Competing Narratives of Alcohol Addiction
This study looked at the competing narratives and explanation for alcohol addiction imbedded within the story, evaluated the fidelity and coherence of the two narratives, and how each of the narratives reached their audiences. From the two narratives, a coexisting narrative was formed to better account for the multiple explanations regarding alcohol addiction.

Power Differentials Between Genders
This study was completed to show how each gender responds to the display of power by resident assistants at a university. An experiment was conducted that included 10 students who lived on campus. An original hypothesis stated that female students would respond positively when asked to complete a task, whereas male students would respond positively when ordered to complete a task. After conducting the study, data confirmed the hypothesis for females but wasn’t supported for males.

The College Students’ Car Buying Experience
The majority of the population remembered the degrading feeling of purchasing their first automobile & probably spent hours online looking for a reasonably priced cars that weren’t completely outdated, or test drove a lot of poor quality cars that before finding the one.
Through a brief survey to NCU students who have been through the experience of buying their first car, the results will reveal what brand, color, & year of car are most popular. The ideal results will highlight the aspects that students think are the most important when deciding what car to buy.
