  • 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.

  • 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...

  • An inquiry into the import demand for fresh American fruit in Hong Kong

    Creator:
    Johnson, Martin A.
    Abstract:
    West Coast fruit cooperatives working together in joint-venture trading companies may well lower the prices of their fruit for export through economies of scale. However, present and future foreign demand for American fruit may constrain any economies of scale that are realized in joint-venture agreements. The major objective of this...

    Creator:
    Brydone-Jack, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    This research focused on characterizing the relationship between self-enhancing humor, self-compassion, and long-term emotional traits.. It was hypothesized that self-enhancing humor would be related to self-compassion and the related subscales of mindfulness and self-kindness. In addition, it was predicted that self-enhancing humor would relate most strongly to positive emotional traits....

  • Economic evaluation of projects and policies affecting anadromous fish : a simulation approach

    Creator:
    Hastie, James D.
    Abstract:
    Anadromous fish populations in the Pacific Northwest have undergone substantial change throughout the past century. Historical periods of over-harvest and the construction of numerous dams throughout the region have contributed to declines in the runs of naturally spawning stocks. Management efforts to rebuild fish populations have focused on the restriction...

    Creator:
    DeFelice, Jessica
    Abstract:
    A commitment to diversity is now quite common in the missions of colleges and universities. One of the primary barriers to hiring a diverse faculty is the role that implicit bias, or the case of identifying flawed ideas as reliable choices systematically, plays in the search and selection process. At...

  • Individual Differences in Intuitive Risk Judgments

    Creator:
    Brunot, Alexander N.
    Abstract:
    The present research sought to investigate individual differences in the way individuals process intuitive risk judgments. The present investigation is centered on Fuzzy Trace Theory (Brainerd & Reyna, 1991), a developmental dual process theory of cognition which posits two ways in which individuals process information, gist and verbatim processing. 228...

    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...
