Belonging, fear of rejection, and self-concealment
No full textFeelings of belonging, or a lack thereof, can have important effects on how an individual behaves in social situations. In the context of social institutions, lack of belonging may increase an individual's likeliness to conceal their true beliefs and attitudes. We hypothesized that fear of rejection would provide a pathway linking lack of belonging and self-concealment. We gathered data by recruiting a convenience sample of university student participants via the Sona system at a mid-sized southwestern university. Findings from 108 participants (Mage = 19.8 years) revealed a positive correlation between lack of belonging and self-concealment that can be explained by fear of rejection. These findings suggest the need for creating a method to improve sense of belonging, which may reduce self-concealment and in turn improve psychological and social well being among university students as well as the general population

Song dialects of the Mountain Chickadee (Poecile gambeli) in the sky islands of New Mexico
No full textFor many species of passerine bird, young males acquire their song during a sensitive period when they learn songs from their paternal parents or nearby neighbors. Since young birds are most likely to learn their songs from nearby singers, regional song dialects may form. The mountain chickadees (Poecile gambeli) in the mountain ranges of Trans Pecos Texas and southeastern New Mexico are an excellent subject to study this phenomenon due to their resident status and isolation on forested mountain peaks surrounded by desert lowlands. In this study, I hypothesized that localized song dialects exist amongst the isolated mountain chickadee populations within this sky island system, that song differentiation between populations increases with geographic distance, and that song diversity is positively correlated to habitat patch size. Samples from 54 Mountain chickadees recorded in 2023 in the Sacramento and White Mountains, Gallinas Mountains, and Manzano Mountains exhibit differences in the predominant song types and song characteristics across each sky island. Chickadees in the Sacramento, White, and Gallinas Mountains deliver songs consisting of three long notes, while those in the Manzano Mountains deliver songs with two brief notes followed by a long note, another brief note, and another long note. A quadratic discriminant analysis, permutational MANOVA, and Mantel test of song and note characteristics support the hypothesis that mountain chickadees exhibit geographic song variation between these locations, while Jaccard indexes of song similarity indicated that neighboring populations share more song types than distant ones. However, more data is needed from other sky island chickadee populations to determine a relationship between patch size and song diversity

She served overseas in England during World War II, working with wounded soldiers in ambulatory care. She tells a few anecdotes about the soldiers that she was working with or that she interacted with in England. She was thankful that she wasn’t assigned to the psychiatric wards or intensive care. She left the service when she got married to Bob Hand from Baytown, Texas. She worked in the OB department at St Joseph’s Hospital in Bryan, Texas, and delivered babies during the baby boom.
