The primary goal of this study was to investigate the habits of college students who use pornography. The study was designed to collect data on the use of online pornography by college students. Through the use of an online survey, the study collected general demographic data and data on the frequency with which students used online pornography. The study also collected data on the general attitudes of college students towards online pornography. Participants consisted of students enrolled at the University of North Texas during the Spring 2016 semester. The participants of the study were contacted by an email requesting the student to respond to an online anonymous survey regarding their use of online pornography. The survey consisted of thirty questions and statements, primarily utilizing a five point Likert scale. Analysis of the data collected as well as a discussion of the findings are included.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Felice Balzano.pdf: 2096823 bytes, checksum: 7ee8fc860a212e76d2c6c16c733a08bb (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-07 / The thesis dogmatically analyzes the prohibition of the venire contra factum proprium − created and widely developed in current civil procedural law, and integral of the general objective good faith clause. The interest in the theme emerged from an important gap in the scientific field, considering that the rule that foresees the prohibition of contradictory behavior is separately positived in the procedural legal order, appearing as ratio decidendi in several precedents of the Brazilians courts, especially of the Superior Courts, and which culminated in the formation of a substantial jurisprudential construction. That is to say there is the prescriptive language of the norm involving the prohibition of contradictory behavior in the process, with wide applicability, however there is not enough descriptive metalanguage relative to it. This vertiginous growth in the intensity of use of the institute in the Brazilian legal scenario has also brought about a side effect, only justified in the absence of a solid scientific basis, which is the lack of criterion at the moment of application of the norm. Natural it may be, since while the activity of the courts provides the conduct standard to be followed by the society, the scientific production provides guidance for the courts to properly apply the norm to the particular case. This is the ideal legitimating environment for a deeper delineation of the dogmatic aspects of the institute, covering its genesis, its requirements, legal nature, efficacy, content, and incidence hypotheses / A tese analisa dogmaticamente a vedação ao venire contra factum proprium – criada e amplamente desenvolvida no direito processual civil atual, e integrante da cláusula geral da boa-fé objetiva. O interesse no tema aflorou a partir de uma importante lacuna existente no campo científico, considerando-se que a norma que prevê a vedação ao comportamento contraditório está positivada de forma abjuntiva no ordenamento jurídico de cariz processual, figurando como ratio decidendi em diversos precedentes dos tribunais brasileiros, principalmente das Cortes Superiores, e que culminou com a formação de uma substancial construção jurisprudencial. É dizer, existe a linguagem prescritiva da norma envolvendo a proibição do comportamento contraditório no processo, com ampla aplicabilidade, todavia não há suficiente metalinguagem descritiva a ela relativa. Esse vertiginoso crescimento na intensidade de utilização do instituto no cenário jurídico brasileiro trouxe também um efeito colateral, somente justificado na ausência de uma sólida base científica, que é a falta de critério no momento de aplicação da norma. Natural que assim seja, pois enquanto a atividade dos tribunais fornece a pauta de conduta a ser seguida para a sociedade, a produção científica fornece orientação para que os tribunais apliquem adequadamente a norma ao caso concreto. Esse é o ambiente legitimador ideal de um delineamento mais profundo acerca dos aspectos dogmáticos do instituto, abrangendo sua gênese, seus requisitos, natureza jurídica, eficácia, conteúdo e hipóteses de incidência
