B829: Addison—Its Persistencies and Changes
No full textIn 1947, at the request of the Maine Agricultural Extension Service, personnel of the USDA and Extension Service studied three Maine towns: Addison, in Washington County; Easton, in Aroostook County; and Turner, in Androscoggin County. The purpose of the studies was to determine the factors related to participation in Extension and other community-based activities; results of the research were summarized in Hay et al. (1949). The 1986-89 study of Addison analyzed in this publication is a component of a research project that focuses also on Easton and Turner and Landaff, New Hampshire. The current study is not, per se, a duplication of the earlier research. The two projects employed different research methodologies. In the 1986-1989 series of studies, the author relied on key informants to obtain data related to the structure and functioning of key institutions in the four communities and focused on social change in each of the communities. To obtain the necessary data for each of the major social institutions—economics, education, family, government, religion, and the process of social stratification—the author interviewed residents of the town and personnel of relevant institutions and agencies. During the three-year observation and interviewing process, the author interviewed more than 50 Addison residents. All formal interviews were tape recorded and later transcribed. The author also used town reports, a published history, local documents, and newspapers.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_bulletin/1026/thumbnail.jp
私観JOSEPH ADDISON
No full textApart from our evaluation of him as the father of modern English prose, which is more from a linguistic point of view, few people pay attention nowadays to the literature of Joseph Addison, the foremost of Queen Anne essayists and one of the two outstanding contributors to such essay periodicals as the Tatler and Spectator. Although general interest in his literature has waned recently, I believe that, in specific phases of Addison\u27s prose literature at least, there remain some timeless merits. Also his unmistakable influence on men of letters was felt for over 100 years after his death at the age of 47 in 1719. To attest to these two points is the principal purpose of this thesis. To assist those readers who may be unfamiliar with this Augustan author, I have roughly sketched his life in Chapter I of my treatise. Included in Chapter II is a rather critical view by our Soseki Natsume, who takes Addison to task for paying less attention to the substance of his writing than the style, though, as a matter of fact, the word \u27style\u27 is not to be seen in his commentary. These excerpts from Natsume, I hope, will also help readers figure out what Addison\u27s literature is like. My opinions, which tend to differ from Natsume\u27s, complete this section. In the final chapter (III), I have tried to draw a few elements of Addison\u27s true genius-his unique self-effacing style, his sense of beauty, and his exquisite fictional devices-that came, as a united whole, to pave the way for many generations to come, not necessarily for the development of the traditional genre of the essay, but rather for the promotion and establishment of the new field of modern prose fiction

Navigating Anxiety and Uncertainty: Cultural Adjustment of International Students at ECU
No full textInternational students face unique challenges when transitioning into higher education in the United States. For many, adjusting to life on a new campus brings moments of uncertainty and anxiety, especially when cultural norms, communication styles, and classroom expectations feel unfamiliar. This mixed-methods thesis explores the cultural adjustment experiences of international students at East Carolina University (ECU), focusing on how students navigate perceived cultural distance and manage the emotional and academic pressures that come with studying in a new country. The study is guided by anxiety-uncertainty management (AUM) theory, which explains that people adapt more successfully when they are able to keep their anxiety and uncertainty at manageable levels.
This research combines both survey and interview data to better understand how students experience their adjustment. A survey was distributed to international students at ECU (n = 42) to assess their anxiety, uncertainty, cultural distance, involvement, academic, social, and psychological adjustment. Follow-up interviews with ten students allowed for a deeper look into their day-to-day realities, including the specific challenges students have encountered and how they have managed. The themes from the interviews included managing pre-arrival expectations, navigating American communication styles, adapting to academic power distance, building social connections, and finding personal growth through mindfulness and support systems.
While not all quantitative results were statistically significant, meaningful patterns still emerged. Students who managed anxiety more effectively were also more likely to engage on campus and report stronger psychological adjustment. One of the more unexpected findings was that students who perceived a greater cultural distance sometimes reported stronger academic motivation. The interviews helped explain these trends by highlighting the resilience and determination many students bring with them.
This study highlights the importance of creating support systems that go beyond surface-level help. International students benefit most from resources that feel culturally aware, empathetic, and easy to access. Their stories reflect not only the challenges of adjusting to a new culture but also the strength it takes to grow in the middle of uncertainty. Their experiences serve as a reminder that meaningful connection, involvement, and support can make all the difference
