Perceiving Big Five Traits Accurately at True Zero Acquaintance

Creator:

Brown, Jill A.

Abstract:

This research focused on the accuracy of trait judgments at zero acquaintance and after five minutes of interaction. Thirty-five undergraduates judged the neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness of four to six others whom they did not know. Participants then interacted in one-on-one conversations with each target for five minutes....

Numerical Effects on Timing System Pathways

Creator:

Steiner, Samantha K.

Abstract:

Studying human’s ability to estimate temporal durations could lead to a greater understanding of our cognitive abilities as well as the processes that underlie temporal estimation. It has been shown through previous research that time and number may be interconnected cognitively and that the magnitude of one may alter the...

Tissue weighting factors for radiation protection : derivation and parametric analysis

Creator:

Makinson, Kevin A.

Abstract:

Tissue weighting factors, w[subscript T], used to convert equivalent dose to effective dose, account for differences in radiosensitivity of various organs in the human body and allow users to compare individual organ detriment to whole body risk. They are explicitly calculated in ICRP 26, 60, and 103, although the methods...

The effects of static and dynamic stretching on reaction time and performance in a countermovement jump

Creator:

Perrier, Erica Taylor

Abstract:

PURPOSE: The purpose of this research was to quantify the effects of a warm-up with static or dynamic stretching on countermovement jump height, reaction time, muscle onsets for tibialis anterior (TA) and vastus lateralis (VL), and low back/ hamstring flexibility. METHODS: Twenty one recreationally-active males (24.4 ± 4.5 yrs), recruited...
