Ask and you shall receive? Right-wing authoritarianism shapes reactions to religious accommodation requests at work
(Elsevier, 2017-01)Religious accommodation in the workplace remains a contentious issue in the United States. We conducted an experiment to examine how individual differences in right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) shape how people react to ... -
Assessing the effect of salinity on barnacle adhesion and biomineralization
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2015)Barnacles are dominant members of marine biofouling communities throughout much of the world’s oceans. The base of the barnacle attaches to surfaces with secreted proteinaceous adhesives that bond with surfaces and cure. ... -
The balanced ideological antipathy model: explaining the effects of ideological attitudes on inter-group antipathy across the political spectrum
(Sage Publications, 2015)We introduce the balanced ideological antipathy (BIA) model, which challenges assumptions that right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) predict inter-group antipathy per se. Rather, the ... -
Bleeding-heart liberals and hard-hearted conservatives: subtle political dehumanization through differential attributions of human nature and human uniqueness traits
(PsychOpen, 2013)This research demonstrated that human nature (HN) and human uniqueness (HU) traits capture the content of Americans’ stereotypes about liberals and conservatives, respectively. Consistent with expectations derived from ... -
CAFE: A Collaboration and Facilitation Environment for Engaging Students in Computer Science
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2009) -
Characterizing key proteins that contribute to barnacle adhesion
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2015)Barnacles can tenaciously adhere to almost any surface. To stick to a surface, glues are released and form an adhesive bond between the surface and the barnacle's base plate. The predomi-nantly proteinaceous glue is ... -
Cleaning our world through reverse graffiti
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)We have come to the realization that the earth is not invincible; we must preserve our habitat for it to remain hospitable. So how can we, as teachers, educate future generations about specifi c environmental ... -
Computational tools and algorithms for designing customized synthetic genes
(Frontiers Media, 2014)Advances in DNA synthesis have enabled the construction of artificial genes, gene circuits, and genomes of bacterial scale. Freedom in de novo design of synthetic constructs provides significant power in studying the impact ... -
Cultural transmission and the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo
(University of Delaware, 2015)Scholars have studied how social movements shape cultural practices, but few have examined the impact of activists as cultural symbols. This paper examines the continued relevance of Argentina's Madres de Plaza de Mayo by ... -
Defying reality: performing reimagined worlds
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)How can we challenge students to reimagine their world(s) through performance art? As art educators, many of us are concerned with exposing our students to contemporary artmaking practices. We ... -
Detrimental relations of maximization with academic and career attitudes
(Sage Publications, 2013)Maximization refers to a decision-making style that involves seeking the single best option when making a choice, which is generally dysfunctional because people are limited in their ability to rationally evaluate all ... -
Does the isolation effect require attention?
(Springer Verlag, 2016)An item that differs from the surrounding items is remembered better than an item that is consistent with its surroundings; this is known as the von Restorff effect or isolation effect (von Restorff, Psychologische Forschung, ... -
Does working memory change with age? The interactions of concurrent articulation with the effects of word length and acoustic confusion
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)The effects of acoustic confusion (phonological similarity), word length, and concurrent articulation (articulatory suppression) are cited as support for Working Memory's phonological loop component (e.g., Baddeley, 2000 ... -
The effect of cement viscosity in total knee arthroplasty
(2012)Aseptic loosening of the tibial implant remains one of the major reasons of failure in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Currently, there is no consensus on the role that cement viscosity at the time of application to the ... -
The Effect of Hydrophobic Alkyl Silane Self-Assembled Monolayers on Adult Barnacle Adhesion
(Marine Technology Society, 2017)Although there exists a wide range of nonbiocidal and environmentally friendly surface coatings to reduce biofouling on marine structures, there is still not a fundamental understanding of barnacle adhesion upon reattachment. ... -
The effects of rest interval length manipulation of the first upper-body resistance exercise in sequence on acute performance of subsequent exercises in men and women
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2012)The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of manipulating rest interval (RI) length of the first upper-body exercise in sequence on subsequent resistance exercise performance. Twenty-two men and women ... -
The effects of rest interval length on acute bench press performance: the influence of gender and muscle strength
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2012)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of rest interval (RI) length on bench press performance in subjects with disparity in maximum strength. Two cohorts of subjects performed 3 bench press protocols in ...
