Over-Imitation In Four-To-Six-Year-Old Children With Autism And Typically Developing Children, Tamara Henschell 2013 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville

Over-Imitation In Four-To-Six-Year-Old Children With Autism And Typically Developing Children, Tamara Henschell

Rehabilitation, Human Resources and Communication Disorders Undergraduate Honors Theses

This study is a follow-up based on research conducted by Horner and Whiten in 2005. Nearly identical methods and materials from that study were used to compare the over-imitation behaviors of preschool children with autism to age-matched typically developing (TD) children. Contrary to the hypothesis, the children with autism were found to over-imitate at the same rates as the TD group. However, several limitations were found in this study that may have influenced the results, including small sample size, test location, and previous training. Keywords: autism spectrum disorders, imitation, over-imitation, emulation

Representations Of Autism In The Media: Perspectives In Popular Television Shows, Katie Dowdy

Rehabilitation, Human Resources and Communication Disorders Undergraduate Honors Theses

The purpose of this study was to examine how accurately autism was depicted in the media (specifically in television) when compared to the scientifically accepted definition. Data for this study was gathered using coding sheets that outlined the definitive and secondary characteristics of autism. While watching six episodes of the television show The Big Bang Theory and six episodes of the television show Parenthood, examiners evaluated scenes involving the character with autism using a separate coding sheet for each designated scene. Examiners used the continuous coding method, identifying each instance of particular trait observed throughout the scene. Fifteen different traits …

Hearing The Media: An Investigation Of Mainstream Media And Deaf/Deaf Women's Body Image Development, Aileen Aldalur

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

The positive relationship between exposure to mass media and body image disturbances has been well documented. However, for the most part, these studies have focused on the contributions of media exposure on the body image of White women. Recent research suggests that for ethnic minority women, membership of a cultural minority may be a protective factor against internalization of mainstream standards of beauty and the development of body image disturbance; although this protective buffer depends on women's levels of acculturation within their ethnic cultures and their respective levels of acculturative stress. The current paper presents survey data investigating whether these …
