Religiousness And Depression: Evidence For A Main Effect And The Moderating Influence Of Stressful Life Events, Timothy B. Smith, Michael E. Mccullough, Justin Poll
Religiousness And Depression: Evidence For A Main Effect And The Moderating Influence Of Stressful Life Events, Timothy B. Smith, Michael E. Mccullough, Justin Poll
Faculty Publications
The association between religiousness and depressive symptoms was examined with meta-analytic methods across 147 independent investigations (N = 98,975). Across all studies, the correlation between religiousness and depressive symptoms was –.096, indicating that greater religiousness is mildly associated with fewer symptoms. The results were not moderated by gender, age, or ethnicity, but the religiousness–depression association was stronger in studies involving people who were undergoing stress due to recent life events. The results were also moderated by the type of measure of religiousness used in the study, with extrinsic religious orientation and negative religious coping (e.g., avoiding difficulties through religious activities, …
Risk And The Economic Incentive To Retain Ownership Of Steer Calves, Scott Fausti, Brad Johnson, William Epperson, Nancy Grathwohl
Risk And The Economic Incentive To Retain Ownership Of Steer Calves, Scott Fausti, Brad Johnson, William Epperson, Nancy Grathwohl
Economics Staff Paper Series
Retained ownership of steer calves is an investment decision for cow/calf producers. Data collected over a three-year period on 845 steer calves reveals that retaining ownership of steer calves is, on average, profitable. Systematic and unsystematic risks associated with retaining ownership of steer calves are identified. Empirical results indicate that unsystematic risk account for 67% of the variability in the rate of return to retained ownership. Empirical evidence also suggests that retaining ownership is a riskier investment decision than assumed in the earlier literature. This suggests that the lack of enthusiasm for retaining ownership by cow/calf producers is the result …

Into That Dark Night: Nazi Germany And The Jews, 1933-1939 (Review), Elizabeth Mckeigue
Staff publications, research, and presentations
Produced in collaboration with Drew University and Yad Vashem (The Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority), this disc objectively presents the historical and political climate in 1930 Germany that led to the Nazi regime, what many consider to be one of the darkest periods in human history. It includes a history of the rise of Nazism and the political state it created, effectively illustrating the series of political and economic developments that fostered an environment of suspicion toward minorities, in particular the nation's Jewish population. When a charismatic leader full of hate is added to this crucible, incomprehensible atrocities, such …

Does The Accelerated Reader Program Motivate Fifth Grade Students To Read Beyond The Classroom?, Paula A. Girard
Does The Accelerated Reader Program Motivate Fifth Grade Students To Read Beyond The Classroom?, Paula A. Girard
Theses and Dissertations
The purposes of this qualitative research were to (a) determine if the Renaissance Accelerated Reader program provided motivation for fifth grade students to read beyond the classroom; and (b) to determine if the Accelerated Reader program acted as a catalyst to affect changes in students' reading behaviors as a result of extrinsic rewards. Seventy-six students participated in the study between October 2002 and March 2003. Results showed that students were clearly motivated by extrinsic rewards and preferred choosing to read books on the Accelerated Reader list to those that did not have an accompanying A.R. quiz. Rewards, points and recognition …
