Getting married at an early age is a social norm far members of the Latter-day Saint (LDS) faith. To our knowledge there are no published studies of marriage desperation in that culture.

Evidence-Based Practice Movements In Psychology: Empirically Supported Treatments, Common Factors, And Objective Methodological Pluralism

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

The empirically supported treatment and common-factors rnovements each offer a .framework for evidence-based practice. However, neither framework is sufficiently objective or inclusive; rather, they are based on unexamined conceptions of evidence that commit pre-investigatory biases against certain types of methods and practices. An EST framework is built upon unexamined medical-model assumptions of evidence that are biased toward specific treatments based on randomized controlled (or clinical) trials (RCTs}; thus, it fails to consider viable non-medical-model research methods and types of practice. Analogously, the common-factors movement, which has influenced a recent American Psychological Association (APA) policy on evidence-based practice, is built upon …

Retrograde Amnestic Symptoms From Witnessing A Traumatic Event

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

According to Loftus and Burns (I 982), retrograde amnesia can result from witnessing a traumatic event. In this experiment, two groups of participants were surveyed after a brief presentation. One group witnessed a mildly traumatic event in the presentation and one did not. Both groups were then asked to recall information from the presentation. Compared with the non-trauma group, significantly fewer participants in the trauma group recalled information from the presentation (66.6% vs. 21.8%; chi-square test significant at the 0.001 level), supporting our hypothesis that witnessing tl mildly traumatic event may result in retrograde amnestic symptoms.

The Influence Of Perceived Parenting Styles On The Degree Of Adult Children's Allocation Of Punishment

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

Though extensive research has been done investigating parenting styles and the influence that those styles have on children (e.g., Baumrid, 1971; Buri, 1991; Lamborn, Mounts, Steinberg, & Dornbusch, 1991), the influence of parents and their parenting styles 011 their adult children's assignment of punishment has not been thoroughly examined.

The Effects Of Semantic Relationships On The Irrelevant Sound Effect

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

This study investigated whether the degree of semantic relationship between audible distracter words and visually displayed to-be-remembered words impact short-term memory recall. Semantic relationship was defined as the level of synonymity between the two categories of words. Participants were divided into a control group receiving no distracter, a group in which distracter words and to-be-remembered words were closely synonymous, and a group in which distracter words and to-be-remembered words were loosely synonymous. The results indicate that semantic relationships have no impact on the number of words correctly recalled However, closely synonymous relationships caused more replacement errors than silence or loosely …

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

This study was conducted with 16 international non-native English speaking undergraduate students to examine the impact of tokenism on such students' test-taking performance. The students were divided into two testing conditions. The experimental group was given a modified GRE verbal ability test in a room with three native English speaking confederates. The control group was given the same test in the presence of fellow international students. The purpose was to compare test results of the two groups, taking into account participants' TOEFL scores, age, and length of stay in the United States. A significant difference was found between the experimental …

Occasional Paper Series

This paper raises questions about teachers’ interventions into children’s exchanges around gender in elementary classrooms. Masuchika Boldt argues that gender is ever-present in the classroom and children are constantly making assertions about the meaning of gender and the authenticity of their own and others’ gender performances. She speaks to the question, “If a teacher does interpret this exchange as being at least in part about gender, what, if any, response is called for?”

Nebraska Monthly Economic Indicators: October 25, 2017, Eric Thompson

Leading Economic Indicator Reports

The Leading Economic Indicator – Nebraska (LEI-N) 1 rose by 1.86% during September of 2017. The increase in the LEI-N, which is designed to predict economic activity six months into the future, suggests solid economic growth in Nebraska during the first quarter of 2018. The rise in the indicator was due to an increase in building permits for single-family homes and growth in manufacturing hours-worked. There also was a decline in the value of the dollar in September, which is positive for Nebraska exporters. Finally, there were positive business expectations. Businesses responding to the September Survey of Nebraska Business reported …

Information Science Faculty Publications

Across the globe, our work and social lives are increasingly integrated with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), yet massive disparities in the values, uses and benefits of ICT exist. New methods are needed to shed light on unique and integrative concepts of ICT across cultures. This paper explores the use of visual methods to facilitate critical engagement with ICT—defined as situational awareness, reflexive ICT practice and power and control over ICT. This definition of critical ICT engagement is informed by a cultural identity lens, and intends to improve participatory methods in ICT for Development (ICT4D) and community technology design and …

The Effects Of Assisted Voluntary Return Programs On Marginalized Women: A Critique Of The Iom And Unhcr, Annalisa Lochan

Laurier Undergraduate Journal of the Arts

This paper examines the evolution of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) from humanitarian agencies to migration management bodies through the use of Assisted Voluntary Return (AVR) Programs to repatriate asylum seekers. In this paper, I argue that the normative shift toward the use of AVRs by International Organizations (IOs) is detrimental to Global South migrant women because it presents them with a forced decision to return to their countries of origin in exchange for money at the cost of surrendering their access to the refugee regime.
