Does The Shoe Fit: Welfare Capitalism And Paternalism At Endicott Johnson Shoe Corporation, Margalit Frank Jan 2025

Does The Shoe Fit: Welfare Capitalism And Paternalism At Endicott Johnson Shoe Corporation, Margalit Frank

Research Days Posters 2025

The Endicott Johnson Shoe Factory (EJ) was one of the most prominent shoe producers in the world between the 1890s and the 1950s. However, EJ was better known for their paternalistic approach to business than their shoes. Corporate paternalism in this case could be classified as a company town, one where amenities such as parks and schools or housing are provided by the company. While the company did provide an abundance of amenities to workers and their families such as healthcare, public parks, and housing, in return it expected loyalty to the company, faith in managers, and avoidance of union …

Plant Community Assembly Dynamics On Rock Walls: The Role Of Environmental Filtering And Dispersal Syndrome, Alison Kryger

Research Days Posters 2025

Natural rock walls serve as habitat patches for plants, offering protection from competition, predation, and disturbance. We examined plant community assembly on rock walls, assessing whether colonization is primarily influenced by top or bottom communities and how dispersal methods affect establishment. Across six locations in New York, 97 plant genera were identified, with 15 (15.5%) found exclusively on rock walls, dispersed by wind (48%), gravity (7%), ballistic (3%), ants (6%), and other animals (36%). Sampling along 0–18 meter transects, it was found that similarity to top communities increased with height (p = 0.005), while no significant effect was found for …

Fascism On The Homefront: Remembering The Nazi Youth Camps Of 1930s New Jersey, Delaney Burke, Ayal Englander, Saber Hassan, Jordyn Weintraub

Research Days Posters 2025

When people think of Nazism in the 1930s, they typically picture Hitler’s rise to power in Germany. However, most are unaware of the Nazi ideology purveyed by the German-American Bund, a pro-fascist group in the United States. Before World War II, the German-American Bund established numerous summer camps for children across the country, hoping to indoctrinate America’s youth into their cause. Scholars have focused on the existence and ideology of the camps, but have failed to identify the impact on surrounding local communities. This podcast focuses on the three camps in New Jersey, exploring how public perceptions of the camps …

Locus Of Control And Diet Quality, Stress Levels And Resilience, Lauren Tarpey, Justin Chong, Lina Ahmed, Kristin Ngo, Aiden Fong, Chloe Mah

Research Days Posters 2025

The study examines how locus of control affects diet quality, stress levels, and resilience. It was hypothesized that individuals with an external locus of control would have poorer diet quality, higher stress, and lack resilience compared to an internal locus of control. Data was collected via an anonymous online survey and analyzed using Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient. Results showed that those who feel unable to control their health consume fewer leafy greens (p< 0.01). People who feel they lack control in their lives were positively correlated with consuming fast and sugary foods (p< 0.01). Those who believe they have a harder time controlling their lives feel that stress is debilitating (p< 0.01). Those who lack confidence in their ability to solve life problems have a harder time rebounding from stressful events (p< 0.01). These results highlight the relationship an external locus of control has on well-being.

The Morrill Act's Unseen Cost: Indigenous Land Seizure And The Path To Reparations, Tobias Martin

Research Days Posters 2025

The Morrill Act of 1862, which formed state “land-grant” universities, has long been celebrated for boosting American educational opportunities and distributing Western land at a reasonable price for Americans to develop. Yet it did so by dispossessing Indigenous Americans through unfair treaties and seizure. In 2020, High Country News exposed this neglected history of what it relabeled “land-grab” universities with a detailed analysis of the parcels of land taken from Native nations to endow each university. Arguments over reparations have ensued as some of the universities funded by the act started to take small steps forward. This project analyzes the …

Uncovering Seed-Handling And Nest Benefits In An Eastern North American Ant-Plant Seed Dispersal Mutualism, Julian Marshall, Rosebelle Ines Jan 2025

Uncovering Seed-Handling And Nest Benefits In An Eastern North American Ant-Plant Seed Dispersal Mutualism, Julian Marshall, Rosebelle Ines

Research Days Posters 2025

In eastern North American forests, Aphaenogaster ants and understory plants are part of a widespread and prominent seed dispersal mutualism. In this mutualism, plants produce seeds with a fatty-acid-rich package that attracts and provides ants with nutrition and the plants experience lower competition. Aphaenogaster ants disperse seeds by moving them from the parent plant into the soil-based ant nest where the ants remove the elaiosome and feed it to their brood. Seeds without elaiosomes are then discarded, sometimes in the nest, and sometimes outside of the nest. Seed deposition locations may provide benefits to germination and establishment between ant species. …

Review Of Cultural Terminology: Addressing Inconsistencies In Cross-Cultural Research, Monica Ramirez-Molina, Joelle Sacks, Alberto Torres-Aragón, Quinn E. Hendershot, Matthew D. Johnson

Research Days Posters 2025

The study of cultural adaptation continues to grow in social sciences, yet inconsistencies in defining key terms like acculturation, assimilation, and biculturalism hinder theoretical clarity and cross-cultural comparisons. We examine the variability in how constructs are interpreted and operationalized, arguing that such discrepancies lead to theoretical drift and limit the generalizability of research findings. Using Berry’s Acculturation Model (1997) as a foundation, we highlight common misinterpretations, such as the redefinition of assimilation as a bidirectional process and the conflation of integration with biculturalism. A uniform understanding of culturally relevant terminology is necessary for researching the challenges and protective factors in …

Do People Even Read Anymore?, Casey Nyvall

Research Days Posters 2025

Do American adults read for pleasure? If so, do their reading habits in childhood positively correlate to this occurrence, or have any correlation at all? Using university students to represent the adult population, an anonymous survey across a variety of majors and student years attempts to deduce the answer to these questions, by asking respondents if they were voracious or reluctant readers as children, as well as if their households encouraged reading. This even goes as far back as to include being read aloud to by parents or guardians during infancy. The impact of COVID-19 on reading habits is also …

Social Integration And Memory Task: Investigating Moral Judgement Formation, Emma Green, Michael R. Dulas

Research Days Posters 2025

This study investigated how emotional and explicit relational information interact in memory and guide our opinions of people. Participants viewed faces paired with two moral behaviors that were either congruent (e.g., positive-positive) or incongruent (e.g., negative-positive). Participants provided morality ratings of these faces after each behavior. After a delay, it was assessed whether participants remembered their opinions of the people they studied, as well as whether they remembered the actual behaviors those people performed. Initial results show that participants successfully update their ratings of each face, integrating both behaviors into their ratings, even when incongruent. After the delay, the same …

Unveiling The Reid Technique: How Coercive Interrogation Tactics Fail To Protect Juveniles, Sofia Kalaitzis

Research Days Posters 2025

The United States’ failure to ratify the Conventions on the Rights of the Child (CRC) points to inadequacies in the criminal justice system. This omission reflects a broader failure: the criminal justice system is unable to adequately protect children, particularly regarding the protections against self-incrimination. The Reid Technique, a psychological interrogation method used by police, elicits confessions through a series of manipulative tactics and demonstrates unethical exploitation at the hands of the criminal justice system, undermining the justice system and revealing a failure to protect child rights in accordance with the CRC and Fifth and Eighth Amendments. The legal, psychological, …

From Property To Patriarchy: Thomas Spence And Women’S Economic Rights, Emma Chin

Research Days Posters 2025

In the 1790s, growing calls for women’s economic independence and social participation intersected with the radical ideas of Thomas Spence, a vocal advocate for common land ownership and rent sharing. As feminist thought gained momentum, debates over women’s roles in public and economic life intensified. Spence’s vision promised a basic income for all, but the depth of his commitment to women’s financial autonomy remains uncertain, especially as his writings evolved over time. This paper examines Spence’s key works alongside contemporary feminist critiques, including those of Mary Wollstonecraft, to assess whether his radical philosophy genuinely included women or merely leveraged their …
