Income, Colleges, Universities and Political Engagement
Get PDFPolitical engagement is a cornerstone of America’s democracy. It is important to define and understand the factors that impact political engagement to increase its function. Political scientists have identified factors that influence voting habits globally and within individual countries. Understanding this idea and finding connections in voting patterns allows deeper understanding of the causes that lead to higher rates of political activity within populations. Political scientists have identified which factors are most frequently reported or found as motivators for citizens who are most politically active across the globe. A factor noted as creating younger voters who are politically active as well as more active voters across all demographics is educational attainment.

The Goldberg Paradigm Redux: A Replication on Gender Bias and Achievement
No full textIn the field of psychology, replication is immensely important. As aspiring psychologists, part of our responsibility is to fill in gaps and confirm new discoveries as genuine using this technique. The study we replicated is one that found a peculiar phenomenon: women tend to judge other women less favorably than men when they are attempting to accomplish something, but judge them the same when they have previously accomplished that same thing. Upon replication, we found that there was no statistically significant difference in how men or women judged either gender. Hence, the original study did not replicate successfully.
