Transcript: For my dissertation topic, I have chosen to look into the use of psychology in advertising. I have chosen this as I think that it is interesting to learn about different techniques used by advertising companies to sell us products, both obvious, and bordering on subliminal. Examples of psychology in advertising I intend to discover whether psychology in advertising is an innocent marketing tool or whether it is a form of manipulation, to play on the emotions of the consumer. The history of psychology in advertising How it has changed throughout the years Psychology to sell 'bad' products - tobacco/alcohol etc. Psychology to sell products to children - unethical? Whether psychology in advertising is manipulative or just a form of marketing. The future of psychology within advertising What is psychology in advertising? What is psychology? Psychology is the scientific study of mental functions and behaviors with the immediate goal of understanding individuals and groups. Psychology in Advertising Advertisements that play on your emotions and relationships (inducing feelings of inadequacy) How I will research Psychology in Advertising American Psychological Association - Papers/Journals Adbusters - Kalle Lasn, co-founder - Likened psychological methods to 'brainwashing experiments' Commercial Alert - Website about culture Soap, Sex and Cigarettes - Cultural history of American Advertising.

Interviews My Research Questions. Found that lots of disabled people had to leave gigs and clubs early because of their support workers. Looks at important issues in society for disabled people. Participation -using community facilities and attending community events and activities alongside other members of society. References 1. What are staff attitudes around the participation of learning disabled adults in mainstream nightlife activities? Policies say that people should be free to choose how to live their lives and control over their lives. Questionnaires handed out physically and completed online. Practicalities My Sample Change staff attitudes. Interviewee's recruited via questionnaires - voluntary. Mainstream Nightlife Activities - Social life or entertainment activities that take place in society in the evening and late into the night. This can include, but is not limited to, the theatre, nightclubs and bars. Attitudes - a set way of thinking or feeling about something.

Transcript: ENGINEERS: A PHEONOMENOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE EXPERIENCES OF MALE PERSISTENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION Introduction Research Problem “Improving education in math and science is about producing engineers and researchers and scientists and innovators who are going to help transform our economy and our lives for the better.” – President Barack Obama Statement of the Problem Of great importance to the future of the United States economy is for higher education to produce and graduate more engineering students. There is a significant demand for engineers in the country and currently, the largest population of engineering students is male. Male students are not persisting and are not graduating at the rate they should. Kuzmak (2010) researched female engineers and concluded that pre-entry attributes, institutional experiences, and academic interactions (Tinto, 1994) with peers and faculty positively impact persistence in the engineering discipline. She recommended, in 2010, focusing on fewer attributes of Tinto’s (1994) retention model.... She further recommended the research be extended beyond females and minority students... Purpose Statement The purpose of this phenomenological study will be to understand persistence for male engineering students in higher education. At this state in the research, persistence is defined as the act of continuing steadily despite problems, obstacles, or difficulties (Tinto, 1994). Research Questions 1. What role do academic systems influences, which include academic performance and faculty interactions, play in males’ student persistence in engineering? 2. What role do social system influences, which include peer interactions and extracurricular activities, play in males’ student persistence in engineering? Literature Review Mann (1907) researched the present conditions of engineering education, sought out problems within engineering education, and provided a detailed summary of solutions. The Wickenden Study (1920) “was the most extensive ever undertaken of engineering education, making an effort to involve every American engineering school, representative of American industry, and the major professional engineering societies in all stages from data gathering to analysis to implementation of recommendations” (Marcus, 2005, p. 61). The Grinter Report (1955) recommended landmark enhancements to engineering curriculum. Those included the development of basic sciences in the curriculum, engineering analysis, design, and creative thinking (www.abet.org). Accreditation and Curriculum. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) provides strict guidelines for baccalaureate level degree programs in engineering. Criterion 1. Students. Criterion 2. Program Educational Objectives. Criterion 3. Student Outcomes. Criterion 4. Continuous Improvement. Criterion 5. Curriculum. Criterion 6. Faculty. Criterion 7. Facilities. Criterion 8. Institutional Support. The population of engineering students was 420,685 in 2010, while 81.9% are males and females make up only 18.1% of the population (Gibbons, 2010). (Seymour and Hewitt (1997) found the difficulty of the majors, ...grades and grade point averages were listed by 23% of the students as to why students changed majors ...the weed-out mentality in S.M.E. majors to be prominent and students felt that the academic system was set up to get them to change majors... A phenomenological study attempts “to understand the meaning of events and interactions to ordinary people in particular situations” (Bogdan & Biklen, 2003). The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study is to understand the persistence of male undergraduate engineering students in higher education. The data will be collected through one-on-one, in person interviews...this will provide an opportunity to ask open-ended questions and gather specific stories and perspectives from the participants (Creswell, 2009). The findings will be written in narrative form and will seek to bring the participants’ stories to life. The findings will be listed under three analyses: the participants, the extracurricular inventory, and the interviews. Questions!?! Methodology
