Delay and Probability Discounting of Gains and Losses in Gambling and Non-Gambling College Students
No full textColor poster with text and graphs describing research conducted by Matthew H. Newquist, advised by Daniel D. Holt.Holt, Green, & Myerson (2003) found college-aged gamblers and non-gamblers to be indistinguishable in terms of delay discounting. This suggests that, with positive outcomes, gamblers and non-gamblers are similar in terms of ability to delay gratification. Holt et al. also found that gamblers discount probabilistic rewards less steeply than non-gamblers. These findings indicate that, with positive outcomes, gamblers are more willing to take risk than non-gamblers. The present study extends the discounting research with gamblers to include losses as an outcome.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Programs

Matthew’s Emmanuel Messiah: a paradigm of presence for god's people
No full textThe motif of divine presence is a clear phenomenon within the Gospel of Matthew. The modern critical means for assessing the ancient biblical text have multiplied to the point, some claim, of disparity. This study employs both narrative and redaction criticism in an attempt to respond authentically to the structural, historical and theological dimensions of Matthew's Gospel. This study begins with the presumption of the wholeness and integrity of Matthew's narrative, and assumes the gospel story to have an inherently dramatic structure which invites readers to inhabit imaginatively its narrative world and respond to its call. But since we are concerned with the role of both reader and author, this study also assumes a text with an historical author and context. The introduction focuses on the meta-critical dilemma facing New Testament students - what is the text and how do we read it? - and seeks some balance in terms of Krieger's analogy of the text as both window and mirror. Proposed is a narrative reading of Matthew's presence motif alongside a redaction critical assessment of it. In Chapter 2 the elements of narrative theory are introduced and relevant terms defined: the structure of narrative, the function of the narrator, points of view. Chapter 3 becomes an exercise in narrative reading, with Matthew's presence motif providing the focus, and the implied reader’s interaction with the story being predominant in interpretation. Characters, rhetorical devices, and points of view are discussed, to understand the motif's development throughout the story's progress. The thrust of Chapter 4 is thereafter to examine divine presence as a dominant motif within Matthew's most important literary context: the Jewish scriptures. Here the primary paradigms of divine presence provided by the Patriarchs, the Sinai experience, and the Davidic-Zion traditions are assessed. Chapter 5 follows with a more detailed examination of the OT "I am with you/God is with us" formula and its µeo' vµwv/ηuwv language, so strongly connected to Matthew's presence motif. Chapters 6-8 build on these investigations with a closer analysis of the three critical "presence passages" of Mt 1:23. 18:20 and 28:20. The passages and their contexts are probed from a redaction critical perspective, guided by the narrative investigation of Chapter 3, and the background from Chapters 4 and 5.The three major "presence passages" examined in Chapters 6-8 are also complimented by a number of secondary issues: worship, wisdom, the Spirit and the poor in Matthew, and their relation to Jesus' divine presence. These are discussed in Chapter 9. Chapter 10 summarizes and looks briefly at some implications. Matthew' presence motif proves to be an important element of the Gospel’s rhetorical design, redactional strategy and Christology. The presence of Jesus, the Emmanuel Messiah, exhibited in his risen authority, becomes the focus of his people's hopes and experiences in the post-Easter world. What the presence of Yahweh was to his people. Jesus now provides in a new paradigm for his people - his followers, the little ones, the poor and the marginalized, from all nations

''Unjustly neglected': reclaiming Victoria Holt as a pioneer of Neo-Victorian fiction
No full textVictoria Holt (a pseudonym of Eleanor Hibbert (1906-1993)), has received very little critical attention and she is not yet accepted as a neo-Victorian author. In order to reclaim her, this thesis investigates her work as a neo-Victorian response to the Victorian era. In addition, it uses her novels to ‘talk back’ to current neo-Victorian criticism. Employing a variety of critical lenses to reflect the varied genres embedded in sensation fiction, the thesis examines Holt’s novels as historical, Gothic, crime and romance fiction in conjunction with analysing them as neo-Victorian sensation fiction. By using selected novels as case studies, it reveals their influential innovations in these genres. Holt’s intertextual use of Victorian fiction also co-articulates matters of socio-political concern, particularly issues relating to the position of women. Examined in the context of second wave feminism and late twentieth-century legislation, her work shows an unrecognised politicised slant which the thesis uses to problematise the perception of her as an author of ‘popular’ fiction.
Holt’s work is especially impactful in relation to the neo-Victorian canon, which is still developing. There is a currently unrecognised convergence between her novels and established neo-Victorian texts including Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea (1966), John Fowles’s The French Lieutenant’s Woman (1969), Beryl Bainbridge’s Master Georgie (1998) and Sarah Waters’s Fingersmith (2002). Reclaiming Holt as an author of neo-Victorian sensation fiction, the thesis contributes to knowledge surrounding the early development of neo-Victorianism, expands the neo-Victorian canon and restores justice to a neglected but important author
The Two Felixes: Narrational Irony and the Questions of Radicalism in Felix Holt and \u27Address to Working Men, by Felix Holt\u27
No full textIn this characterization of Dorothea by the narrator of Middlemarch (1871-2), the \u27Great\u27 Reform Act of 1832 is posited as a dividing line between two phases of history, so distinct as to have separate spheres of interest and judgements of normality. George Eliot flatters her mid-Victorian reader by insinuating that only the \u27modem\u27 mind of their shared present could understand the zeal of a humanistic \u27exalted enthusiasm\u27 that took its source of energy from within. In this passage, therefore, \u27reform\u27 seems to be the key to historical, social and personal change. The issue of reform - of society, of institution and of self - looms equally large in Felix Holt (1866), where it is channelled through a double consciousness. Although Felix Holt describes and discusses the issues attendant on the Reform Act of 1832, Eliot is conscious of evoking in its readers echoes of its later counterpart, what would become the 1867 Reform Act, which was being debated in Parliament while Felix Holt was written and published. The worlds of the novel and of the initial readership are, therefore, bracketed and deeply embedded in a culture of reform.
I argue that Eliot\u27s stance on reform in Felix Holt, so often equated with Matthew Arnold\u27s, has been oversimplified due to a questionable elision of the author with her eponymous hero, and of two distinct embodiments of \u27Felix Holt\u27 in two different publications. In part because of the profusion of apparently authoritative pearls of wisdom scattered through her texts, it is all too easy to elide \u27George Eliot\u27, himself an authorial construct, with the sentiments expressed in his/her novels. I argue that Eliot\u27s extensive use of free indirect discourse, irony, and the double time-frame, makes this a futile and limiting task. In these multiple contexts, Felix Holt and its paratext \u27Address to Working Men, by Felix Holt\u27 (1867), which have often been dismissed as narrowly conservative, emerge as notably dynamic and polyphonic texts
