Empathy And Generalized Reciprocity In Compliance With Requests For Help, Kenneth Allsop, Kathryn Fifield, John S. Seiter
Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications
This study examined empathy and reciprocity as explanations for why people comply with requests for help. Participants (35 male and 62 female) imagined being asked for money by a person who had locked keys in a car and then reported how likely they would he to comply with such a request, whether they had previously locked their keys in their car (empathy), and, if so, whether they had been helped (reciprocity). In support of the explanation based on empathy, people who reported previously locking their keys in their cars indicated being more likely to comply.
Gender And Sexuality In Victorian England: An Analysis Of The Autobiography Of Christopher Kirkland, Pauline Phipps
Gender And Sexuality In Victorian England: An Analysis Of The Autobiography Of Christopher Kirkland, Pauline Phipps
History Publications
This paper examines Eliza Lynn Linton's experience as a result of her conflicting sentiments about English Victorian gendered norms. Linton's “male” ambition facilitated her entrance into the male work sphere, yet her writing preached the values of domesticity while denigrating women such as herself, who sought careers. Eliza's gender dilemma was best projected in her autobiographical novel, The Autobiography of Christopher Kirkland (1885). This text, which evokes the ambivalence between her acclamation of femininity and her “mannish” behaviour, indicates the tenuous structure of gender and emotional norms. The “role” Eliza assumes as a male suitor, while suggesting interesting meanings about …
Re-Radicalizing Kierkegaard: An Alternative To Religiousness C In Light Of An Investigation Into The Teleological Suspension Of The Ethical, Jack E. Mulder
Re-Radicalizing Kierkegaard: An Alternative To Religiousness C In Light Of An Investigation Into The Teleological Suspension Of The Ethical, Jack E. Mulder
Faculty Publications
In this paper I defend the view that not only does Fear and Trembling espouse the teleological suspension of the ethical as a radical suspension and even possible violation of otherwise ethical duties, but also that Kierkegaard himself espouses it and carries the belief through his entire authorship. A brief analysis of Religiousness A suggests that Climacus made a dialectical error inConcluding Unscientific Postscript. This error is corrected by Anti-Climacus and Kierkegaard's own journals, and the correction makes possible a full-blooded affirmation of the teleological suspension where Climacus failed. This reaffirmation can explain the shift from Climacus to Anti-Climacus on …

The Acceptability Of Deception As A Function Of Perceivers' Culture, Deceiver's Intention, And Deceiver-Deceived Relationship, John S. Seiter, Jon Bruschke, Chunsheng Bai
Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications
This study explored the degree to which deception is perceived to be a socially acceptable form of communication. It was suspected that a liar's motivation for deceiving, a perceiver's cultural background, and the type of relationship between a liar and the target of a lie (e.g., spouse, friend, stranger, etc.) would affect the perceived acceptability of deceptive messages. Students from China and the United States rated the degree to which they perceived deceptive acts depicted in written scenarios as acceptable or unacceptable. Results indicated that 1) lies told for malicious or self‐benefiting purposes were perceived as less acceptable than mutually‐benefiting …
