Shame versus Guilt: Effects on Voter Mobilization in a Social Media Environment
Full text linkYoung people traditionally have low voter turnout rates compared to their older counterparts. Voter turnout is essential to maintaining the democratic structure of the United States government. Therefore, extensive research has been conducted to find ways to increase voter turnout among young voters. Past research has shown that social pressure and shame can be utilized to increase voter participation. Additionally, Classical Civilization scholars have investigated the motivations of people through guilt and shame. Given the rise of social media use in the United States by young people over time, researchers have been provided with a new tool to encourage voter participation. This study used a survey with Instagram “posts” that conveyed an informational voting message, a shame message, and a guilt message to encourage college aged students to vote. The results were analyzed statistically and while the results of using informational, shame, or guilt-based messages to increase voter propensity were not statistically significant, the study aims to increase research into how social media can be used to increase voter turnout in the United States
Enhancing A Client’s Website Design Through Research on Executive Function Skills: Informed Decision-Making in a Service-Learning Context
Full text linkThis synthesis project explores how research on executive function skills can inform effective website design in a service-learning context. Executive function skills—including working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility—are foundational to learning and development. By conducting a comprehensive literature review and engaging in service-learning through a client-based web design project, the study bridges interdisciplinary knowledge between education and visual communication technology. The project involved redesigning a client’s website focused on supporting individual\u27s executive function skills, enhancing both its usability and search engine optimization. Hands-on, service learning experience supplemented by academic research allowed for the development of practical skills such as time management, organization, and critical thinking and problem solving. Results demonstrate the importance of background research and client understanding in producing effective design solutions. The project also highlights the role of service learning in fostering self-regulation and executive function skills, offering valuable insights for future interdisciplinary and experiential learning initiatives

The Influence of Student Personality Traits on Satisfaction and Success in Online Education in Higher Education: A Systematic Review
No full textOnline learning is a growing area in occupational therapy education. It is important for faculty to use the modality of online learning to understand the influence of student personality traits, defined as relatively stable characteristics that influence thinking and behavior, on student satisfaction and success in graduate level programs. By understanding the influence of personality traits, faculty can better develop online materials that are flexible enough to support individuals who may have a higher risk of low satisfaction and success. There has been plentiful research in the areas of education and psychology assessing the influence of personality on the online learning experience. The goal of this systematic review was to collect, evaluate, and synthesize this literature to provide guidance to faculty working in or developing online courses or programs in occupational therapy. This systematic review was conducted according to the Cochrane Collaboration methodology and reporting is consistent with the PRISMA guidelines. The article search included January 2000 through June 2024. After duplicates were removed 848 articles remained, ultimately 99 were eligible for a full text review, and 23 were included in the three themes which were synthesized based on design and type of online education. The review highlights what is currently known related to the influence of personality type on online education. The information can be used to help sensitize educators to the influence different personality types can have when teaching online courses

Beyond the Label: Unveiling Greenwashing Impacts on Consumer Purchasing in Sunscreen Packaging
Full text linkThe purpose of this research project is to unveil how the use of greenwashing tactics in marketing can influence a consumer’s actions and purchasing behavior in regard to sunscreen product packaging. It aims to uncover whether environmentally charged language or imagery (or both) on a product has an impact on a consumer’s willingness to purchase the product and their perceptions of the product’s health for their body and the environment. Additionally, are certain demographic profiles - considering a consumer’s age, income level or education level - more inclined to have a positive perception of “environmentally-friendly” sunscreen products?
To answer these questions, a survey of 22 questions was conducted to capture consumer thoughts, preferences, and attitudes toward the faux sunscreen product shown to them and their general opinions on sunscreen products. After obtaining these survey results, a statistical analysis was performed to reveal significant relationships among some of the variables tested. These analyses led to recommendations for sunscreen brands for their product packaging. It was discovered that green language matters more to consumers than the imagery on sunscreen packaging. This research shows the impact language has on product packaging and serves as a baseline for future studies on environmental packaging

Games Played in the Off-Season: A Teaching Case Study on Major League Baseball Arbitration and Game Theory
No full textEach January and February, professional baseball players with three to six years of Major League service time endure a process exclusive to Major League Baseball (MLB): arbitration. Though arbitration itself is not an unfamiliar form of dispute resolution, the structure MLB employs in contract arbitration is unlike any other industry, as it incorporates an all-or-nothing result that does not allow arbitrators to “split the pie” between parties. Because of this, teams and players are not only responsible for preparation of their own arguments and filed salary, but also for anticipation of their opponent’s filed salary. The hurdle of needing to predict your opponent’s filed salary means teams and players in arbitration – whether or not they realize it – spend the off-season engaging in a microeconomic concept called Game Theory. This additional challenge changes the way both teams and players approach off-season contract negotiations, both prior to and during arbitration hearings. This paper explores (1) what Game Theory is; (2) how MLB arbitration differs from standard arbitration; (3) how Game Theory fits into the unique structure of MLB arbitration, and; (4) how teams and players can use Game Theory to strengthen the likelihood of a favorable result
