    Identifying as author: exploring the pedagogical basis for assisting diverse students to discover their identities through creatively defined literacy narratives

    This thesis explores the current discourse surrounding the redefinition of concepts such as text and authorship in the field of composition studies. Drawing from scholarship on topics ranging from multi-modal composition to feminist historical-appropriation, the author builds a case for redefining these concepts to include a broader range of texts and author-voices from which instructors can draw for course readings. By focusing on the particular instance of selecting readings to teach a literacy narrative unit in a first year college composition course, the author shows how redefining and broadening concepts of text and authorship may allow for students to more easily identify with a literary heritage and identify themselves as authors whose literacy-related experiences have something significant to add to the academic conversation. The chapters present a review of literature, introduce methods and processes for teaching a literacy narrative unit in a freshman composition course, offer the reflections of the instructor on teaching the literacy narrative, and justify a process of selecting texts which aren\u27t necessarily identified as literacy narratives as models for student literacy narratives --Leaf iv

    Going all in : a terror management perspective on risk-taking and gambling

    No full text
    Terror management theory (TMT) posits that the acquisition of resources buffers the anxiety caused by knowledge of one’s own mortality. The decision to take a risk involves weighing the perceived reward against the possible punishment. Accordingly, previous investigations into the connection between risky behavior and TMT have shown that reminders of mortality increase peoples’ willingness to take risks when there is a sufficient incentive for taking the risk. However, psychologists often look at how personality correlates to risk-taking, such that those with self-esteem are more likely to take on risks under a mortality salience condition due to the fact that they have enough resources to deal with possible failure, whereas those with low self-esteem show the opposite effect. But what if mortality salience simply increases the desire to succeed or chase some pleasurable outcome? Similarly, what if the risky behavior itself acts as a buffer against death-anxiety? In this sense, the desire to accumulate wealth and succeed may be more important in buffering death-anxiety regardless of personality differences. The current study looked to combine TMT and risk-taking theories in order to look at the connection between mortality salience and preference to take risks in a gambling situation. The author of the present study used the Iowa Gambling Task to test differences in risk-taking behavior among those who are reminded of mortality versus those who aren’t. The author hypothesized and his data supported the theory that mortality salience led to a greater preference for the riskier decks of cards on the IGT compared to controls. As hypothesized, self-esteem did not mediate the effects of mortality salience such that both high and low self-esteem groups took more risks in the mortality salience condition. Implications for the understanding of TMT, risk-taking, and the role of self-esteem in certain situations are discussed
