which found that students perceived family and the workplace as more supportive towards their academic success than the college. The results of the earlier study were based mainly on qualitative data obtained from focus groups. The current research will be a quantitative study that through the use of survey questionnaires will attempt to confirm the earlier findings. A review of the literature was conducted to develop the questionnaire used and includes measures of family, workplace and college support and stress. In addition, participants identify the degree of attachment they have to the school in terms of satisfaction with the college, their department and overall educational experience. Results are discusses in terms of how such information can be used to enhance students’ perceptions and educational experiences. Presentation Type and Session: Poster II To Capture Your Mind and Tell Their Story: Captivity Narratives Adam Bardol, ANT 499: Advance Indigenous Studies Faculty Mentor: Professor Lisa Anselmi, Anthropology In nearly all Native American histories there have been captivity stories of white women. We often hear of “brutes capturing, torturing, raping, and killing” these women and the crusades which were undertaken to rescue said women. This is often half the story. The Native American accounts often differ. There are several stories where the captive is returned to white society and the stories are true in part, but life was not as horrible as it seems (or was recounted). I intend to look into the captivities of Olive Oatman, Cynthia Ann Parker, Mary Jemison, and Pocahontas. I will look into their individual captivities and compare their stories. Olive Oatman and Cynthia Ann Parker were captured in Western North America, and Mary Jemison and Pocahontas in Eastern North America. This will give me a good geographical division point. Also in contrast is the fact that Oatman, Parker and Jemison were European-Americans while Pocahontas was an Indigenous woman. I will be using captivity narratives read in my class, ANT 499 Advanced Indigenous Studies, and several others to facilitate my research. Presentation Type and Session: Poster I Until Irreconcilable Differences Do Us Part: How Divorce Affects Adult Offspring Kira Bruce, Psychology Faculty Mentor: Professor Jill Norvilitis, Psychology Divorce in our culture is a common practice. Although most children are resilient to the effects of divorce, there are still many who suffer psychological damage that is often left unresolved (Laumann-Billings and Emery, 2000). This study aims to explore the long-term detrimental effects of divorce that are often overlooked as children grow older, specifically concerning college-aged children and their intimate relationships. Hypotheses are as follows: H1: When given descriptions of potential love interests, college students Psychology and Social Sciences will perceive the option whose parents are not divorced as a more suitable partner than an option whose parents are divorced to examine whether divorce is stigmatizing to the offspring. H2: Within a divorce, children will be more affected by the absence of a mother than the absence of a father. H3: Although college students with divorced parents may not have problems pursuing relationships in general, they will be more hesitant to pursue marriage specifically and are likely to have less faith in marriage. H4: College students will be more affected by a divorce that occurs during middle childhood compared to a divorce that occurs when a child is older with the capabilities of understanding, or occurs when a child is younger and not able to recall any conflict. H5: College students of divorced parents will be less trusting and intimate in relationships than those whose families stayed intact. Data are currently being collected and results will be presented at the Student Research and Creativity Celebration. Presentation Type and Session: Poster VI What’s Your Problem? Students’ Experiences With Incivility At School and Work Salome Tsige, Psychology Faculty Mentor: Professor Robert Delprino, Psychology Recently there has been a good deal of attention given to bullying behaviors in school settings. Unfortunately bullying is not a new phenomenon and continues to persist in schools and also in workplaces. An equally important concern that deserves attention is incivility in educational and employment settings. Often it is a precursor to bullying behavior. Incivility is marked by a lack of regard for others and can be defined as any action that goes against the established norms of an environment. This includes any action that interferes with the learning or working experience. This current study will examine the types of incivilities that students face in college and at their workplace. It will also examine the affect that the experienced behaviors have on their feelings towards school and their job. This study also distinguishes what specific behaviors students experience and from whom (other students, instructors, college staff). The study of Incivility is important due to the negative effects with which it is associated. Awareness of the forms of incivility that may be occurring and from where such behaviors are coming will allow such issues to be better addressed. Presentation Type and Session: Poster I White Savages: The Portrayal of European Women In Captivity Narratives Annie Connors, ANT 499: Advanced Indigenous Studies Faculty Mentor: Professor Lisa Anselmi, Anthropology Captivity narratives are a genre of literature devoted to telling the story of people held captive by Native Americans. These stories popularly center on women of European descent and define what 123
124 Psychology and Social Sciences European culture believes to be appropriate behavior for women. Those who were abducted were often treated in ways that differ from the European norm and were often witness to violent deaths of relatives, husbands and children. In a society where men were expected to protect women, the kidnapping of women was viewed as an attack on and affront to the males within that society. Captivity narratives perpetuate stereotypes of both Native Americans as well as settlers and were a part of the on-going conflict between these groups during westward expansion. Through studying the separate captivity narratives of Olive Oatman and Cynthia Ann Parker it is possible to address the key issues of gender and culture during that time period. Presentation Type and Session: Poster I Women of Color and the Journey To Self- Sexual Acceptance Alisa Hawkes, WGS 495: New Age of Sex Faculty Mentor: Professor Amitra Wall, Sociology Feminist scholars and sociologists acknowledge that when discussions revolve around sex and sexuality, a double standard exists for women of color. Sexual experiences for women of color are taboo with “Black sex” being under major scrutiny in American culture since slavery. Further it has been scarcely examined let alone displayed in a positive manner in the media. The purpose of this project is to explore the perceptions of “Black sex.” I will examine three different generations of women in my family: my grandmother, the Baby Boomer; my mother, the Generation X; and my cousin, Generation X/Millennial. Their sexual experiences and their views on the evolution of sexual acceptance in our culture will be explored in this ethnography. I will examine whether these three women internalized the sexual norms, assigned to women of color, in North American society. I will also examine their sexual practices and comfort level to see if they embrace their sexuality. Presentation Type and Session: Poster II Written In Bone: An Analysis of Skeletal Anomalies Annie Connors, ANT 495: Skeletal Anomalies Faculty Mentor: Professor Julie Wieczkowski, Anthropology Forensic Anthropology is the collection of evidence from human skeletal remains for presentation in a legal context. There are a variety of skeletal anomalies that appear similar to trauma. To better recognize skeletal trauma, it is necessary to recognize skeletal anomalies. Thirteen natural human skeletons and four individual skulls in the Department of Anthropology at Buffalo State College were visually assessed for non-fusion anomalies, accessory ossicles and accessory foramina. All anomalies were described and photographed. Nearly every skull presented at least one accessory ossicle. Another common anomaly of the skull was a supra-orbital foramen. A rarity among skull anomalies was one case of metopism and two cases of Huschke’s foramen. Post-cranially, a common anomaly was a septal aperture in the humerus. Among the more rare post-cranial anomalies were one sternal foramen and an instance of a completely unfused sacrum (spina bifida). One skeleton also displayed an interesting foramen inferior to the frontal suture and another displayed a partially divided transverse foramen in a cervical vertebrae. These data can be compiled with other research on the skeletal collections to form a complete file for each individual skeleton. Presentation Type and Session: Poster II
