating reports based on their analyses, or testifying to the content of these reports. Maintaining the scientific integrity of these actions is paramount to supporting a functional legal system and the practice of good science. Our goal is to discuss the importance of scientific integrity as well as the factors it may compromise, so that forensic practitioners may be …

Risk Factors For Depression Among Early Childhood Teachers, Amy Roberts, Kathleen C. Gallagher, Alexandra Daro, Iheoma U. Iruka, Susan Sarver

Buffet Early Childhood Institute Reports and Publications

This study examined possible risk factors associated with teachers’ depression in a variety of early childhood settings. Teachers with lower pay, no health insurance, multiple jobs, greater job stress, and more adult-centered beliefs reported more symptoms of depression. To reduce these symptoms, efforts should be made to support teachers’ mental health at multiple levels, including individual, environmental, and policy.

Researchers used data collected in 2015-16 from a large survey of early childhood educators in Nebraska. Four early childhood settings were sampled: licensed family child care homes (home-based), licensed child care centers (center-based), state-funded PreK programs, and elementary schools serving children …
