Scholastic Aptitude

Two word-association lists of 50 words were each administered to 50 Negro college students. 41 words were taken from the Kent-Rosanoff list, 29 from the Palermo-Jenkins list, and 30 were words used in analogy items of the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Comparisons with previous normative studies showed generally similar results. The present study did result in slightly smaller proportions of matching from class primary responses to noun, pronoun, and adverb stimulus words and of opposite responses to “opposite-evoking stimuli.” A number of the responses indicated reading difficulty or misunderstanding of the word.

Previous research has documented increases in racial tolerance of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons or LDS). In the present study, 211 LDS college students held predominantly tolerant attitudes on racial identity which were similar to those of 78 non-LDS peers; however, the LDS subjects expressed more naivete, curiosity, and confusion regarding black people and black culture.

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this exploratory study was to develop a survey to estimate college students’ attitudes towards dietary protein. This analysis explored the dimensionality of the attitude constructs in the Dietary Protein Assessment Survey Instrument. Methods The survey consisted of 64 questions, including 8 demographic questions, 24 knowledge questions, 14 attitude questions, and 18 behavior questions. The attitude questions included a 5-point Likert scale ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree” with a neutral midpoint. The dimensionality of the attitude constructs was explored by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using principal axis factoring and a promax rotation. Internal consistency reliability was examined using Cronbach's alpha. Results Two hundred twenty-five subjects (91.1% female) provided responses; mean age was 27.8 + 11.7y. After removing items that did not factor, the EFA retained three factors which explained 70.2% of the variance. Factor 1 consisted of 6 items, factor 2 and 3 consisted of 2 items each. Factor 1 included 6 items related to animal versus plant sources and their relationship with human and environmental health; factor 2 included 2 items pertaining to the healthfulness of organic protein sources; and factor 2 included 2 items describing the adequacy of the RDA for protein with respect to weight loss and adherence to a vegetarian diet. Factor 1 shared a moderate, positive relationship with factor 2 (r = 0.48) and a weak, inverse relationship with factor 3 (r = −0.33). Factor 2 shared a weak, inverse relationship with factor 3 (r = −0.30). The Kaiser-Meyer-Oklin test (0.817) and Bartlett's test of sphericity (P < 0.001) indicated that the data were appropriate for EFA. There was no evidence of multicollinearity (determinant = 0.01). Conclusions Attitudes towards protein appear to be multi-dimensional and correlated. Further testing is needed to confirm the hypothesized 3-factor model and to estimate test-retest reliability of this survey. Funding Sources Dymatize.

Social Media Platforms

Publically launched in 2013 and discontinued in 2017, Yik Yak was an anonymous and geographically restricted social media application. A uses and gratifications theoretical framework and a mixed-methods research design were selected for this exploratory study regarding differences between Yik Yak users and nonusers. College students ( n = 264) from a western university completed online surveys regarding Yik Yak in November of 2015. Results indicated that Yik Yak users were significantly younger than nonusers, and no significant differences were identified between Yik Yak users’ and nonusers’ reported time spent with other social media platforms (i.e., Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat). Qualitative results indicated that college students who used Yik Yak did so for informational, entertainment, agency-enhancement, and community-building purposes. Nonusers chose not to use Yik Yak because the application did not meet their needs, they were unaware of Yik Yak, and because of unfavorable content.
