A Toast! To The International Year Of Light, Michael Bass
UCF Forum
December 2013, at the United Nations’ 68th General Assembly meeting, the assembled countries could not as usual solve the problems of world conflicts, human slavery, wide-spread famine and the Israeli-Palestinian question. So, it decided to do something it could: It declared that 2015 would be the International Year of Light.
Online Gender Discussions: Student Experiences In Discussions Of Gender Diversity, Rory Andrew Mckenzie
Online Gender Discussions: Student Experiences In Discussions Of Gender Diversity, Rory Andrew Mckenzie
Communication & Leadership Dissertations and Theses
This thesis examined graduate level students’ experiences of (mainly gender) diversity in the online classroom. The philosophical framework for this study came from John Rawls’ work utilizing the veil of ignorance as a strategy to create more objective determinations free from situational and circumstantial biases. Both critical pedagogy and the theory that individuals construct social and cultural meaning through communication provided the theoretical foundations for the thesis. The study analyzed experiences of the students via their contributions to the online discussion boards.. The study also utilized interviews of current and former students to discuss their experiences with diversity in their …

This past Tuesday the U.S. Justice Department announced that it was dropping the obstruction of justice case against Barry Bonds. He had been charged with perjury and obstruction of justice in 2007 for testifying to a grand jury that he had never knowingly used anabolic steroids or human growth hormone, Bonds’ testimony was given to the grand jury in 2003 as part of a federal investigation into steroid use by athletes popularly known as the BALCO case. Estimates of the cost of this failed pursuit of Bonds run upwards of $100M.
Classifying Political Similarity Of Twitter Users, William K. Paustian
Classifying Political Similarity Of Twitter Users, William K. Paustian
Computer Science Summer Fellows
The emergence of large scale social networks has led to research in approaches to classify similar users on a network. While many such approaches use data mining techniques, recent efforts have focused on measuring the similarity of users using structural properties of the underlying graph representing the network. In this paper, we identify the Twitter followers of the 2016 presidential candidates and classify them as Democrat, Republican or Bipartisan. We did this by designing a new approach to measuring structural similarity, PolRANK. PolRANK computes the similarity of a pair of users by accounting for both the number of candidates they …

The Spectacle Of Black Violence: Historicizing Worldstarhiphop.Com, Caylon Fowlkes
Media and Communication Studies Summer Fellows
Have you ever watched, and possibly laughed, at videos of Blacks fighting? You’re not the only one. Worldstarhiphop.com was created in 2005; it is an online hub for “everything” in regards to hip hop culture. This includes sports highlights and new rap artists as well as “crazy fights” mainly between Black people. The videos are primarily made by Blacks and exploited by many. The purpose of this project is to investigate the attraction society has to the behavior of black youth. There are many things that contribute to this phenomenon of violence occurring among black youth. I have chosen to …

The Association Of Different Types Of Bullying With The Mental Health Of Children And Teens From The United States, France, And Canada, Christina Fisher
Media and Communication Studies Summer Fellows
Bullying continues to trouble youths around the world, sometimes with devastating effects for victims’ mental health. This suggests an ongoing need for awareness, intervention and tolerance for everyone involved. This study, a literature review, explored the extent of these mental health effects found in 50 studies of victims, bullies, and bully-victims, those who are victims of bullying and who also bully others, in the United States, France, and Canada (Willard, 2007). Particular attention was paid to the impact that gender, age, ethnicity, and the LGBTQ community had on researchers’ findings. Findings show that 25.9% to 33% of students in these …

Reel Women: Gender Stereotypes In Film, Kayla Marie Krahn
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Horror films portray female characters as sexual, helpless victims. When horror films attempt to portray female characters as the hero, this sends a message to audiences that women can be strong and independent. An experiment was conducted to test an audience's perceptions gender stereotypes of women in the horror film, Scream. Results indicate that stereotypes present in the horror film effected the participants' perception of women as competent heroes. Female participants were also more likely to perceive women as more competent than male participants. Then, from a qualitative standpoint, five individuals were interviewed about their perceptions of characters in their …

Pepperdine One Semester Abroad: Group Satisfaction & Emotional Well-Being, Carly Hanna, Shannon Tefertiller, Stephanie Cota
Pepperdine Journal of Communication Research
Students who decide to study abroad experience great transition as they adapt from one culture to the next. Interestingly, with so many students studying abroad, it is recognizable that during this change, some students thrive while others do not. Therefore, this study explores the possible factors of what might cause students to report having a positive abroad experience. Specifically, this study analyzes Pepperdine University students to collect data and examine the effects of extraversion and subjective well-being on group satisfaction levels. Although the results could not be generalized, the results concluded that subjective well-being more than extraversion predicted an individual’s …

Satisfaction In Similarity: The Association Between Perceived Communication Styles And Relational Satisfaction, Rachal Marquez, Lily Zhao, Kathrine Kuhlmann, Kyrstin Riley
Pepperdine Journal of Communication Research
In our research, we hypothesized that partners in romantic relationships who reported higher levels of similarity in communication would also express higher levels of relational satisfaction. We used Martin Buber’s theory of dialogic communication to establish the idea that people are attracted to others who are similar to them and are therefore attracted to those who share similar communication styles. To test this theory, we surveyed perceived similarity in communication using the following aspects: humor, introversion, conflict management, and criticalness, followed by a measurement of relational satisfaction, in a sample of people in dating relationships at Pepperdine University to examine …
Friend Or Foe? The Relationship Between Facebook Use And Satisfaction And Jealousy In Long-Distance Dating Relationships, Leigh E. Kolb
Friend Or Foe? The Relationship Between Facebook Use And Satisfaction And Jealousy In Long-Distance Dating Relationships, Leigh E. Kolb
Pepperdine Journal of Communication Research
This study sought to examine the relationship between the use of the social networking platform Facebook and relational satisfaction and jealousy within long-distance dating relationships (LDDRs). With Uncertainty Reduction Theory as a theoretical foundation, we examined existing literature on Facebook’s effects on LDDRs to inform our predictions, and conducted a cross-sectional survey of 74 undergraduate students either currently or recently engaged in a long-distance relationship. Our results show that inequality in Facebook use by LD partners is positively correlated with feelings of jealousy. Although two of our predictions were not strongly supported, our results do suggest a weak relationship between …

Mentoring African-American Women Through Inclusive Male Executive Suite, Tamika Bowser Wright
Communication & Leadership Dissertations and Theses
Women in corporate environments often operate under the glass ceiling, but the term ‘glass ceiling’ is limited in its perspective. It does not account for African-American women in corporate environments who operate under a stronger barrier – the concrete wall. In order to maneuver around the barrier, an action-oriented approach must be taken and mentoring is the structured tool that can help African-American women around this barrier. Through the use of the feminist standpoint theory, and methodical interviews to gain further insight about the position of African-American women in today’s work structure, a formal mentoring will be developed and implemented …
