Narrative Life Review And Poetry-Writing With Older Adults, Cherita M. Black
Narrative Life Review And Poetry-Writing With Older Adults, Cherita M. Black
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
This thesis explores narrative life review and poetry writing with older individuals, as an alternative to support their successful aging. Four females, ages 66-93, participated in a two-part project. Phase I included: (a) completing a narrative life review, and (b) developing original poetry with the researcher. Phase II included: (a) poetry reflection and (b) completing an open-ended evaluation. Phase 1 results demonstrated four successful narrative life reviews, which composed the poetry-writing sessions. Phase II demonstrated that three out of four participants reported no significant positive influences in the evaluation. Implications suggest social well-being replicated study can possibly assess social well-being …
Mood And Experience: Effects Of Ostracism On Diathesis Activation, Rachel Archer
Mood And Experience: Effects Of Ostracism On Diathesis Activation, Rachel Archer
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
The stress-diathesis model is a well-known but little-tested theory which states that people can possess diatheses, or vulnerabilities, to certain mental disorders such as depression or anxiety. These diatheses are activated when a person is under stress. This study examined how ostracism as a temporary stressor can trigger existing diatheses and cause increases in depression symptoms among at-risk people. Theory suggests that ostracism is likely to trigger symptoms of depression in at-risk people. This study is an extension of a study conducted by Luxton, Ingram, and Wenzlaff (2006) in which people with naturally varying levels of diathesis factors were exposed …
Self-Referencing Effects Of Social Networking On Judgments In An Employment Context, Abigail Lewis
Self-Referencing Effects Of Social Networking On Judgments In An Employment Context, Abigail Lewis
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
This study examined how various components of a social networking website (SNW) as well as rater characteristics can impact employee evaluations. Participants were presented with a job description, an applicant résumé, an applicant SNW profile, and a survey to measure rater characteristics. Professionally-oriented Facebook profiles received higher ratings than their counterparts, evaluations differed based on rater characteristics (e.g., personality), and raters varied in their perceptions of the relative value of SNW profiles. As these findings demonstrate that SNW profiles influence employer judgments to varying degrees based on rater characteristics and perceptions, organizations should use caution when viewing SNW profiles until …
Adjusting Multiple Correlations For Regression Overfitting And Indirect Range Restriction, Charles Bolton Iii
Adjusting Multiple Correlations For Regression Overfitting And Indirect Range Restriction, Charles Bolton Iii
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
No research to date has been conducted to investigate the efficacy of and proper procedures for adjusting multiple correlations for the combined effects of regression overfitting and indirect range restriction. The present study uses Monte Carlo analyses to investigate the implementation of both of these adjustments.
