Drinking Habits on College Campuses

Drinking on college campuses can be a widespread problem. NCU is a small liberal arts college, which is right next to a larger public university, U of O. U of O campus has fraternities and sororities that tend to have higher rates of drinking. NCU does not have those environments, so there is likely not as much drinking. NCU campus is a Christian environment, which could have an impact. A survey was given to students at both campuses in order to gather information on their drinking habits. That information was compared to see the differences in drinking habits between schools.

The business life cycle is dependent on both internal and external factors. Such factors include the importance of accurate forecasting, informed marketing, correct production levels, and developing a product that will continuously stand the test of time. Investments and financing also determine the financial health and stability of the business. Our strategy was to sell both high and low tech products with the best quality for the lowest possible price. This presentation will explore a comprehensive breakdown of how such factors were applied to our business strategy in a realistic simulation against five other businesses selling very similar products.

Exploring Religiosity and Spirituality of Men and Women

A major portion of research suggests that women tend to be more religious than men. Biological, cognitive, cultural, behavioral, and environmental influences may support the increased religiosity in women as compared to men. Women are most often more social than men; they value praying and reading religious texts in groups in contrast to men. Innate preferences for social activities may lead women to naturally be more religious considering religiousness is often measured by the amount of social activities centered on faith. It is important to consider these gender differences because religiousness relates to better health and well-being.

The Effects of Color When Purchasing Chocolate

Colors are influential as each color is believed to evoke specific emotions and feelings. Research has shown that males and females like the color blue. This study measured the impact of color on decisions to purchase chocolate bars. It was expected that participants would select the blue wrapped chocolate bar more frequently. Students from NCU (n = 31) completed a questionnaire rating quality and attractiveness of chocolate bars in colored wrappers. The result showed that brown was the preferred color wrapper. Understanding the effect of color perception on decision making is important for marketing.
