CORPOREAL ANXIETY: THE VISUAL ARGUMENTATION OF RECENT ANTI-TOBACCO ADVERTISEMENTS
Justice, Jacob William
Bricker, Brett
Rowland, Robert C
Tobacco usage is the leading contributor to preventable death in the United States, yet maintains a strong appeal to many demographics, due to decades of massive advertising expenditures from the tobacco industry and the ubiquitous presence of cigarettes in American culture. Two of the latest developments in the federal government’s effort to stem tobacco-related death are the Tips from Former Smokers and The Real Cost counter-advertising campaigns. This thesis documents the rhetorical trajectory of cigarette discourse in the United States, explaining how past cigarette advertising and anti-smoking campaigns have exerted influence on the messaging strategies of Tips from Former Smokers and The Real Cost. This thesis also offers an explanation for the successes and failures of these campaigns, emphasizing the role of visual argument and bodily rhetoric in producing persuasion. An analysis of more than a dozen anti-smoking messages from these campaigns reveals that visual arguments can serve a dialogical function and that the associations between desirable features and cigarettes created by past tobacco industry advertising remain potent. This thesis concludes by offering recommendations for future anti-smoking messaging campaigns.

Contact, Disclosure, Stereotypes, and Attitudes Toward People with Physical Disabilities: The Mediator Effects of Intergroup Anxiety and Social Support
Byrd, Gabrielle A.
Zhang, Yan Bing
Guided by intergroup contact theory (Allport, 1954; Pettigrew, 1998), the current study examined the influences of perceptions of individuals without disabilities (N = 189) regarding their communication experiences with the most frequent contact with an invisible physical disability on willingness to communicate with, stereotypes, and attitudes toward people with physical disabilities as a group. In addition, the current study tested the mediator effects of social support (Hypothesized Model 1) and intergroup communication anxiety (Hypothesized Model 2). Using Hayes’ (2013) PROCESS for SPSS, mediation analysis of model 1 showed that spontaneous and protective disclosure, communication frequency and quality all had a significant indirect effect through social support on willingness to interact, intergroup attitudes, and endorsement of stereotypes toward people with disabilities. Testing of the second model revealed that intergroup communication anxiety was a significant mediator between communication quality and all dependent measures. In both models, spontaneous disclosure and communication quality had a significant positive direct association with willingness to interact and a negative association with stereotypes, respectively. Furthermore, results revealed that communication quality had a significant positive direct effect on willingness to communicate in model 1 and communication frequency had a significant positive direct effect on both affective and behavioral attitudes in model 2. In addition to contact frequency and quality, this study is unique in terms of including communicative measures of contact and social support as a positive mediator in examining intergroup perceptions. Implications of the findings are discussed with respect to prior literature on interability communication (i.e., disability as an intergroup marker), and intergroup contact theory.

Balancing the Scale of Rationality: The Public Memory of the Boston Tea Party and the Transformation of Dissent
Neville-Shepard, Meredith Diane
Tell, Dave
This study examines the public memory of the Boston Tea Party as it has been appropriated for political purposes throughout history. First, I examine the Boston Tea Party to show that the rhetoric surrounding this protest created a tradition of American dissent in which dissenters created a balance between the rational and the irrational. Next, I analyze how woman suffragists participated in the centennial celebration of the Boston Tea Party in 1873 by planning protests that evoked the message of the Boston Tea Party. I illustrate that the rhetoric relevant to these events carried on the tradition of dissent established one hundred years earlier as these women balanced assertions of irrationality with rational argument. Finally, I analyze the Modern Tea Party Movement and conclude that their movement has been overwhelmed by irrationality. Thus, they have transfigured the tradition of Tea Party dissent in America.

Japanese College Students' Exposure to Sexually Explicit Internet Material (SEIM) and Sexual Attitudes
Taguchi, Kikuko
Zhang, Yan Bing
This study examined Japanese college students' (N=476) use of sexually explicit material in mass media (i.e., print, electronic, and the Internet) and its association with their sexually permissive attitudes and perceptions of women. Results indicated that Japanese college students were most exposed to sexually explicit material in the print media followed by the Internet and the electronic media. In addition, participants' exposure to sexually explicit Internet material (SEIM) was a stronger predictor of their sexually permissive attitudes than their exposures to sexually explicit material in the traditional media (i.e., print and electronic media) However, participants' exposures to sexually explicit material in the traditional media were stronger predictors of Japanese college students' perceptions of women than their exposure to SEIM. Furthermore, sexual interest mediated the relationship between exposure to sexually explicit material on the internet and perceptions of women. Results are discussed in light of cultivation theory, the uses and gratifications perspective, and prior literature in the use of sexually explicit material and its associations with sexually permissive attitudes and perceptions of women.

SWEET LITTLE LIES: DECEPTION IN ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS
Guthrie, Jennifer Ann
Kunkel, Adrianne
Undoubtedly, deception plays a complex role in romantic relationships. This study examines the use of deception in romantic relationships by utilizing 67 participants' responses to qualitative methodology whereby participants recorded their use of deception and the motives to use deception as these speech patterns occurred within their romantic relationships. This study sought to gain a richer understanding of the extent deception is used in the relationship, common topics of deceptive messages, common motives for deceiving romantic partners, and how the use of deception functions in romantic relationships. Results exemplified the complex and sometimes contradictory nature of deception in romantic relationships as participants reported it can function in both positive and negative ways.

"We Have Work to Do, and We're Doing It:" An Analysis of Roger Goodell's Rhetoric During the NFL's Ongoing Concussion Crisis
Turk, Amanda
Childers, Jay
Throughout Roger Goodell's term as commissioner, the National Football League (NFL) had to address the long-term health issues caused by head injury, which damaged their organizational image and caused an ongoing crisis. Using Coombs’ research on organizational crises (2015) and Benoit’s image repair theory (1995, 1997), I argue Goodell and the NFL used multiple strategies to attempt to repair the League’s image for their audiences. Indeed, a closer look at texts used by Goodell and the NFL during his first decade as commissioner revealed three distinct stages of crisis repair between 2007 and 2016, all of which were unsuccessful because of a failure to address one primary audience—former NFL players. Using rhetorical criticism of the NFL”s crisis discourse, I argue that Goodell’s repeated missteps led to an evolving organizational dilemma that can best be understood as a compounding crisis.

Fahrenheit 9/11: A Case Study in Counternarrative
Samuels, Phillip Dewayne
Manolescu, Beth I
This thesis does a rhetorical analysis of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 to understand its failure to achieve its goal of a George W. Bush defeat in the 2004 election. To do this I outline a theory of counternarrative which relies on argument theory to understand the resolution of competing narratives. I begin by creating a nuanced theory of counternarrative which relies on informal logic and Ralph Johnson's dialectical tier. Then I look at the construction of Bush's official narrative from his public speeches beginning on September 20, 2001 through the invasion of Iraq. After detailing Bush's narrative I analyze the moments of argumentative clash between it and Fahrenheit 9/11. I conclude that the failure of Moore's counternarrative was inevitable due to its poor argument construction and omission of the dialectical tier.

Organizational Identification and Volunteer Workers: A Study of Red Cross Disaster Volunteers
Wolf, Nan M.
Russo, Tracy
Abstract This study sought to identify factors that attract unpaid volunteers and influence them to continue in service as Red Cross disaster relief workers. An evaluation of current literature focusing on the relationship between organizational identification, its expression as commitment, and satisfaction with the job pointed to the development of six research questions. Based on a modified version of the OIQ, research questions centered on how competing identities and interpersonal relationships with co-workers influence commitment and identification. In addition, a series of open-ended questions provided volunteers the opportunity to express their personal feelings about the organization. Results showed that the high levels of identification and commitment among this group of volunteers was not influenced by their employment status or involvement with other voluntary organizations. Emerging from the data as important factors in volunteers' decision to stay with the organization was the importance of relationships with fellow disaster workers and paid staff as well as a strong emotional attachment to the history and mission of the Red Cross.

The Effects of the Four-Step Problem-Solving Model on Algebra I Students' Mathematical Achievement and Opinions
Cruce, Marae Michelle
Gay, Susan
This study investigated the effects of experiences with a specific problem-solving model on students' ability to solve multi-step word problems and students' beliefs about problem solving. Algebra I students completed a test of the same 16 free response word problems and a beliefs survey before and two months after learning and using the problem-solving strategy. The overall and subscore means for the word problems post-test were higher than the pre-test means; the difference was statistically significant. Results showed that students' abilities to approach word problems improved; the data showed that the number of problems that scored two or less points on the four-point, grading rubric decreased. A Likert scale was used to gather quantitative data about four beliefs. The mean scores on the post-survey were equal to or slightly higher but not statistically significant. Responses to open-ended items on the post-survey indicated that students found the problem-solving strategy useful.

Political Socialization: The Political Messages in Televised News and the Effect on Young Adults
Mackey, Justin
Banwart, Mary C.
This study is designed to examine how young adults are socialized through media outlets and how knowledgeable and cynical they are towards these media outlets. Survey research is used in order to answer four research questions pertaining to the amount of television young adults consume, their political knowledge, political cynicism, and bias towards the media. In order to examine these variables, young adults news viewing patterns were analyzed with the listed variables. The cohort group consisted of 397 subjects between the ages of 18 and 24 who were enrolled in classes at a mid sized university in the Midwestern United States. The survey was constructed using measures designed for use in previous research and some were adapted to fit this study. In order to answer the four research questions, a series of statistical tests were conducted. This research yields three key findings. The first key finding is viewers of Fox News are less knowledgeable than viewers of any other cable network. Along with this, Fox News viewers are also the least cynical viewers among cable news networks. The third key finding showed that Democrats perceived more bias in the media than Republicans.

Fallout fans: Negotiations over text integrity in the age of the active audience
Milner, Ryan M.
Baym, Nancy
This study investigated how fans and producers of media texts negotiate text integrity, which is defined as an ideal about the validity, wholeness, and truth of the text. An evaluation of previous research in fan studies revealed four essential issues underlying fan-producer interaction. These four issues led to the study's four research questions, which centered on fan perceptions of ownership of a text, construction of status-relationship between fans and producers, construction of status-relationship among fans, and how fans envisioned their labor contribution to the game development process. Research questions were addressed using a discourse analysis of the forum interactions of fans of the digital-game series Fallout. The investigation focused on fan and producer interaction surrounding the release of the controversial next installment in the Fallout series, Fallout 3. Using previous literature and data gathered, the study proposed a model for fan-producer negotiation over text integrity that can be applied to fan-producer interaction in multiple contexts.

CREATIVE ADOLESCENTS: SEX DIFFERENCES IN ACHIEVEMENT, INTERESTS, PERSONALITY, AND VALUES
Shelton, Amberlea
Kerr, Barbara
The Counseling Laboratory for the Exploration of Optimal States (CLEOS) is a research through service program that facilitates creativity, flow, and exceptional talents in adolescents. This study investigated sex differences in 549 adolescents, who have come to CLEOS, ranging in age from 13 to 18 years. The study assessed sex differences in terms of vocational interests, personality, and values; using the Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI), Personality Research Form (PRF), the Six Factor Personality Questionnaire(SFPQ), the NEO PI-R, the Tellegen Absorption Scale (TAS), and a Values Inventory. Results showed females scored significantly higher than males on grade point average; the VPI scale-Social, the PRF scales-Achievement, Endurance, Harm Avoidance, Nurturance, and Succorance; the NEO PI-R scales-Neuroticism and Openness; and the TAS score. This study found males scored significantly higher than females on the VPI scale-Realistic and the PRF scale Autonomy.

The Development, Implementation, and Maintenance of Augmentative and Alternative Communication Through Telepractice in Peru
Vaughan, Lauren Emily
Wegner, Jane
The descriptive study documents the development and implementation of low technology Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) boards in Peru and conducts maintenance sessions through telepractice. The director of the Centro Ann Sullivan del Perú (CASP) selected two individuals with complex communication needs as candidates for the study. Both individuals had not had previous speech language services, access to low or high technology AAC devices, or a consistent or conventional means of communication. The development and implementation of low-technology AAC boards was in Peru. Maintenance sessions were scheduled over the course of four months through telepractice sessions conducted from the telepractice room in the Schiefelbusch Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic in Lawrence, Kansas. Upon completion, both individuals obtained a means of communication through low technology AAC boards. Parent report through a final survey indicated that AAC helped their child communicate, AAC was easy to use, telepractice maintained intervention, and telepractice was easy to use with assistance. Results from one parent’s online Communication Matrix in Spanish (Rowland, 2017) indicated that communication improved. The second parent did not complete the online Communication Matrix in Spanish (Rowland, 2017), due to difficulties with Internet connection.

Developing Civic Education in the United States: A Case Study of Olathe, Kansas' Youth Congress Program
Crawford, Angela
Carlin, Diana B.
An informed and active citizenry is essential for a well-functioning democracy, and how we teach children citizenship has the potential to invigorate citizen engagement and responsibility. This research looks at a program that seeks to do just that: the Student Development Department's (SDD) Youth Congress program in Olathe, Kansas. Current and past Youth Congress participants were surveyed as well as non-participants at the high school and college levels to evaluate the effectiveness of Youth Congress as a civic education program. Results found that current and past participants of Youth Congress scored higher on measures of political and civic engagement than non-participants. Furthermore, Youth Congress is a significant predictor of political and civic action. Finally, the study assessed how effective the SDD is at recruitment and how they can increase access to their programs. These results provide direction for schools wanting to provide more effective civic education for their students.

Searching for the Spirit of Crazy Horse: A Rhetorical Analysis of Competing Myths
Kimbrell, Tyler
Childers, Jay
In this thesis I look at three different biographical reconstructions of Crazy Horse that construct the famous Lakota man as a mythic hero. Through the lens of myth and narrative theory, I identify three different ways in which Crazy Horse has been portrayed as a heroic individual: 1) as a heroic warrior for his leadership role in defeating U.S. forces at the Battle of the Little Bighorn 2) for his generosity to his people in a time of traumatic change and 3) for his willingness to sacrifice his life to end the violent conflict between Sioux and U.S. military. I argue that Crazy Horse presents a unique opportunity for biographers to offer competing myths about his life because we know so little about him, aside from his accomplishments. Thus, the lack of primary resources about the life of Crazy Horse provides an opportunity for the biographer to construct Crazy Horse in a way that serves their own purpose in telling his story.

Why She Did It: Battle for the Meaning of the Female Suicide Attackers of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam
Murray, Athena Renee
Tell, Dave
Suicide bombings are quickly becoming the tactic of choice for resistance groups around the globe, and increasingly, women are becoming the chosen perpetrators. However, the continued strength of gender roles and stereotypes has created resistance to these new roles. This project argues that narratives surrounding the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam's (LTTE) female suicide attackers have been politically effective only when they do not depart significantly from traditional conceptions of women. Narratives that depict female suicide attackers in traditional gender roles are contrasted with those of typically masculine roles. Using narrative theory, two case studies are examined: the LTTE's first and last suspected female suicide attackers, Dhanu and Anoja. A deeper understanding of the manipulations of women's images will potentially help us understand the growing trend of female suicide attacks around the world.

"The Work of Generations": Tyranny and Democracy in the 2006 National Security Strategy
Cram, Travis J.
Parson, Donn W
The 2006 National Security Strategy (NSS) of the George W. Bush administration has been neglected by rhetorical and policy scholars alike. In this study, I advance a rhetorical criticism of NSS 2006 and associated rhetoric of the Bush administration. Not only is NSS 2006 a rhetorical response to many of the challenges faced by the Bush administration's foreign policy during their first political term, it is also an exercise in symbolic action. The key rhetorical theme of this document is a constitutive agon centered on a dramatic clash between democracy (good) and tyranny (evil). Using narrative and Burkean methods of analysis, I argue that NSS 2006 substantially hinders open deliberation about foreign policy while simultaneously making the United States and the world less safe.

"I'M JUST TEXTING TO SAY HELLO": EXAMINING HOW PARENTS' ACCESS TO AND USE OF INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES INFLUENCES SATISFACTION AMONG ADULT CHILDREN
Schon, Jennifer A.
Kunkel, Adrianne
Advancements in technology have altered how and when communication occurs between individuals in a relationship. Although research has investigated how new information communication technologies (ICTs) affect peer relationships (Yoon, 2003) and parents' communication with their young children (Devitt & Roker, 2009), how information communication technologies influence parent-adult child relationships is less clear. By examining contradictory premises of media multiplexity theory (Haythornthwaite, 2005) and the theory of electronic propinquity (Korzenny, 1978), this study tested whether parental access to ICTs influences communication and relationship satisfaction for adult children and to what extent. This study also examined a new use of ICTs - connectedness - and analyzed how parents' reported connectedness influences parent-adult child relationships. The results indicate that the number of media parents and adult children utilize to maintain their relationship does modestly influence satisfaction. In addition, satisfaction is greater when parents act more in line with a connected mode of communicating and when they are more communicatively competent. These results provide families, therapists, researchers, and educators with a better understanding of how ICTs influence family relationships.

Communication and the Art of Improvisation
Arterburn, Jeffrey D.
Parson, Donn W
Over the last 15 years, improvisational theater has been increasingly applied in organizational contexts to improve the communicative environment of that organization. It is widely held that improv benefits the communicative environment, but the reasons for its effectiveness are illusive in the literature. This study seeks to better understand the reasons for its effectiveness in application in extra-theatrical application. It does this through analyzing significant improv texts and interviews conducted by the author with several highly experienced improvisers in Chicago, the birthplace of modern improv. Through thematic analysis, nine significant topoi were established that provide understanding for what is happening when people engage in improv. Ultimately it was found that when all the topoi are combined in practice improv serves as a communicative method designed for spontaneously solving problems as they arise.

Baseball, Rituals, and the American Dream: An Analysis of the Boston Red Sox’s Response to the Boston Marathon Bombing
Bajorek, Benton James
Innocenti, Beth
In April 2013, the Tsarnaev brothers placed two homemade bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. This attack created a need for healing the city’s spirit and the Boston Red Sox played an essential role in the city’s recovery as the team invited victims and first responders to pregame ceremonies throughout the season to participate in ritualistic pregame ceremonies. This thesis examines the Red Sox first home game after the bombing and argues that ritualistic pregame ceremonies craft conditions for performing national citizenship identity by calling upon mythic belief systems to warrant norms of citizenship performance.

Goals, Reflection, and Students' Mathematics Self-Efficacy
Schippers, Jessica Lynn
Gay, Susan
This study investigated what changes occurred in students' self-efficacy beliefs when reflection on goal progression and academic achievement was integrated in the classroom. It also identified how students' views towards setting goals and reflecting on their learning changed over time. At the beginning of the semester, 57 Algebra I students created four course goals. A Chapter Writing Assignment was given after each of the six chapters in the semester which asked students to reflect and write about their goal progression as well as their overall academic achievement. Three questionnaires were given during the semester; students rated their confidence about completing 15 mathematical tasks as well as their beliefs on the value of goal setting and reflecting on learning. The questionnaires also included open-ended items allowing students to write about their overall confidence in mathematics and growth as learners. The study's results supported four conclusions. First, the Semester Goals sheet and the Chapter Writing Assignment served as effective instruments in providing an opportunity for students to write goals and reflect on their goal progression and overall learning during the semester. Second, calculated means showed an increase in self-confidence levels of students for 13 of the 15 mathematical tasks. Third, mean scores and open-ended responses indicated that students found goal setting and reflecting on learning valuable. Finally, the students also expressed an overall increase in confidence throughout the semester as evident through their written responses on the questionnaires.

Symbolic Gender Role Reversal and Touchstone Criticism: The Feminist Rhetoric of Gloria Steinem
Howell, Jaclyn Brooke
Innocenti, Beth
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze a sampling of Gloria Steinem's feminist rhetoric by way of "If Men Could Menstruate" (1978/1983) and "What If Freud Were Phyllis?" (1994). I use a historical-descriptive methodology, in which I situate each essay in terms of their historical contexts, and I closely analyze Steinem's rhetoric in light of each historical situation. I also examine "If Men Could Menstruate" and "What If Freud Were Phyllis?" in terms of their enduring contributions. Towards this end, I consider whether or not these essays are touchstones of feminist criticism, meaning that a text meets audience demands and stands the test of time. Focusing on these two essays is necessary because they are memorable, they have received popular acclaim, they function as a pair, and they transcend the boundaries of second wave feminism.

Upright Citizens of the Digital Age: Podcasting and Popular Culture in an Alternative Comedy Scene
Meserko, Vince
Childers, Jay
In this thesis I look at how one of our newest communication mediums, the podcast, is being used by a group of Los Angeles-based comedians loosely assembled under the "alternative comedy" label. Through the lens of critical and medium theory, I identify two primary functions of the podcast for this community: 1) as a space for comedy performance involving character-based sketches and stream-of-consciousness conversation and 2) as a meditation on the nature of stand-up comedy that often confronts tensions between popular and folk culture. I argue that these two functions have become generic hallmarks of the alternative comedy podcasting community. As such, they provide important insight into how subcultures reinforce, reinterpret, and manage artistic value in new media environments. Further, the podcast offers an object lesson in the ways that creative artists have exercised a new sense of agency in controlling the direction of their careers.

Public Office or Private Marriage? An Examination of the Influence of the Relationship of the President and First Lady
Hall, Lacey
Banwart, Mary C.
This study examined the impact of president and first lady interaction on presidential image, including competency, favorability and homophily. A pre-test and post-test design was used to examine the changes in participants' perception of the President Barack Obama's image and competency, participants' favorability ratings of Obama, and participants' homophily ratings after viewing photos of the Barack and Michelle Obama in either professional settings or personal settings. Statistical analysis indicated that no significant differences between the groups existed, suggesting that voter perception of the president may remain constant regardless of how the president interacts with his wife. Content and thematic analyses of open-ended questions suggest that voters are more likely to view the president's relationship with the first lady in personal terms rather than professional terms, regardless of the type of image (personal or profession) viewed. Additionally, young voters were more likely to expect the first lady to engage in familial duties rather than work- or image-related duties, confirming previous research on first lady scholarship.

THE (UN)CREDIBLE EXPERT WITNESS: THE IMPORTANCE OF TRUSTWORTHINESS AND EXPERTISE IN EXPERT WITNESS TESTIMONY
Fuchsberger, Arianne
Beisecker, Thomas
The credibility of an expert witness is an important factor on the attitudes and behaviors of jurors. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship trustworthiness and expertise had on participants' verdict decisions, perceptions of expert witness overall credibility and each of the four separate dimensions of expert witness credibility. An audio recording presented an attack on the expert, showing him to be low in trustworthiness, low in expertise, low in both, or a control of neither. Dependent variables were participants' verdict decision of Likelihood of Negligence, and perceptions of credibility. Low trustworthiness and low expertise both significantly affect participants' verdict decision. Only the trustworthiness dimension affected participants' perception of overall credibility and trustworthiness, suggesting trustworthiness be treated as an independent dimension. Results further the construct of expert witness credibility and show trustworthiness and expertise to be important elements of expert witness credibility.

Conflict Management Styles of Americans and Indonesians: Exploring the Effects of Gender and Collectivism/Individualism
Su'udy, Rizaladdin
Zhang, Yan Bing
The study explored the effects of gender and collectivism/individualism on conflict management styles among Indonesians (n= 271) and Americans (n= 243). Findings indicated that Indonesians preferred the compromising and integrating styles the most, followed by the avoiding, obliging, and emotion styles. The next preferred styles were the third-party use and dominating styles. For Americans, the compromising and integrating styles were the most preferred, followed by the dominating and emotional expression styles. The next preferred style was the obliging style, followed by the avoiding and third-party help styles. The neglect style was the least preferred style in both groups, with male participants and Indonesians endorsed the style significantly more than females and Americans respectively. In addition, results revealed that Americans preferred the integrating, compromising, dominating, emotional expression, and obliging styles significantly more than Indonesians. Indonesians preferred the avoiding style significantly more than Americans. Participants preferred the third-party help style equally. Findings showed that American males were significantly more individualistic than American females, Indonesian males, and Indonesian females. Collectivism was a positive predictor of the avoiding, integrating, compromising, emotional expression and obliging styles in both cultures. Additionally, collectivism was a positive predictor of the third-party help style among Americans. Individualism was a positive predictor of the dominating style in both groups. Individualism was a positive predictor of the integrating, compromising, and emotional expression styles in the Indonesian sample. Individualism was a positive predictor of the neglect style in the American sample. Overall, these findings indicate that collectivism is a stronger predictor of the conflict styles than is individualism. Results are discussed in light of prior literature on conflict management style, gender, and culture.

Alter Egos / Alternative Rhetorics: Belle Knox's Rhetorical Construction of Pornography and Feminism
Bosch, Emily Meredith
Tell, Dave
In early 2014, Miriam Weeks, more famously known as “the Duke Porn Star” was exposed for acting in pornography to pay her exorbitant Duke tuition bills. Throughout the media saga that followed her outing, Weeks defended her decision to act in pornography, arguing that it was a feminist affirmation of her sexual agency. However, Weeks’s defense of her pornography career is not monolithic, but rather, takes two distinct forms. The first form is characterized by structural or intersectional rhetoric, focused on the contextual factors that implicate the meaning of both pornography and feminism. Contrasting this rhetorical pattern is another that emerged in Weeks’s defense of pornography, characterized by neoliberalism. This rhetoric focused on the affirmation of individualism. Weeks’s neoliberal rhetoric constructed pornography as an openly-accessible option to solve economic shortcomings, regardless of the individual’s social location. Not only is pornography constructed neoliberally, feminism is also constructed neoliberally. Weeks’s neoliberal construction of feminism reduced feminism to an ideology premised solely on the affirmation of individual choices made by women, regardless of what those choices are. Thus, it ignored the role class plays in gender-based oppression. Although these two rhetorical patterns appear mutually exclusive, they co-exist within Weeks’s defense of her pornography career, articulating two distinct versions of both pornography and feminism.

Stepfamily Expectations: Expected and Actual Communication between Stepchildren and Stepparents
Rainforth, Paige
Woszidlo, Alesia
This study is grounded in Expectancy Violations Theory and examined the relationships among expectations that stepchildren have for stepparent communicative behaviors, expectation violations, stepparent conflict, and stepparent satisfaction.Participants (N = 94) included young adults from stepfamilies who had formed while they were in high school. Analyses revealed that stepchildren experienced significantly more warmth, affection, and discipline behaviors from their stepparents than they had anticipated before getting to know him/her. Stepchildren who negatively perceived stepparent warmth, control, emotional support, and routine behaviors were more likely to report increased stepparent conflict. Stepchildren who positively perceived stepparent warmth, control, affection, emotional support, discipline, and routine behaviors were more likely to report increased stepparent satisfaction.These results indicate that certain stepparent behaviors, and stepchildren's evaluations of the expectation violation for those behaviors, may be associated with stepchildren's reports of stepparent conflict and stepparent satisfaction. As such, the current study poses suggestions for how stepparents may address stepchildren's expectations for their behavior.

Social Categorization of Op Ed Discourse in Harry Potter
Hatfield, Rachel Catherine
Baym, Nancy
This study investigated the process of social categorization present in the public discourse surrounding the Harry Potter phenomenon as a piece of convergent media. The study's research questions asked which social categories were present in op-ed treatments of the topic, how each category is perceived, and which major strategies are used in relation to those perceived categories. Research questions were addressed with discourse analysis of op-ed pieces from large circulation mass media articles. It found the social categories of child and adult fans, casual readers, non-participators, stewards and commentators. These social categories were shown to fit together to represent membership categorization devices. Rules and boundaries created by those devices influenced authors' claimed self-identities.

Terministic Screens and Partisan Audiences: A Burkean Cluster Analysis of Clint Eastwood's American Sniper
Merwin, Daniel Kent
Rowland, Robert C
After its 2014 release and box-office success, Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper, a war film dramatizing the life of Navy Seal Chris Kyle, became a controversial picture for both conservative and liberal partisan audiences. The film, however, put forth a predominantly anti-war argument, depicting the futility of war and the damage it inflicts on both Americans and Iraqis. In this study I examined scenes and dialogue in the film, using Kenneth Burke’s cluster analysis method, to explain the anti-war argument in the film. Further, I show how specific key terms resonate with partisan terministic screens, explaining the misreading of the film. I discovered that the most significant key term in the film is Family, and its antithesis is War. Any terms that cluster around War, even terms meant to uphold Family, ultimately prove destructive to Family. The film relies heavily on showing how War destroys Family. However, I also discovered that what deflects the anti-war message for partisans is the character of Chris Kyle, a conservative who continually adheres to his right-wing ideology as justification for war until it almost destroys him and his family. This depiction of a conservative viewing the Iraq War as a black-and-white conflict between “good” and “evil” taps into conservative vocabularies and liberal vocabularies: conservatives identify with Kyle’s language, and liberals abhor it. Both partisan audiences, through this selection, deflect the anti-war statement in the film.

Online Newspaper Coverage of Femicide in Chile and the US
Neira Mellado, Carola Paz
Banwart, Mary C.
The present study explored the portrayal and frames that the U.S. online news media and Chilean online news media use when covering femicide/IPV fatalities news. Associations among a Femicide Law enactment and changes in the use of labels to portray the cases were examined. Content analysis was conducted, comparing data from 46 U.S. online news articles and 138 Chilean news articles. Results suggest that the enactment of a law that recognizes femicide as a crime has an effect on how the cases are labeled in the news. Results also support previous findings, showing stereotyped news coverage that isolates cases of violence against women and indirectly excuses the perpetrator.

The Politics of Talent: Inequality, Innovation, and Attribution
Kennedy, Sean Christopher
Tell, Dave
Since the “Great Recession” in late 2007, economic inequality in the United States has been increasing sharply. The notion of “talent” has been a key prism through which the various responses to economic inequality have been refracted. Talent is able to bend and shape the appearance of economic inequality because it is rhetorical, attributing innovation and economic productivity to the “authorship” of specific individuals through metonymy. The rhetorical function of talent operates within a broader “neoliberal imaginary,” in which the invisible order of the market appears to operate behind the material world, organizing the environment of concrete, everyday reality. Against the dominant understanding of economic inequality as an issue of the redistribution of wealth, I argue a fundamental, prior issue is the reattribution of talent. Framed as a problem of redistribution, economic inequality appears to require the transfer of wealth from productive individuals making disproportionately large economic contributions, to less productive individuals contributing substantially less. I examine the metonymical function of talent through three case studies. In First, in US immigration reform debates, pro-immigration advocates use the discourse of the “global war for talent,” enabling neoliberal state governance by positing talent as a key ingredient in gaining economic advantage. Second, biographical constructions of Steve Jobs do not quarrel over whether he was talented or a “genius,” but instead take his genius for granted, and concern themselves with specifying the particular sort of genius he manifested. The circulation of Jobs enables the attribution of Apple’s productivity to his possession of “delicate taste,” allowing him to function as a cultural shorthand justifying relations of economic inequality. Third, the response to President Obama’s “you didn’t build that,” speech explicitly argued individual immigrant entrepreneurs were “talented” because they act as the source for “inventions,” enabling the success of their companies to operate as evidence of talent ex post facto, through metonymy. Each case study demonstrates a unique site at which talent is operationalized as a rhetorical mechanism for organizing economic relations of power. While the sites are distinct, however, all three sights illustrate the importance of rhetorical theory to the study and critique of economic inequality.

Doing Ethos-Work: Exploring Group Ethos Among Indie Musicians
Warnock, Jon D.
Baym, Nancy
Utilizing the perspectives of Goffman, Aristotle and Burke this study investigated the concepts of ethos and group ethos in three case studies of indie music artists as discursive performances of character in action through discourse. Through discourse analysis, seven primary value domains were established to better understand the range of topics and discourses used by these artists to manifest the virtues and ethics of the group and its members. The study also shows how these artists are mobilizing these moral discourses functionally to form, reproduce and manage their group ethos.

Populism and Myth in the Rhetoric of Elizabeth Warren
Walker, Zachary
Rowland, Robert
This study sought to understand the strong resonance of Elizabeth Warren's rhetoric among Millenials and many liberal democrats. The three texts selected each received an inordinate amount of attention, particularly via social media and later by the popular press. As no rhetorical studies had been done about Warren, I drew from the remarkable body of literature concerning populist rhetoric and the paranoid style. Framework in place, the analysis of Warren's rhetoric revealed the presence of the major traits of populist rhetoric, but also made it clear that the core suasive power of her message came from a communitarian variant of the American Dream myth.

Navigating Ambiguous Negativity: A Case Study of Twitch.tv Live Chats
Mihailova, Teodora Mihailova
Hall, Jeffrey A
The popular gaming-oriented platform Twitch.tv, which offers video game fans an online space to interact by sharing and viewing gameplay and participating in live chats, is faced with the problem of online negativity alongside all of gaming culture. The content of live chat interaction has been explored on a larger scale, using rules from computer-mediated communication to classify behaviors such as spam and capital letters as negative. The current study used a nuanced qualitative look at particular user communities and the intersection between their descriptive and injunctive community norms and the use of ambiguous negativity, or interactions whose valence is not unanimously understood because communities have their own sets of meanings and rules that can be misunderstood by outsiders. Based on a study of systematic recordings of chats and streams of the Dark Souls game series, ambiguous negativity is prevalent and includes behaviors like cursing, game jargon, banter, spam and sarcasm. True negativity and hostility are rare, but they exist and manifest as usage of exclusionary language and banter gone too far. Despite its infrequency, clear negativity can shape the way people experience these communities. The role community members are to assume in responding or not responding to negativity is often not clearly defined by community norms.

Family Structure and The Freshmen Year: Influence of Parental Marital Status and Custody Arrangement on First-Year College Adjustment
Parrish, Lauren Patricia
Mikinski, Tamara Coder
Karpowitz, Dennis H.
The purpose of this study is to examine how first-year college adjustment is impacted by family structure. More specifically, the study aims to determine if the current definition of family structure needs to be revised to account for different custody arrangements when assessing its impact on first-year college adjustment. Traditional first year college students were recruited for participation in this study, 82 freshmen chose to take part. Eligibility was determined based on a prescreening questionnaire that examined age, parental marital status, and current college housing arrangement. The survey contained the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire, College Adjustment Test, and demographic questions related to campus involvement, division of parental custody, family background, parental contact and academic history. Participants were divided into the "married" group (N=39), the "co-parenting" group (N=21), and the "single parenting" group (N=22) based on their parents' marital status and custody arrangement, if the parents were divorced. Significant differences were found in terms of high school grade point average, as well as grade point average from the first semester of college. Further research is needed to continue assessing the possible revision of the present definition of family structure; larger numbers of participants and more equivalent group sizes will aid in increased statistical power.

Coming Out in Rural America: Stories of Disclosure and Identity
Morgan, Joshua
Kunkel, Adrianne
The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the gender norm construction process within rural communities and the possible association it might have on non-heterosexuals' sexual identity formation. The study also examined the decision-making processes non-heterosexuals tend to use when disclosing their sexuality. In addition, the study explored the expected and actual reactions these individuals perceived when "coming out" to others. The research exploring the communication of rural non-heterosexuals is growing, but still sparse. This research aimed to help to fill that gap. Extant literature reveals the possible and probable difficulties facing non-heterosexuals in small-town environments due to the culture's emphasis on the continuation of the family and hyper-masculinity norms. The social support literature also reveals the importance of care, acceptance, and positive reactions to disclosure at the time non-heterosexuals come out. Interview data was collected from 25 participants and a thematic analysis revealed that non-heterosexuals sought their own LGBTQ identity in a heteronormative community, often using external resources to educate themselves. Participants also reported a large number of expected negative reactions that influenced the manner in which they disclosed their sexuality. Theoretical and practical implications arising from this study are offered, as well as a discussion of future directions and limitations of this research.

Cultural variables that affect communication in business encounters between Southern Africans and Americans
Zulu, Rashid
The primary purpose of this study was to determine cultural variables that affect communication encounters between Southern African and American entrepreneurs. Cultural variables, as cited by Dodd (1977), include attitudes, social organization, thought patterns, world view, concept of time, and role prescription, have also been noted by authorities in cross-cultural communication such as Asuncion-Lande (1989), Harris and Moran (1987), and Samovar & Porter (1976). These variables are considered to be the primary factors that contribute to miscommunication between people of different cultural backgrounds.
Fifteen business persons were interviewed for this study, ten from Southern Africa (Tanzania and Zambia) and five from America. Each subject was interviewed for approximately forty to sixty minutes. The interview was designed to elicit information concerning their business communication experiences. A content analysis of the data was applied.
This study found that there are cultural barriers that impinge on effective communication between the Southern African and American entrepreneurs. The study suggests that entrepreneurs who intend to engage in international business in Southern Africa stand to benefit by learning the other's cultural backgrounds. By doing so, it may enhance their perceptions of each other and lead to more effective communication between them.

Millennials' Expectation of Trust for Supervisors and Coworkers in the Workplace
Ito, Miwa
Russo, Tracy
Trust has been studied as a significant factor to facilitate organizational communication and outcomes for both individuals and organizations. The purpose of this study was to explore trust in organizational relationships, focusing on Millennials, the most recent generation to enter the workplace. This study investigated 98 Millennial college students at a large Midwestern university, examining their overall propensity to trust, expectations of trust for supervisors and coworkers in their future workplaces, and the degree of formality they expect to encounter in workplace relationships. Findings indicated the participants had higher levels of expectations for trust in workplace relationships than trust in general. Furthermore, they expected to have higher degrees of trust and formality for supervisors than for coworkers. This empirical research contributes to a better understanding of Millennials, who will represent a significant proportion of the workplace population in coming years.

The Economic Cost of Instructional Coaching
Knight, David Stephen
Phipps, Barbara J
School-based instructional coaching is one of the fastest growing approaches to professional development today; however, little is known about the impact on student achievement or about the cost (Darling-Hammond et al., 2009). This study reports the economic cost of instructional coaching (Knight, 2007), a model of professional development currently used to support in-service learning for teachers. First, the study describes a useable framework for measuring the cost of a coaching program; next, this cost framework is applied to three schools with instructional coaching programs during the 2009-10 school year. The average cost per teacher was found to range from approximately $3,260 to $5,220, while model developers suggest a cost of $2,298 per teacher. Consistent with the literature (Miles, et al., 2003) many costs were hidden from school-leaders and district budgets, in particular, teacher salaried work time. Cost adjustments were made for geographical region, inflation, coach attrition, annualization and fringe benefits of compensation. Strategies to lower the costs of coaching programs are also discussed. Because schools are making large investments in coaching programs, educational professionals need to know whether instructional coaching is cost-effective. By presenting a framework for measuring costs and reporting costs of specific programs, this study lays the groundwork for cost-effectiveness studies.

Perception of grandchild-grandparent communication in South Korea and reduction of prejudice toward aging
Paik, Soojeong
Zhang, Yan Bing
Guided by intergroup contact theory and communication accommodation theory, this study investigated the relationships between Korean young adults' (N = 301, M age = 21.90, SD = 1.79) contact frequency with their grandparents (with whom they had the most frequent contact) and perceptions of the grandparents' intergroup communication and attitudes toward older adults and one's own aging. In addition, the current research examined the moderating role of age salience and the mediating role of intergroup anxiety in these relationships. Findings showed that the grandparents' intergroup communication was significantly and negatively associated with attitudes toward older adults whereas contact frequency was significantly and positively associated with attitudes toward older adults and Korean young adults' own aging. In addition, the grandparent's intergroup communication was significantly and positively associated with age salience and intergroup anxiety whereas contact frequency was significantly and negatively associated with intergroup anxiety. Intergroup anxiety was significantly and negatively associated with attitudes toward older adults and Korean young adults' own aging. Furthermore, age salience was shown to moderate the relationships between contact frequency, the grandparents' intergroup communication, and attitudes toward older adults. Intergroup anxiety was shown to mediate the relationships between contact frequency, the grandparents' intergroup communication, and attitudes toward older adults and Korean young adults' own aging. These findings were discussed in terms of intergenerational communication and culture, theoretical contributions, practical implications, and limitations.

Characteristics of the Male Gazer: Application of Ambivalent Sexism Theory and Sociosexuality on Male Gazing Behavior
Compton, Benjamin Lee
Hall, Jeffrey A
Gaze behavior has been defined as a method of focusing social attention, which potentially can aid in the process of choosing a potential sexual or romantic partner during mate selection. The male gaze refers to visual inspection of a female’s sexual body parts by men. This investigation seeks to understand what characteristics of men are associated with men’s self-reported gazing behaviors and men’s attitudes regarding their interpersonal gazing. Theories on sexual preferences (i.e., sociosexuality) and gender attitudes (i.e., ambivalent sexism theory) were used to predict men’s gaze behavior and attitudes. Specifically, five factors of male gaze were developed and pilot tested: frequency of gaze behavior, unacceptability of gaze behavior, male enjoyment while gazing, perceived female enjoyment while being the recipient of male gaze, and awareness of gaze behavior. In the main study, heterosexual men (N= 236) completed an online survey. Results demonstrated that attitudes towards short-term sex, desire for short-term sex, and hostile sexist beliefs were the best predictors of frequency of gaze behavior, acceptability of this behavior, and male enjoyment while gazing. Sociosexuality and ambivalent sexism theory, as well as objectification theory, were applied to explain the findings.

Fighting for a Cause: How Conflict Can Produce Interdependence
Dominguez, Jess
Hall, Jeffrey A
Interdependence theory (Kelley & Thibaut, 1978) illustrates the impact of partners’ behaviors as relational outcomes are dependent on such behavior. This thesis project aimed to contribute to interdependence theory by considering the influence conflict could have on its development in romantic relationships. Using a longitudinal design, the goal was to examine the change of interdependence factors (i.e., commitment, satisfaction, CLalt, power mutuality) by specific conflict variables like intensity and management responses (i.e., exit-voice-loyalty-neglect model). Time 1 (N = 135) indicated that satisfaction and the CLalt are significant predictors of commitment , which supports past research (Le & Agnew, 2003; Rusbult et al., 1998; Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003). Time 2 (N = 52) analyses demonstrated that exit behaviors and conflict intensity can produce significant changes in interdependence factors. Significant findings offer further implications for how the transformation of motivation (Kelley & Thibaut, 1978; Rusbult & Buunk, 1993) can influence interdependence in established romantic relationships. Null findings offer interesting areas of future work on conflict in romantic relationships and theoretical development for interdependence theory.

The Art of Simulated Atonement: A Case Study of George W. Bush
Shepard, Ryan Michael
Rowland, Robert C.
This study sought to explain how President George W. Bush used a unique form of apologia during his first six years in office to minimize accountability for his role in three major political scandals. After selecting appropriate texts for analysis and conducting research to establish the historical context of his remarks, I identified patterns in Bush's use of image repair tactics, made generalizations about his overall strategy, and determined the impact that his unique rhetoric had on his success, and eventual failure, as President. Though Bush's use of simulated atonement allowed him to evade accountability for the Abu Ghraib and WMD scandals, his strategy failed to stem the public backlash following Hurricane Katrina. Several factors explained why simulated atonement might work for certain rhetors, and a few limitations of the strategy were explored. Several implications for rhetorical theory and understanding of the Bush administration emerge from the findings.

Public Land, Money, and Use: The Rhetorical Calibration of Publics and Place
Smith, Joshua
Tell, Dave
In this thesis, I examine two recent attempts at land transfer, which is the idea that the federal government should pass ownership of its public lands to the states. I contend that recent attempts at land transfer have calibrated publics and place through rearticulations of public lands. In chapter two, money is the driving force behind land transfer, while land use is the central concern in chapter three. Together, these two chapters further my central argument that differential conceptions of land must be calibrated to differential conceptions of "publics." Further, the reverse is also true: divergent understandings of publicness produce divergent visions of the land and its use.

The rhetoric of United States Marine Corps enlisted recruitment: a historical study and analysis of the persuasive approach utilized
Rutledge, Gary L.
This thesis concerns itself with the rhetorical approach utilized by the United States Marine Corps to persuade men to enlist voluntarily. This thesis is a historical tracing of the rhetorical
approach used by the Marine Corps in recruitment. This tracing relates the rhetoric to the presence or absence of a national level war and/or the presence or absence of a conscription system such as the draft. The study is limited to that rhetoric which is aimed at the recruitment of enlisted men and women.
In summary, this thesis treats the rhetorical approach utilized in United States Marine Corps posters/billboard advertising from 1775 to 1973. It also explores the relationship of the rhetorical approach to the presence or absence of war and/or a conscription system.

On Holocaust Cookbooks: Fourth Generation Jews and the Re-creation of Jewish Food Culture
Slaw, Talya Peri
Childers, Jay
Food is essential: to memory, to culture, and to identity. In the introduction to In Memory’s Kitchen, Cara De Silva (1996) argues, “Our personal gastronomic traditions – what we eat, the foods and foodways we associate with the rituals of childhood, marriage, and parenthood, moments around the table, celebrations – are critical components of our identities” (p. xxiv). Food, as it is often associated with specific periods of time, events, and feelings, is undoubtedly intertwined with memory. This is especially true for Jews. In Judaism, not only is nearly every holiday associated in some way with special foods (such as the Passover Seder or eating fried potato latkes on Hanukkah), but the Jewish deli also played, at times, a more important role in American Jewish social life than the synagogue. Despite this rich tradition of associating food with remembrance and everyday life, food talk is often missing from discussions of the Holocaust. And yet, it was food talk that gave many in the labor, concentration, and death camps the will to survive and hope that they would one-day return to the life they had lived before the camps. Three extant, published cookbooks describe the way food was used for survival during (In Memory’s Kitchen, written in a concentration camp) and after (Recipes Remembered and the Holocaust Survivors Cookbook, two collections of recipes from survivors) the Holocaust. This thesis will explore just that, as I examine the relationship between food or “food talk” and memory. This is not just an important question for Holocaust memory, but also for public memory scholars and rhetoricians writ large. Rhetoricians have recently begun to take an interest in understanding food from a variety of perspectives. However, the relationship between food, collective memory, and identity has been left under-theorized. In this thesis, I bridge that gap, arguing that these cookbooks can make the past present and thus help to reestablish a lost Jewish identity for fourth generation Jews.

Constructing the Message: The Influence of Differing Political Communication Styles of Voter Decision Making
Walz, Carl Julius
Childers, Jay
Practitioner communication is commonly criticized for substituting emotion for policy, while deliberative communication is critiqued for removing emotion from reason altogether. This study proposes agonism as an attempt to bridge the divide. Agonistic political communication strives to substantively inform and motivate citizens. Furthermore, it attempts to shift unavoidable political divides from the moral realm to the political realm. To study the effects of all three message types, sample messages were constructed to reflect the differing theoretical approaches. These messages then served as the basis of small group discussions about politics and the economy. A pretest/posttest design was utilized to measure how the messages affected levels of political knowledge, efficacy, party favorability, social trust and institutional trust. Qualitative analysis of short answers and video recorded discussion offered further understanding of effects. Statistical analysis offered little support for agonism, but qualitative analysis showed agonism had potential to fulfill its theoretical purpose.

From Sexism to Feminism: Arguments of Definition in A Return to Modesty and Girls Gone Mild
Wendelin, Greta
Bruss, Kristine
In 1999, A Return to Modesty was published, wherein Wendy Shalit argued for sexism. Shalit's book received a fair amount of support and attention, yet also elicited some reviews which were extremely opposed to Shalit's argument for sexism. Shalit's second book, Girls Gone Mild: Young Women Reclaim Self-Respect and Find It's Not Bad to Be Good, was released in 2007 and is a startling departure from A Return to Modesty. Shalit made a tactical decision in Girls Gone Mild to appropriate a former enemy, feminism. A rhetorical analysis of these two works reveals that Shalit employs arguments of definition when arguing for sexism and feminism--first, she argues for real definitions within A Return to Modesty. Within Girls Gone Mild, Shalit modifies this strategy into what I call "founders' intent."
