Conflict Intervention Change through the Developmental Stages

The basis of my research is to examine conflict resolution patterns among elementary, middle and high school aged children. There are a variety of ways that conflict is dealt with positively as well as negatively among these different age groups. Through my research I aim to identify ways in which conflict is dealt with correctly as well as ways it may be improved.

The Halo Effect: The World in Here vs The World Out There

The halo effect is also known as the “What is Beautiful must be Good” effect is an important cognitive bias in understanding people’s perceptions based on individuals’ perceived level of attractiveness. The study of the halo effect can help explain why certain people (highly attractive people) get different opportunities over others. Individual perceived as more attractive are assumed to have positive qualities such as being trustworthy, rich, helpful, kind, and secure. In our study, we are going to see if NCU students have different perceptions of the level attractiveness then what others off our campus have towards pictures of attractive individuals.

The Correlation Between Religious Faith and the Need for Closure

This purpose of this study was to find the correlation between an individual’s religious faith and their need for closure. A person’s need for closure directly corresponds to their need to reduce uncertainty. People are looking for answers to their questions, which then helps them reduce their uncertainty giving them a sense of satisfaction. This is backed by the most updated research from our text Close Encounters by Guerrero, et, and other database websites. Our hypothesis states people with a high level of religious faith will be more likely to have a lower need for closure in relationships. Upon completion of this study and final data compilation you will find that our study will lean considerably towards our hypothesis.
