Hotel Satisfaction: An Exploration In Tourist Preferences, Alyssa Grajalez
Hotel Satisfaction: An Exploration In Tourist Preferences, Alyssa Grajalez
Ursidae: The Undergraduate Research Journal at the University of Northern Colorado
The purpose of this research was to evaluate hotel satisfaction among tourists attending their most memorable travel experience. A sample of 103 participants in the US completed an online questionnaire evaluating their most memorable travel event in which they stayed in a hotel using the pre-existing hotel satisfaction attributes of hotel value, room, service, cleanliness, and location to determine their overall hotel satisfaction. Additional amenities including Wi-Fi, pool, continental breakfast, and exercise area were also included in the questionnaire to evaluate participant hotel satisfaction. It was found that the most important attribute contributing to hotel satisfaction and in the hotel …
Food Insecurity In An Anthropogenic Age: An Analysis Into How Consumer Demand Will Shift During Crisis Events, Chloe G. Parsons, Christina Kuchmaner
Food Insecurity In An Anthropogenic Age: An Analysis Into How Consumer Demand Will Shift During Crisis Events, Chloe G. Parsons, Christina Kuchmaner
Ursidae: The Undergraduate Research Journal at the University of Northern Colorado
Consumers in the United States may need to adjust their food demand due to food insecurity caused by climate warming events. Research has focused on how climate change impacts food supply chains and distribution; however, there was little research on how consumers responded to these changes. This study analyzed how consumers across the United States responded to food insecurity caused by crisis events (i.e. pandemics and climate change), how consumers shifted from grocery store vendors to local food vendors, and if migration or food miles may increase based on potential food shortages. One study was initiated through survey and a …
Exploring The Impacts Of Covid-19 On Lgbtq+ Intimate Communication, Jakob L. Coykendall
Exploring The Impacts Of Covid-19 On Lgbtq+ Intimate Communication, Jakob L. Coykendall
Ursidae: The Undergraduate Research Journal at the University of Northern Colorado
The question guiding this exploratory qualitative research study is, “How has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted LGBTQ+ intimate communication and relationships?” Recently, scholars have demanded that communication scholarship be conducted through an intersectional lens that analyzes multiple dimensions of social identities, including LGBTQ+ identities. Queer Theory poses questions around gender, sexual, and romantic identities that can help expand our understanding of different forms of intimate communication. “Queering” interpersonal communication research involves challenging traditional understandings of communication within identities such as sexuality and gender at the individual and structural levels (Chevrette, 2013). Queering communication research supports a more in depth analysis of …
Celebrating Hmong: A Minute Ethnography Of Hmong Americans In Minneapolis, Madison Baczuk
Celebrating Hmong: A Minute Ethnography Of Hmong Americans In Minneapolis, Madison Baczuk
Ursidae: The Undergraduate Research Journal at the University of Northern Colorado
The Hmong people are a culture that originated in Southern China. However, many Hmong people fled to the U.S (among other nations) with the conclusion of the Vietnam war. Like other Asian cultures, the Hmong people are collectivist and give priority to family members of greater age and of the male gender. The Hmong celebrate birth, marriage, and death through sacred rituals and traditions that honor their ancestors. The Hmong language is in danger of extinction due to globalization. Yet, globalization also brings the general public greater knowledge and exposure to the wonderful culture of the Hmong people.
The Cognitive Evolution Of Homo Erectus, Emily Dzhinenko
The Cognitive Evolution Of Homo Erectus, Emily Dzhinenko
Ursidae: The Undergraduate Research Journal at the University of Northern Colorado
Evolutionary cognitive archaeology evaluates the evolution of cognitive advancements through past hominins and artefacts to understand their intellectual capabilities of planning, reasoning, memory, and problem-solving skills up until present day. I will explore cognitive evolution through a literature review of the effects on Homo erectus from their controlled exploitation of fire. Utilization of fire by H. erectus directly impacted their nutritional intake resulting in physiological changes which included increased brain sizes. Larger brains created room for expansion of the dopaminergic system allowing new cognitive abilities to adapt. Results from these adaptations included a more efficient thermoregulatory system and extraversive behaviours …
