The Impact

A follow-up study of a three-week, university sponsored death and dying symposium was conducted in order to measure attitudes of nonattendees toward the symposium and the impact that they felt the symposium had on them personally. The findings showed a declining taboo regarding death education. In addition, the results of the study indicate a “ripple effect” in which individuals are affected by a death education program even though they do not attend it. In the present study, these effects were different for students than for faculty and staff. Implications for death educators are discussed.

Science Activities

Science clubs are programs that allow people (especially children and youngsters) to meet regularly outside of school programs and engage with science and technology activities. Clubs encourage participants to foster attitudes, capabilities, and knowledge related to STEM fields with the goal of promoting interest and passion about science. As such programs provide big opportunities to improve the impact of public communication of science activities, it is really important to look at the impacts of such programs. Quark Group runs the Children Science Club since 2002, and up to 2016, it developed science recreation activities with 711 children and young people. In order to establish the influence the club had on its participants, we conducted a survey that provided 244 answers. This article presents the findings of this follow-up study.

The Impact

A follow-up study on feat of success was completed 19 years after Horner collected her data in 1968. It was hypothesized that cultural changes relating to women's liberation would result in fewer women and more men exhibiting fear of success compared to Horner's findings. 25 men and 25 women were tested using Horner's procedures to facilitate comparisons. A higher percentage of men exhibited fear of success than Horner reported; however, the percentage of women remained about the same. Apparently, the impact of societal changes on men has been greater than on women.
