\u27What the Suffering was Like\u27: Digital Affect in the ACT UP Oral History Project
Get PDFThis article considers The ACT UP Oral History Project as an affective site that renders visible the impact of loss and suffering. Focusing on the archive’s filmic and computer-mediated interviews, and placing both in conversation with memory and queer identity studies, I demonstrate that the Oral History Project, as a discursive space, invites its audience into a felt physical contact with grief, loss, anger, and rage
Emotion regulation strategies and perceived emotional intelligence: The effect of age.
Get PDFThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived emotional intelligence and the reported use of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. We also investigated the possible effects of age on the aforementioned variables. The total sample consisted of 379 people (158 men, 220 women, 1 unreported). Across participants, 273 were young (20-39 years old) and 106 were middle-aged (40-65 years old). We found statistically significant positive correlations between the dimensions of perceived emotional intelligence and the reported use of cognitive reappraisal and negative primarily correlations between the dimensions of perceived emotional intelligence and the reported use of expressive suppression. Age was not only an important factor in differentiating perceived emotional intelligence and emotion regulation strategies but also in some cases a moderator of their linear relationship. Implications for counseling professionals and future research directions are included
Abstract
No full textAbstract
This literature review examines the biological and environmental risk factors in the etiology of schizophrenia. One study in schizophrenia is that biological factors can be the reason why one could develop the disorder. A second study is the dopamine hypothesis which states the elevated levels of the brain chemical dopamine can contribute to the development of schizophrenia. Based on the findings it shows that genetic and also prenatal factors can arise to a disadvantage of the brain. Genetic predispositions and obstetrical complications may contribute to the development of schizophrenia. Environmentally, exposure to stressful events can also trigger irrational behavior and thinking in the brain as well. In the diathesis-stress model it describes the heightened cortisol releasing the potential to intensify schizophrenia symptoms while augmenting dopamine activity in the environment. More recent findings show that genetics influences act in cohesion with environmental factors. Not only does one genetic finding impact the brain, but the other can also impact it. Based upon findings; genetics, prenatal and postnatal factors, brain abnormalities, and environment all have an impact on schizophrenia. Further research should focus on how biological and environmental factors impact the etiology of schizophrenia to aid in better understanding of the illness’s development
The Haunting of Laius

Reframing West Virginia: The Photography of Okey DeRaimo
No full text“Reframing West Virginia” is a poetry project focused on envisioning authentic and positive West Virginian narratives. Based off of the photography of Okey DeRaimo, the collection of poems focuses on the day-to-day life of a coal community in the 1950s and 60s, aiming to break down negative stereotypes surrounding West Virginia and coal counties. With the photographs serving as historical grounding, the poetry explores the narratives and voices of the everyday West Virginian living during this time, highlighting the simplicity of the human experience that everyone can recognize. Through the use of DeRaimo’s photography, a conversation has been created between two people aiming to accurately portray their state through two different forms of media
Audience Perceptions of Social Media\u27s Ability to Solve Cold Case Investigations
Get PDFPublic interest in crime has existed throughout time. Media uses crime stories’ popularity to create entertainment and fuel ratings. These programs have also helped solve cold cases. The true crime genre is also popular on social media, but research has not examined how these true crime platforms assist in solving crime cases—specifically cold cases. An online survey consisting of three parts will help in understanding how audiences perceive the role of social media and the ability to solve cold cases.
This study will seek to explain how the information found on social media, through podcasts, forums and audience engagement, contains information useful to the cases. The usefulness of such information has already been understood for use in such ways as Amber Alerts, Silver Alerts and traffic alerts by law enforcement.
The data for this study will be collected via an online survey. The survey will contain three parts- 1) what social media the participant uses & if they use it for true crime content, 2) if they believe that social media can help solve crime, and 3) their motivations for listening/reading true crime content found on social media. The survey platform will be Qualtrics
Language Learning
No full textAbstract
The Purpose of the Research:
This study is aimed to assess whether or not learning English online helps students overcome communication apprehension often felt when learning a new language. As communication apprehension can play a significant role when learning a new language, this study assesses how online learning may be more beneficial than regular in classroom studies.
The Scientific or Scholarly Rationale:
Communication apprehension is the anxiety associated with oral communication and the ability to speak and listen, in this case while learning a new language. Anxiety can come across when the student has difficulties speaking with other students or groups. Students often exhibit avoidance behaviors in an attempt to deal with their communication apprehension (MacIntyre and Charos, 1996). When students avoid speaking in the foreign language, they may not learn the language effectively which would hinder their success. Students who feel overly anxious or apprehensive may not fully participate which has been shown to negatively impact their success (Cheng, Horwitz & Schallert, 1999). Therefore, educators must consider strategies and learning tools to help students overcome these avoidance behaviors. Online learning may be a way for students to practice and enhance their language learning while minimizing their communication apprehension.
The Procedures to be Performed:
This qualitative study will collect interview data. International students will be asked to participate in an interview following an interview protocol (See below). The study will measure the participants demographics, their amount of time spent learning English online, and their communication apprehension in their online English courses.
Interview Questions for Participants: What are some of the activities that you remember from your English courses? Why do you think you remember them? Have you ever felt nervous about communication in an English course? If so what made you feel nervous? What are some ways that an online course increases or decreases your anxiety in learning and speaking English? How do you think an online course influences the relationship between yourself and your peers? How do you think an online course influences the relationship between yourself and your teacher?
The Risks and Potential Benefits of the Research:
There are no risks for participants.
Complete Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria (may be submitted separately if extensive):
Students over the age of 18 who have taken an online course for ELL will be recruited for this study. Participants will be recruited using Facebook and other social media platforms. Participants will need to be at least 18 years old, a non-native speaker of English, and have participated in at least one type of ELL course with an instructor online
