Kilburn and Brugam examine the impact of the burning of forests and prairies by Native Americans on the plant species in west-central Illinois.


The Effects Of Audio Distractions On Typing Speed, Ashley Silverberg May 2010

The Effects Of Audio Distractions On Typing Speed, Ashley Silverberg

Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal

The purpose of this study was to find whether or not background music/other audio served as a distraction or a valuable tool to get work done faster. The hypothesis stated that hearing upbeat music or background conversations while typing will result in participants typing slower because it will act as a distraction. Furthermore, hearing soothing music (or no music at all) while typing will make the participant type faster because he/she will be more comfortable with the environment. To pursue the hypothesis, the present study required a within-participant design in order to compare both the control and experimental variables within …

Classroom Environment: An Analysis Of Researcher Dress And Academic Achievement, Ryan Holley

Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal

The world of academics is continually redefining its standards for beneficial teaching techniques and adequate forms of classroom environments for promulgating maximum achievement from students. This research expands on previous ideas pertaining to the effects of classroom environment and student achievement by including teacher dress/appearance as a possible variable. The researcher hypothesized that individual success of participants taking achievement- oriented examinations can be influenced by the physical appearance of the researcher (dress). Participants perform better in an environment in which the researcher is formally dressed (shirt and tie), while participants perform worse in an environment in which the research is …


Perceived Racial Expectations Of Children, Jessica Roessleain May 2010

Perceived Racial Expectations Of Children, Jessica Roessleain

Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal

This is a proposed research study concerning the presence of prejudice among children, especially concerning ambiguous everyday situations. Racism can be a source of chronic stress, mental health issues, and physical health issues for those involved, and everyday acts of prejudice can be even more harmful that overt acts of racism. These acts can cause health problems as serious as cardiovascular disease. Therefore this study aims to identify racial preferences among children, in the form of everyday ambiguous situations by having them identify what is occurring in a picture involving ambiguous interactions between white and black children on a playground. …


The Prevalence Of Technology, Greg Townsend May 2010

The Prevalence Of Technology, Greg Townsend

Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal

The current study at hand administered a survey to determine the prevalence of technology and Internet usage in undergraduate college students. The results of a survey administered to 66 participants revealed that just about two-thirds of the students may have or had an excessive problem, which could be related to several aspects such as age, gender, class status, country of origin, and so on. The results did allow the research to support the hypothesis that stated if someone in college were given a technology and Internet addiction survey, then he/she would report that he/she is in fact addicted to the …


Relationship Between Time And Test Anxiety, Heather Damper, Caludette Reed May 2010

Relationship Between Time And Test Anxiety, Heather Damper, Caludette Reed

Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal

They hypothesis for this study was that if a clock was placed in the classroom then students will suffer from more test anxiety due to increased heart rates measured by their pulse. Due to the fact that there are no clocks in any of the classrooms that the researchers visited the researchers concluded that the outcome of this study would be beneficial to the Lindenwood University Campus and other campuses that do not have clocks in the classrooms. The participants that were a part of this study were all recruited through the Lindenwood Participant Pool. The participants varied in gender …

See It! Hear It! Learn It!!, Mansi Brat

Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal

The purpose of the following study was to determine if quick and accurate learning can be accomplished by combining visual and auditory modalities amongst a group of participants. By using different modalities, the researcher aimed to demonstrate that helpful and effective learning study strategies can be generated. Thus such techniques involved the use of more than one sensory channel to impart learning. It was noted that the strategies could be very effective when a student had to learn words or paragraphs containing difficult words. Finally, the researcher wanted to determine whether the participants who were exposed to more than one …


Relationship Between Student Involvement And Gpa, Jennifer Ellen Burdick, Paige Martin May 2010

Relationship Between Student Involvement And Gpa, Jennifer Ellen Burdick, Paige Martin

Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal

Data were collected regarding student involvement and grade point average in a way that could be beneficial to the students of Lindenwood University. Many students, whether actively involved in a sport, work, and/or other extracurricular activities, spend their college career engaging in time management. These people may have to sacrifice some schoolwork in order to accomplish everything they desire. In understanding this, the researchers wanted to see if the activities had a relationship with grade point average. The hypothesis stated that students who are actively involved outside of the classroom have less free time. These students may spend less times …
