D-2 Nationally Held Public Debt And Economic Growth: An Application To The Us Economy, Lucile Sabas, Leroy Ruhupatty
Celebration of Research and Creative Scholarship
This paper explores the impact of nationally held public debt and foreign debt on the US economy. It has tried to define the nationally held public debt as an additional asset for the private sector by insuring a source of future saving, an increase in investment capacity and a source of increase in demand. A linear regression analysis of 39 observations from 1970 to 2014, using different lengths of lag, from one to five years have shown that for the first year, nationally held public debt has a positive and statistically significant impact on economic growth. However, the coefficient is …
P-07 Information Literacy "Dispositions" Come To The Seminary, Terry Dwain Robertson
P-07 Information Literacy "Dispositions" Come To The Seminary, Terry Dwain Robertson
Celebration of Research and Creative Scholarship
The most recent iteration of the ACRL Standards for Information Literacy has added “dispositions” to the repertoire of information literacy practice. This poster will explore how these “dispositions” might be understood in Adventist Theological Education. The first iteration of ACRL Standards for Information Literacy was largely instrumental and most instruction was focused on using technology. This development shifts the focus from learning an ICT skill to transformative learning. Information seeking has been transformed from a scarcity model to an abundance model. Adventists are now flooded with information from all sides and from all types of sources. The SDA pastor and …

P-13 The Compassion Fatigue And Resilience Connection: A Survey Of Resilience, Compassion Fatigue, Burnout, And Compassion Satisfaction Among Trauma Responders, Harvey J. Burnett Jr, Kathleen Wahl
Celebration of Research and Creative Scholarship
Research has shown that compassion fatigue is associated with burnout and compassion satisfaction. Practically no studies have examined how resilience may impact these variables. This study examined how resilience is related to compassion fatigue, burnout, and compassion satisfaction among a convenience sample of disaster behavioral health and emergency preparedness responders (N = 139) attending a training conference in Michigan. Measures included the 30-item Professional Quality of Life Scale, the 14-item Resilience Scale, and a demographic questionnaire. Seventy-two percent of the participants were at risk for compassion fatigue, while 19% were at risk for burnout. Only 22% of participants had …

P-16 The Life Experiences Of Afro-Caribbean Immigrant Women Living With Hiv: A Phenomenological Investigation, Krista Cooper
Celebration of Research and Creative Scholarship
Of the 1.2 million individuals living with HIV, African Americans continue to be the most adversely impacted population in the U.S. (CDC, 2015). While there has been a decrease over time in new HIV infections among this population, statistics indicate that in 2012, African Americans accounted for almost half of those living with HIV (47%) in the U.S. (CDC, 2015). Among those infected men who have sex with men (MSMs), heterosexual males, and heterosexual females account for highest rates of infection among this group in 2010 (CDC, 2015). Among females, African American women continue to lead in both incidence and …

P-06 The Transgenerational Effect Of Substance Use Between Students, Parents & Grandparents, Subira Brown
Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs
Using a survey conducted among college students at Andrews University, this study focused on substance use and sexual behaviors of students and the presence of familial substance use problems. Analysis indicated a significant association between substance use problems of fathers and their children’s substance use. There was a stronger statistical association between father’s substance use problems and male children’s alcohol use. In addition there was a significant relationship between grandparents substance use and youth sexual behavior for both genders. There is a need for further analysis of the study.
P-07 Exposure To Narratives And Social Reasoning, Cassandra Chlevin
P-07 Exposure To Narratives And Social Reasoning, Cassandra Chlevin
Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs
The primary goal of this study is to replicate the work of Mar, Oatley, Hirsh, dela Paz, and Peterson (2006) on the relationships of narrative and non-narrative texts with empathy and social reasoning in a Seventh-day Adventist Christian sample. The second goal is to examine how different types of Biblical texts correlate with the development of social reasoning in Adventists. Results are expected to mirror those of the original study regardless of religious affiliation. An implication of this study is that for an Adventist population, exposure to religious narratives may play a role in how empathy and social reasoning develops.
P-18 Narcissism And The Selfie: Investigating Millennial Narcissism On Instagram, Megan Reed
P-18 Narcissism And The Selfie: Investigating Millennial Narcissism On Instagram, Megan Reed
Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs
Recent research shows a correlation between self-promoting images on social media and higher levels of narcissism. This research will further demonstrate the positive correlation between the proportion of selfies an individual posts on Instagram and Millennial narcissism. The proportion of pictures that are selfies is measured in two ways: in the subject’s past 4-weeks of picture posting and in the last 30 pictures the subject posted. The standard Narcissistic Personality Inventory is used to measure the subject’s level of narcissism. The subject’s proportion of selfies and narcissistic score is then analyzed for any possible correlation.
P-30 Edward Snowden, Criminal Or Patriot: Media Coverage Of National Security Agency Document Leaks, Joyce M. Yoon
P-30 Edward Snowden, Criminal Or Patriot: Media Coverage Of National Security Agency Document Leaks, Joyce M. Yoon
Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs
Kenneth Burke’s dramatistic pentad was used to analyze Edward Snowden’s National Security Agency (NSA) document leaks from June 5, 2013 through October 1, 2013 as published in the New York Times (NYT) and the Guardian. The articles were coded by newspaper, headline, reporting journalist, page prominence, word count, publication date, and tone of stories. Content analysis revealed that the Guardian utilized the word “whistleblower” extensively in a positive way while the NYT most often used the term “leaker” in a negative way. Both papers overlap in their identification of Snowden’s actions as one of the most significant intelligence disclosures …

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs
Attitudes towards LGBT are shifting, with over half (51%) of the US population now favoring same-sex marriage. LGBT issues are also being hotly debated in the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) church. The purpose of this research is to examine how the film, ‘Seventh-Gay Adventist’ (SGA) influences SDA college students’ attitudes regarding homosexuality. My study will compare attitude scores of students using an experimental design with random assignment. Both the experimental group and the control group will complete a commonly used Homosexuality Attitude Scale and modified version of Fulton’s Adventists and LGB’s survey (2013) at pre-test and post-test. The control and primary …
