Jongerentaal in advertenties, en de invloed op merkattitude en aankoopintentie bij jongvolwassen consumenten.
No full textDeze studie onderzocht of jongerentaal in advertenties de merkattitude en aankoopintentie beïnvloedt bij jongvolwassenen (18–25 jaar), in relatie tot productalignement. In een experiment (N = 171) kregen deelnemers een Instagram-advertentie te zien voor een product met hoog (streamingdienst) of laag (tuinmagazine) alignement, met of zonder jongerentaal.
De resultaten toonden enkel een significant effect van productalignement: producten met hoog alignement scoorden hoger op attitude en aankoopintentie. Jongerentaal had geen effect, ook niet in combinatie met productalignement.
Dit suggereert dat productrelevantie de doorslag geeft voor de effectiviteit van advertenties, terwijl jongerentaal geen invloed heeft op houding of koopintentie
The Impact of LLM-Generated Disaster Explanations on the Perceived Reliability and Clarity of Crisis News.
No full textIn times of crisis, clear and trustworthy communication is crucia;. With the rise of Large Language Models (LLM) like ChatGPT, it is increasingly relevant to assess whether AI-generated explanations (rationales) for crisis-related news are perceived reliability and clarity of human- versus LLM-generated rationales of crisis tweets.
A total of 114 participants were randomly assigned to read either a human- or an LLM-generated rationale. They rated the clarity and reliability of the rationale they read. An indepent samples t-test revealed no significant differences in perceived reliability or clarity between the two conditions. Human-generated rationales (M - 13.7) and LLM-generated rationales (M = 14.1) were rated similarly, as were clarity scores (human: M = 9.9; LLM: M= 9.6).
A significant positive correlation (r = .63, p <.001) suggests that more reliable rationales were also perceived as clearer
Framing Migrants: How two middle-sized Dutch cities frame highly skilled and undocumented migrants in housing and employment policies, and how NGOs act within that policy space
No full textThis thesis examines how Dutch municipalities navigate the simultaneous presence of highly-skilled and undocumented migrants, and how this dual dynamic shapes housing and employment policy as well as NGO influence. It asks how these groups are framed in municipal policy, and what opportunities this creates for NGO policy engagement. Theoretically, this research draws on framing (and its ties to securitization, othering, and polarization), the Advocacy Coalition Framework, and scholarship on national-local migration governance, gentrification, brain gain and deskilling. Methodologically, it employs a qualitative embedded case study design combining discourse/framing analysis of municipal documents of the municipalities Eindhoven and Tilburg, along with interviews. Findings reveal a two-track approach: highly-skilled migrants are explicitly welcomed as knowledge-economy assets with reciprocal integration efforts, while support for undocumented migrants is more implicit and reciprocal, tied to future prospects and public order. This division extends across housing and employment, as municipalities fill national gaps and pragmatically coordinate, continuing parts of the LVV cooperation informally with NGOs. NGOs act as brokers and agenda-setters, but their leverage remains contingent on coalitions and national frameworks. Normatively, this research warns against dignity becoming conditional on utility and notes risks of human-capital loss. It shows how (re)framing structures urban outcomes and opens space for co-production, and recommends stronger municipal coordination, and NGO coalition-building and counter-framing.

Shaping attitudes towards mental illness: How type and source of a meme influence attitudes towards anxiety.
No full textDeze thesis onderzocht of het gebruik van memes effectief is voor het verminderen van negatieve houdingen tegenover mensen met angststoornissen (anxiety). Het effect van de memes werd onderzocht aan de hand van twee factoren: een informatieve meme vs. een humoristische meme in combinatie met een bron van een expert of een non-expert. Alle deelnemers werden blootgesteld aan één meme en werden daarna gevraagd in hoeverre zij het eens waren met negatieve stellingen over mensen met angststoornissen. Er werd een two-way ANOVA uitgevoerd waaruit geen significante resultaten gevonden werden voor de twee hoofdeffecten: het type meme (informatief vs. humoristisch) en het type bron (expert vs. non-expert). Ook werd er geen significante interactie gevonden tussen de twee factoren. Deze bevindingen geven aan dat het gebruik van memes, ongeacht de bron of type, mogelijk geen effectieve strategie is om negatieve houdingen ten opzichte van mensen met angststoornissen te verminderen
De invloed van woningnood op de woonvoorkeuren en -keuzes van jongeren uit West-Brabant
No full textIn deze bachelorscriptie wordt onderzocht hoe het fenomeen woningnood de woonvoorkeuren en -keuzes van jongeren in West-Brabant beïnvloedt. Jongeren vormen een kwetsbare groep op de woningmarkt: zij beschikken vaak nog niet over voldoende financiële middelen of sociaal kapitaal om zelfstandig een woning te bemachtigen. In West-Brabant, waar steden als Roosendaal en Bergen op Zoom al jaren kampen met een tekort aan starterswoningen, wordt dit probleem extra zichtbaar.
Het onderzoek is uitgevoerd via kwalitatieve, semigestructureerde interviews met negen jongeren tussen de 18 en 28 jaar. Hieruit blijkt dat jongeren zich sterk bewust zijn van de woningcrisis en deze ervaren als een persoonlijke belemmering. Zij stuiten op hoge prijzen, een gebrek aan passend aanbod en lange wachtlijsten. Dit leidt tot uitstel van belangrijke levensfases, zoals zelfstandig wonen of samenwonen, en zorgt voor gevoelens van frustratie en ongelijkheid ten opzichte van oudere generaties.
Hoewel jongeren duidelijke voorkeuren hebben worden hun keuzes sterk beperkt door de woningnood. De mate waarin hun voorkeuren veranderen, hangt af van hun ervaring op de woningmarkt. De scriptie benadrukt de noodzaak van gericht beleid om betaalbare starterswoningen te realiseren en jongeren actiever te betrekken bij woonbeleid
Enhancing Employee Satisfaction and Strengthening Workplace Relationships through Feedback Sharing: Employee Perspectives in Eldercare
No full textAs organizations move away from traditional annual performance reviews, alternative feedback mechanisms are gaining prominence. While feedback is typically aimed at improving performance, its role in enhancing employee satisfaction and workplace relationships remains underexplored. This study investigates what feedback-sharing characteristics employees in a medium-sized Dutch eldercare organization consider most effective for boosting satisfaction and strengthening relationships with colleagues and supervisors. Data were collected through a vignette-based survey and a supplemental interview with the works council.
Findings reveal a preference for frequent, informal, and constructive feedback over formal, rigid systems. Employees value real-time responses, engaged supervisors, and a psychologically safe environment that promotes open dialogue and curbs workplace gossip. Opinions on mandatory feedback are mixed—some appreciate its inclusivity, while others favor voluntary participation. Anonymous feedback is generally rejected due to associations with distrust and miscommunication. Supervisor visibility and approachability are seen as vital to improving relationships and satisfaction.
The results offer practical insights for the organization and others in the eldercare sector aiming to enhance feedback practices. A supportive, inclusive feedback culture where employees feel heard and respected is essential not only for satisfaction, but also for overall workplace harmony. This study highlights the social dimensions of feedback beyond performance improvement
Listening to the spiritual? A case-study and descriptive analysis of contemplative listening in practice as a method of spiritual care
No full textThis thesis has as its main research question: To what extent and under what conditions does listening, in the case of contemplative listening, contribute to the clarification of spirituality? Presently, formulation of clear descriptions of unique spiritual care interventions is lacking in both the study of spiritual care and its profession. What, for example, qualifies listening as a spiritual intervention? This thesis is an empirical descriptive analysis in the form of a case-study that analyzes seven recorded and transcribed contemplative listening sessions. It does so through both a theoretical framework of listening and listening skills, and of spiritual themes and spiritual perspectives. It analyzes the listening skills used in these sessions by the listener, the spiritual themes spoken about by the speaker/respondent, and from what spiritual perspectives – and their relation. Contemplative listening was found to – under certain conditions and by using particular listening skills – contribute to the explication of spirituality
" Defining sustainability as an obstacle and first step A comparative discourse analysis of interpretations of sustainability across academic disciplines in higher education"
No full textTo achieve effective sustainability education, the primary challenges of defining and contest surrounding sustainability has to be addressed. This research examines how varying interpretations of sustainability are presented across academic disciplines at the Radboud University and how they affect curricula and sustainability education. For the research a discourse analysis is conducted through coding that utilises Dobson’s (1996) framework on sustainability perceptions and Snow & Benford's (1988) theory on framing. By conducting this analysis, an overview of the comprehensiveness and its effect on curricula is obtained. Simultaneously the challenge of defining sustainability and the obstacle of contest surrounding the term sustainability is addressed.
This research indicates that half of the faculties provide comprehensive sustainability education and one half not. With the interpretation of sustainability as an environmental issue with a focus on anthropocentric interest being predominantly presented in the education across all bachelor programs and faculties. This research also concludes that the Radboud University’s sustainability education is, besides rather limited in the comprehensiveness, also limited in the amount of sustainability education provided. The limited sustainability education that is provided, is for the majority compulsory. Through this examination of the curricula, challenges and opportunities are identified for improving the sustainability education
