Religion Vs. Politics: Which Wins At A Christian Liberal Arts University?, Amanda Williams

Political Studies Student Projects

Scholars have studied the effects of framing on different groups of people for decades. There has also been research on the relationship between religious beliefs and politics. This article takes the unique population of a Christian college campus to combine the test of faith against politics through subtle framing. When faced with a political frame, will these Christians ultimately side with their political beliefs or their religious beliefs?

Home Victimization And Preadolescents' Parental And Police Trust, Ellie Jarosinski, Brooke Welch Apr 2022

Home Victimization And Preadolescents' Parental And Police Trust, Ellie Jarosinski, Brooke Welch
