Cultural Scripts Of Parental Intervention In Conflict, Kristina L. Mcdonald '02
Cultural Scripts Of Parental Intervention In Conflict, Kristina L. Mcdonald '02
Honors Projects
Parents frequently intervene in the conflicts that children experience with other peers. The work of Ross, Hastings and their colleagues has alerted researchers to the possibility that parents engage in such intervention in part to teach children lessons. Ross and her colleagues have focused on the role of such intervention for teaching children rules about possession and property rights. Whereas property rights might be particularly salient in cultures such as the European-American subgroups in the U.S. that emphasize individualism and market forces, this might be less salient in other cultures. Many of the cultural groups in Indonesia emphasize collectivism, social …
The Effects Of A Parent-Child Communication Activity On The Worries Of Siblings Of Children With Autism, Sara M. Irwin '02
The Effects Of A Parent-Child Communication Activity On The Worries Of Siblings Of Children With Autism, Sara M. Irwin '02
Honors Projects
This study was designed to obtain objective results about the effects of two different parent-child activities on the siblings of children with autism. Participants were eighteen 6-13 year-old siblings of children with autism and their parents. One group of parent-child pairs completed a workbook focused on autism-specific worries, while another group of parent-child pairs played board games together. The children in each group completed a questionnaire about their autism-related worries at the end of the activity. Results demonstrated that the workbook was useful in making parents more aware of specific worries that their children have as shown by a strong …

Masculine Threat And Anti-Gay Attitude, Chad Corbley '02
Honors Projects
In a pretest, male and female participants completed the PAQ, a measure of self perceived masculinity and femininity. Only male participants (though they were not aware of this fact) were contacted to return for the second part of the study. Participants were hooked up to psychophysiological recording equipment and took part in one of three conditions. In the masculine threat condition, they took a test ostensibly measuring masculine knowledge and received false negative feedback. In the general threat condition, participants took a test ostensibly measuring general knowledge and received the same feedback. The no threat or control condition was exactly …
Examining The Cognitive And Physiological Processes Underlying Traumatic Disclosure, Anna Carlson '02
Examining The Cognitive And Physiological Processes Underlying Traumatic Disclosure, Anna Carlson '02
Honors Projects
The aims of this research were to examine the cognitive and physiological reactions associated with the disclosure of a traumatic event. Cognitive-Experiential Self-Theory (Epstein, 1991; 1998) suggests that there are two separate modes of information processing. One is the rational mode that is based on logic and the other is the experiential mode that is based on emotions and heuristics. The way these two modes of processing may be related to disclosure was examined using 60 undergraduate students at Illinois Wesleyan University. Participants engaged in one of four writing conditions; a trivial topic, the emotions surrounding a traumatic experience, the …

Possible explanations for this finding are suggested. These explanations include: population demographics, small sample size, and effects of medication.
Illumination And Food Deprivation As Determinants For Hoarding In Golden Hampsters, Erin Smith '02
Illumination And Food Deprivation As Determinants For Hoarding In Golden Hampsters, Erin Smith '02
Honors Projects
It is important for animals to adapt to changes in food availability in order to survive. Hoarding is one method of accomplishing this and the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) is particularly adept at hoarding. Previous literature suggests a connection between hoarding and stress. To further examine this connection, the present study looked at the effects of illumination and food deprivation on the hoarding behavior of male golden hamsters. The within-subjects design allowed each of the 12 subjects to be tested in each of the 4 conditions: 1) illumination and food deprivation, 2) illumination and no food deprivation, 3) food deprivation …
Evaluating The Collaborative Efforts Of Teachers And Parents Of Children With Autism Spectrum, Lindsey Vacco '02
Evaluating The Collaborative Efforts Of Teachers And Parents Of Children With Autism Spectrum, Lindsey Vacco '02
Honors Projects
Educators have emphasized the importance of parent involvement in the educational process for decades. The definitions of parent involvement, however, have changed over time with a current emphasis on genuine parent-school collaboration where parents are seen as partners in their child's education. Such collaboration is especially crucial when the children have special needs, such as those on the autism spectrum. Autism spectrum disorders pose unique challenges to the home-school relationship in part due to the child's communication and social impairments. This study is part of a larger, ongoing study examining home-school relationships between parents and teachers of children with autism …
The Cellular Divide: A Comparative Analysis Of Mobile Phone Usage In Spain And The United States, Deborah J. Slezak '02
The Cellular Divide: A Comparative Analysis Of Mobile Phone Usage In Spain And The United States, Deborah J. Slezak '02
Honors Projects
The usage of mobile phones has dramatically increased in the past decade, narrowing the boundaries of size, space, and time. It is this "death of distance" that will be the single most important economic force shaping all of society over the next half century. The economic prosperity of the United States has contributed to the increase in this "luxury" telecommunication device, but how can the rapid increase in European countries with lower per capita incomes such as Spain be explained? The purpose of this paper is to examine mobile phone usage and penetration rates in the United States compared to …
Constructing A Common Ukrainian Identity: An Empirical Study, Igor Khrestin '02
Constructing A Common Ukrainian Identity: An Empirical Study, Igor Khrestin '02
Honors Projects
This study will examine the factors influencing the construction of a common national identity in Ukraine. The uniqueness of the Ukrainian case stems from its oppressive Russian-dominated past, its communist experience, and a weak role of nationalism prior to independence. Until 1991, Ukraine lacked the necessary components to be considered a successful nation-state. Literally translated as "borderland," Ukraine has never had a readily-identifiable common territory or a common people. Harsh assimilatory policies of its rulers have left a sharply divided society, with differing languages, customs, and conflicting identities. When the Soviet Union collapsed, the state of Ukraine proclaimed its independence …
A Question Of Motivations: Determining Why Donor Countries Give Aid, Sarah Fuller '02
A Question Of Motivations: Determining Why Donor Countries Give Aid, Sarah Fuller '02
Honors Projects
Despite the fact that foreign aid has been around in its present form since World War II, foreign aid analysis, especially from the donor's point of view, has been and continues to be highly contested. In 1992, the United Nations claimed that "ODA [Official Development Assistance] allocation is 'strange and arbitrary'" and "ODA is determined not by the needs of developing countries, but by the fluctuating goodwill of the people and their parliaments in the rich countries. As a result, it is largely ad hoc and unpredictable" (United Nations Development Programme, 45). This statement cannot, however, explain why Africa is …

It tells the story about the power that is unleashed when girls are given the opportunity to play. The authors describe how the Mathare Youth Sports Association (MYSA), begun in 1987 as a self-help club for boys that linked sports and environmental improvement, has evolved into a successful program that provides new opportunities for boys and girls alike in the poorest neighborhoods of Nairobi.
Living Arrangements And Socio-Demographic Conditions Of Older Adults In Cambodia, Zachary Zimmer, Sovan Kiry Kim
Living Arrangements And Socio-Demographic Conditions Of Older Adults In Cambodia, Zachary Zimmer, Sovan Kiry Kim
Poverty, Gender, and Youth
Since the takeover of Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge in 1975, analysis of social conditions in the country has been lacking. Only recently has dependable socio-demographic data become available. We use some of these data to examine living arrangements and other socio-demographic conditions among Cambodia’s older population and compare results to those recently found in Thailand and Vietnam. On balance, living arrangements in Cambodia are similar to those in neighboring countries. Older adults are likely to be living with a grown child and in a variety of arrangements involving different family members. To determine gender preference for coresident children we …

South Asia: Clarify Goals And Expand The Reach Of Anti-Trafficking Programs, Frontiers In Reproductive Health
Reproductive Health
Each year, a significant number of adults and children become victims of human trafficking—forced transportation within or across country borders for exploitation in the form of forced sex, labor, or other services unwillingly given. In September 2001, the Population Council collaborated with the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health and the United Nations Development Fund for Women to conduct a consultative meeting on antitrafficking programs in South Asia. About 50 participants from national and international human rights and antitrafficking organizations attended the three-day meeting, held in Kathmandu, Nepal. The meeting had three objectives: clarifying the definition of trafficking; describing the …
