Taking the 30,000-Foot View: Seeing What You\u27ve Written
No full textIn thinking about a topic for this column, I took a moment to look back over what I\u27ve covered since I started writing for The Advocate. I saw a huge range of topics-- word choice to punctuation to parts of speech to document design. I\u27ve even covered proofing techniques. I saw one huge hole, however. I\u27ve never written about how to edit to ensure your legal writing is complete. So for this month I\u27ll explore a little bit of why self-editing is so difficult, followed by some discrete tasks each legal writer can use to ensure that a document is complete. [excerpt
Coaching Behavior and the Development of Social Physique Anxiety
No full textIn this research, I examined the relationship between coaching behaviors and the development of social physique anxiety in adolescent female athletes. In the past, researchers have found links between coaching styles and the behavior and thought processes of athletes, but no research has been conducted regarding the effects of coaching behavior on the development of social physique anxiety in athletes, male or female. The results of this research have the potential to benefit the athletic community by providing them with more information regarding the mental health of athletes. This was an ex post facto correlational study. Each participant completed two surveys: The Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS) and the Coaching Behavior Scale for Sport (CBS-S). The data were analyzed using a one-tailed bivariate correlational analysis. There was no statistically significant correlation found between levels of SPA and general previous coaching behaviors experienced (r= -0.24, p= 0.07). However, there was a statistically significant correlation of -0.30 (p= 0.03) between levels of SPA and the Competition Strategies construct of the CBS-S
Effects of Exercise on Anger and Aggressive Tendencies
No full textEvidence has been shown that anger can affect one’s life in various ways that can cause distress for an individual. It is important for individuals who struggle with these issues to learn how to cope with them in a healthy and motivating way. Exercise has been shown to be an effective coping mechanism for many individuals struggling with mental and physical illnesses, and the use of exercise as a possible way to manage anger could be a positive intervention for those with anger and aggressive tendencies. The literature for exercise being actively used as an intervention for anger and aggression is minimal. In the study I conducted, participants completed a survey that was distributed through social media. The data from the survey separated the participants into three exercise groups (low, moderate, or high), and the average rating from the Buss Perry Questionnaire produced an anger score. The effect of the amount of hours of exercise per week on one’s anger score was not significant F(2, 79) = 0.34, p = 0.71. Although the results did not show significant evidence that supported a correlation between exercise levels and anger levels, the results showed slight evidence between the groups that those who exercised more tended to have to be less prone to anger and aggressive tendencies
