This document discusses the importance of including assessment in library projects. It advocates creating clear goals tied to strategic plans and measures of success before beginning a project. This allows projects to be adjusted or stopped if not working. Two examples are provided: a research help desk project and discovery evaluation. For each, goals and measures were set, then results like improved relations and justification for purchases were found through assessment. The document concludes by providing a project proposal template to formalize goal and measure planning.English 100 Library Research

What are the positive & negative effects of ultra thin and sexy models in magazines on self-esteem of young girls?
Research shows that one of the reasons for low self-esteem is as a result of poor body image; in consequences, low self-esteem occurs alongside depression, anxiety and eating disorders.

This document discusses ethics in qualitative research. It addresses common ethical issues like harming participants, informed consent, and respecting participant autonomy. The presenter provides examples of ethical dilemmas researchers may face regarding harm, participants' consent to how their data is used or represented, and treating participants equally. The presentation also covers developing a research philosophy, different claims of truth or validity in research, and implications for designing ethical studies.Social Psych- Social Cognition Group Project(2)-2

The document summarizes research from several studies on social cognition, including racism, prejudice, sexism, and stereotypes. One study found that African American professional men face obstacles but can overcome them by developing support structures. Another study found that white observers viewed lighter skinned people of color as more intelligent than darker skinned individuals. A third study demonstrated that people perceive prejudice as more acceptable from cohesive groups.DICK-THESIS-2015

The document summarizes a study that investigated how exposure to images of women in submissive or dominant poses affects women's interest in leadership positions. 53 female undergraduate students were randomly assigned to view either submissive or dominant media images of women. They then rated their desire to pursue three leadership roles and described their reactions. Those who viewed dominant poses were predicted to report higher desire for leadership roles than those who viewed submissive poses. Results revealed that women with lower self-esteem perceived more threats when exposed to dominant images, while the pattern was reversed for those with higher self-esteem. Women with lower agency perceived leadership more positively after seeing dominant images, whereas the pattern was reversed for those with higher agency. The study suggests individual differencesParticipants

Social identity theory proposes that people derive part of their self-concept from group memberships. It explains how social categorization and comparisons between in-groups and out-groups impact behavior. Several studies discussed provide evidence for this, such as Tajfel's finding that random groupings led to in-group favoritism, and research showing that threats to social identity increase stress levels and derogation of out-groups. However, the theory also has limitations, as some studies had low ecological validity or did not fully account for factors like poverty. Overall, social identity theory effectively explains phenomena like in-group bias, conformity, and intergroup conflict, though more research is still needed.Art 101 week 5 dq

1. Interviewing ethnic minorities presents considerations for researchers who do not belong to the ethnic minority group being studied. Access to respondents, issues of voice, and how respondents' answers are influenced by the researcher must be taken into account.
2. Researchers should be aware of cultural differences that may impact access, and build rapport with respondents to make them feel more comfortable. Respondent answers are also shaped by the perceived social roles and power dynamics between the researcher and respondent.
3. To accurately represent ethnic minority groups, researchers must recognize how their own backgrounds and biases could influence data interpretation and present the groups' perspectives without stereotyping. Understanding context is key to obtaining and analyzing responses.How to diversify science and why

This document summarizes a literature review on racial microaggressions experienced by students of color at historically white institutions and the impact on their mental health and college experience. The review examines themes in the literature around personal experiences with microaggressions, effects on mental health, and coping strategies used by students. While the data suggests microaggressions negatively impact students of color, the relationships are weak and more research is needed using valid instruments. The review recommends continued testing of instruments and providing social support spaces on campus for students of color.Speech 101 2016/17

RESEARCH IN THE WORKPLACE
Research in the workplace solves a problem. Tasked with a problem in the workplace,
you may be asked to gather the information necessary to fully understand the issue at
hand, solve that problem (or offer potential solutions), prove that your solutions are
viable, and/or test your solution(s).
Because research in the workplace focuses on addressing specific problems or issues,
finding the information you need may be a mixture of different avenues. Often, this
research will need to go beyond simply querying a library database or using Google. You
often will need to speak directly to target populations and audiences, and directly
contact resources and experts in different professions and in the community. You also
may need information in addition to or instead of scholarly resources. Local and national
journalism may add context and perspective. Professional experts, government agencies,
state, and local authorities all may be relevant sources. Additionally, asking your
individuals in target populations directly, for example through a survey, can also be a
valuable source of information. Essentially, research in the workplace requires you to
think critically and creatively about
The type of information you need; and
The best way to get that information.
Your job as a researcher is to address, explain, and/or solve a problem using the most
relevant and applicable methods and resources. If a resource can supply information you
need, then it is the right resource for the job.
Its also important when thinking about a problem youre researching to keep in mind
that you probably arent the first person or organization to deal with this issue. Look at
other organizations, groups, or communities negotiating the same or similar issue.
Research how those groups describe and deal with the problem. The perspective of
experience is invaluable to your work.
ASSIGNMENT
This project asks you to do workplace research into a local problem impacting USF or
the surrounding community. Your goal for this project is to describe a local problem in
detail using as much information as you can gather from as many different sources as are
useful. That means you are looking at research gathered by others (e.g., government
agencies, non-profit organizations, professional and academic experts, as well as local
sources from USF or the immediate community), but also you will gather your own data
by asking impacted population for their perspective by creating a survey. You will
produce a memo that reports your findings, giving readers a robust understanding of the
local problem you have researched.
To complete this project, you will choose a local problem occurring at USF or in the
community. You can select a problem from the list below or pick your own problem of a
similar nature.

Influence of the Media on Body Image
Abstract
Media images of the ideal body are prevalent in the contemporary society. These images are seen in ads, commercials, billboards, and magazines. For the longest time, there has been a continued interest in womens body image. Their eating habits, self-esteem and how these two aspects are affected by what a female sees in the media have been researched. Such a line of research is essential because discovering the link between the medias portrayal and poor image could allow for successful interventions to be implemented and evaluated (Harper & Tiggemann, 2008). In this regards, an intervention might lead to fewer cases of bulimia and anorexia and could also increase self-esteem and a sense of a more positive body image among females.
Majorly, this study aimed at substantiating the medias influence on body image. Forty-three Argosy University undergraduate students participated in the study voluntarily. The control subjects participated through filling out the BISS (Body Image States Scales). The experimental subjects showed 120-second power point presentation revealing media images of women followed by completing the BISS. The BISS included six questions that were rated on a Likert scale type, which inquired about the subjects feelings concerning their physical appearance. The study used data analysis from independent sample t-tests.
The analysis revealed that people who viewed the media images of females felt less physically attractive than those who were not exposed to the media presentation. Additionally, individuals who saw the media presentation felt worse regarding their looks compared with those that did not view the presentation. Additional findings suggested that attractiveness, satisfaction with their body and looks were not found to be significantly different. The questions that never revealed significant findings addressed more specific aspects of the body. For instance, body weight, shape and size.
Introduction
TV advertisements, magazines, and movies have always revealed the unattainable images of womens body. Many studies have indicated that the ways in which a females eating habits, body image, and self-esteem are affected negatively by what they see and hear from the media. According to Spitzer, Henderson & Zivian (1999), social endorsements in the media portraying an ideal body have escalated image disturbances among women and influenced the development of eating disorders. Moreover, Kasey (n.d) found that women who are exposed to appearance-related media seem less satisfied with their shapes compared with those exposed to non-appearance related media.
Many magazines tend to advise women to concentrate on their physical, outside attributes but fail to mention the significance o.Persuasive Essay Topics For High School.pdf

you may be asked to gather the information necessary to fully understand the issue at

viable, and/or test your solution(s).
Because research in the workplace focuses on addressing specific problems or issues,
finding the information you need may be a mixture of different avenues. Often, this

journalism may add context and perspective. Professional experts, government agencies,
state, and local authorities all may be relevant sources. Additionally, asking your
individuals in target populations directly, for example through a survey, can also be a
valuable source of information. Essentially, research in the workplace requires you to
think critically and creatively about
The type of information you need; and
The best way to get that information.
Your job as a researcher is to address, explain, and/or solve a problem using the most

need, then it is the right resource for the job.
Its also important when thinking about a problem youre researching to keep in mind
that you probably arent the first person or organization to deal with this issue. Look at
other organizations, groups, or communities negotiating the same or similar issue.
Research how those groups describe and deal with the problem. The perspective of
experience is invaluable to your work.

Influence of the Media on Body Image
Abstract
Media images of the ideal body are prevalent in the contemporary society. These images are seen in ads, commercials, billboards, and magazines. For the longest time, there has been a continued interest in womens body image. Their eating habits, self-esteem and how these two aspects are affected by what a female sees in the media have been researched. Such a line of research is essential because discovering the link between the medias portrayal and poor image could allow for successful interventions to be implemented and evaluated (Harper & Tiggemann, 2008). In this regards, an intervention might lead to fewer cases of bulimia and anorexia and could also increase self-esteem and a sense of a more positive body image among females.
Majorly, this study aimed at substantiating the medias influence on body image. Forty-three Argosy University undergraduate students participated in the study voluntarily. The control subjects participated through filling out the BISS (Body Image States Scales). The experimental subjects showed 120-second power point presentation revealing media images of women followed by completing the BISS. The BISS included six questions that were rated on a Likert scale type, which inquired about the subjects feelings concerning their physical appearance. The study used data analysis from independent sample t-tests.
The analysis revealed that people who viewed the media images of females felt less physically attractive than those who were not exposed to the media presentation. Additionally, individuals who saw the media presentation felt worse regarding their looks compared with those that did not view the presentation. Additional findings suggested that attractiveness, satisfaction with their body and looks were not found to be significantly different. The questions that never revealed significant findings addressed more specific aspects of the body. For instance, body weight, shape and size.
Introduction
TV advertisements, magazines, and movies have always revealed the unattainable images of womens body. Many studies have indicated that the ways in which a females eating habits, body image, and self-esteem are affected negatively by what they see and hear from the media. According to Spitzer, Henderson & Zivian (1999), social endorsements in the media portraying an ideal body have escalated image disturbances among women and influenced the development of eating disorders. Moreover, Kasey (n.d) found that women who are exposed to appearance-related media seem less satisfied with their shapes compared with those exposed to non-appearance related media.
Many magazines tend to advise women to concentrate on their physical, outside attributes but fail to mention the significance o.Persuasive Essay Topics For High School.pdf

The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APMs Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APMs PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMOs within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

Although Black American women typically report higher self and body esteem, and lower internalization of media ideals than White women, the extent to which specific media affinities are implicated in Black women's body image concerns remain unclear. The present survey study (n = 141) examines how young women's views of self and of female media personae predict body consciousness. Black women reported lower body surveillance, concern with others' approval, and wishful identification with a favorite media persona than White women. However, results of regression analyses showed that increased wishful identification with and decreased perceived similarity to favorite female media personae predicted body surveillance for all women (controlling for body mass index and self-esteem). Others' approval concerns predicted body concerns after accounting for all other study variables. Key ethnic distinctions did emerge as a function of body type and ethnicity of media personae.
