The purpose of the study, A Psychological Exploration of Engagement in Geek Culture, was to identify and understand why people participate in geek culture. Geek culture is defined as a subculture of enthusiasts that are interested in “obscure” media such as anime, sci-fi, and videogames. However, there are many faucets of the culture and it has become increasingly appealing to mainstream audiences, causing a greater shift in active engagement. Despite geek interests once being marginalized,…

Animal deaths, especially from anthropogenic causes, are valuable indicators of ecological and conservation problems that span a particular population (Collins 2011). Deer mortalities are no exception to this rule of thumb, as deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) are a growing problem in the US and reflect the displacement of deer populations. Over 1 million DVCs occur in the US annually and result in the loss of human life, human injury, and considerable financial costs resulting from the vehicle…

Because the individual differences of slope are found the non-significant, the planned t tests are not applied to examine the subsets of within group differences. On the other hand, the group difference of mean slope was examined for an overall identification of slope change. The group differences of slope are found t= 13.66, p< .01. The mean slope increased from pretest to posttest M1 = .54 to M2 = .60, but not statistically significant. As shown in Figure 3, children in the blocks-group…

What- For over a century, an ethnographic method known as ‘participant observation’ has been an essential tool utilised in various anthropological and sociological disciplines in order to collect important qualitative research about people, their activities, and their cultures. (Kawulich, B 2005) Participant observation enables a researcher to learn about the studied culture and its associated activities in a natural setting, through the acts of observing and participating in these activities.…

There is little doubt public education in the United States is under intense scrutiny from the American public in recent years. In Mississippi, years of negative student outcomes have created a great deal of negative publicity for the state’s public schools. It is important for educators, whether at the district level, research level, or policymaking level, to continue to study available data to identify areas of weakness with the realm of education and work collaboratively to remedy those…

A total of four hypotheses were examined using the following variables: feelings of tension and anxiety before and after watching a video in which a news story covered a student going to a college campus with the intent of harming people, perceived threat while watching the video, perceived threat while watching similar news coverages, the number of hours a day spent consuming news, and participant gender. First, to test the hypothesis that feelings of tension and anxiety will be higher after…

related. To find out exactly how related they were I ran a correlation function. The result was very convincing at 0.695. The high correlation shows a strong relationship between winning games and yards leading to scores percentages. At 48.3%, the coefficient of determination explains for almost half of the win percentage. These results are very convincing and…

GENDER When comparing gender, the connection between conscientiousness and academic performance is fully facilitated by effort. Females have higher levels of conscientiousness and academic performance when compared to males (Berings, De Feyter, Van den Broeck, Brebels, & Proost, 2013). Therefore, females study more in comparison to their male peers and can generally be described as being more organised, disciplined and motivated to achieve. These vital traits of conscientiousness result in high…

Abstract The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between extraversion and self-esteem. A total of seventy-one undergraduate psychology students from a private university were recruited for this study. The participants were asked to fill up two questionnaires in regards to extraversion and self-esteem which were the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The relationship between the two variables was statistically analyzed using the Pearson’s r correlational…

After data collection, the study utilized Pearson’s Correlation Coefficients to measure the collected data and determine the following correlation in support of the hypothesis: there is a positive correlation between poor bison management practices in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, poor elk management practices in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem of Montana, and the spread of brucellosis in both wildlife and livestock during the past two decades; preventing bison from full population…
