Determining the Relationship Between Weight Dissatisfaction and Attention to Calories

Didden, Eleanor 01 January 2019 (has links)
Laws which require the display of calorie information on menus are becoming more prominent throughout the United States and the world, but the efficacy of this information has not yet been studied on an individual level. An Eyetracker and two menus (which were identical save for the inclusion or exclusion of caloric information) were utilized to determine how much time college-aged women spent looking at calories. We also gathered their personal measure of weight dissatisfaction using a body image scale and participants’ self-reported weight dissatisfaction. Using random assignment, 22 participants were placed in the experimental group and 25 participants were placed in the control group. Analysis of the Eyetracker data showed that calories on the menu did have an effect on both the amount of time that participants spent looking at calories, and on the number of fixations they made on the calories. There were significant negative correlations between the participants' time spent viewing and their appetizer and entree choices on the experimental menu, indicating that participants select lower calorie menu items when they spend more time looking at calories. The data will be further explored in future analysis; the results also indicate that additional research into multiple different directions could be beneficial.

Introducing Mr Perky : subverting the fantasy trope of immortality in contemporary speculative fiction

Ryan, Jennifer Joan January 2009 (has links)
The Tide Lords series of fantasy novels set out to examine the issue of immortality. Its purpose was to look at the desirability of immortality, specifically why people actively seek it. It was meant to examine the practicality of immortality, specifically — having got there, what does one do to pass the time with eternity to fill? I also wished to examine the notion of true immortality — immortals who could not be killed. What I did not anticipate when embarking upon this series, and what did not become apparent until after the series had been sold to two major publishing houses in Australia and the US, was the strength of the immortality tropes. This series was intended to fly in the face of these tropes, but confronted with the reality of such a work, the Australian publishers baulked at the ideas presented, requesting the series be re-written with the tropes taken into consideration. They wanted immortals who could die, mortals who wanted to be immortal. And a hero with a sense of humour. This exegesis aims to explore where these tropes originated. It will also discuss the ways I negotiated a way around the tropes, and was eventually able to please the publishers by appearing to adhere to the tropes, while still staying true to the story I wanted to tell. As such, this discussion is, in part, an analysis of how an author negotiates the tensions around writing within a genre while trying to innovate within it.
