Less Human Than Other Nurses: an Examination Of
LESS HUMAN THAN OTHER NURSES: AN EXAMINATION OF ATTRIBUTIONS OF HUMANNESS TOWARD AN OLDER ADULT IN LONG- TERM CARE by JOANNA DIEKER B.A., Pittsburg State University, 2014 A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Colorado Colorado Springs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Psychology 2017 ii This thesis for the Master of Arts degree by JoAnna Dieker has been approved for the Department of Psychology by Elizabeth Daniels, Chair Thomas Pyszczynski Judith Martin-Scott Date 12/6/2017 iii Dieker, JoAnna (M.A., Psychology) Less Human Than Other Nurses: An Examination of Attributions of Humanness Toward an Older Adult in Long-Term Care Thesis directed by Assistant Professor Elizabeth Daniels ABSTRACT The relationship between care recipient and care provider is central to the care recipient’s quality of life, yet relatively little is known about psychological factors that impact this relationship. Existing evidence suggests that infrahumanization of patients may reduce stress related to caring for those who are dying. Extending Terror Management Theory and infrahumanization research, the present research examined the effect of mortality salience and aging salience on perceptions of unique humanness attributed to an older adult relative to other nurses. Nursing majors at a university (n = 96) and adults with a background in nursing (n = 95) were asked to write about their own death, someone they know who has experienced decline and challenges during old age, or dental pain (control). They then rated themselves, other nurses, and an older adult on uniquely human traits, uniquely human emotions, and compassion. -

Eisele* I understand [philosophy 1 as a willingness to think not about some thing other than what ordinary human beings think about, but rather to learn to think undistractedly about things that ordinary human beings cannot help thinking about, or anyway cannot help having occur to them, sometimes in fantasy, sometimes asa flash across a landscape; such things, for example, as whether we can know the world as it is in itself, or whether others really know the nature of one's own experiences, or whether good and bad are relative, or whether we might not now be dreaming that we are awake, or whether modern tyrannies and weapons and spaces and speeds and art are continuous with the past of the human race or discontinuous, and hence whether the learning of the human race is not irrelevant to the problems it has brought before itself. -
Mortality Salience Effects Fail to Replicate in Traditional and Novel Measures
Revised version of manuscript under review at Meta-Psychology. See full editorial process here: http://tinyurl.com/mp-submissions Participate in open peer review by commenting on this preprint in https://hypothes.is Mortality salience effects fail to replicate in traditional and novel measures Bjørn Sætrevik 1 & Hallgeir Sjåstad 2, 3 1: Operational psychology research group, Department for psychosocial science, Faculty of Psychology, University of Bergen 2: SNF - Centre for Applied Research at NHH 3: Department of Strategy and Management, Norwegian School of Economics Abstract Mortality salience (MS) effects, where death reminders lead to ingroup-bias and defensive protection of one’s worldview, have been claimed to be a fundamental human motivator. MS phenomena have ostensibly been identified in several hundred studies within the “terror management theory” framework, but transparent and high-powered replications are lacking. We performed an Experiment 1 (N = 101 Norwegian lab participants) to replicate the traditional MS effect on national patriotism, with additional novel measures of democratic values and pro-sociality. Experiment 2 (N = 784 US online participants) aimed to replicate the MS effect on national patriotism in a larger sample, with ingroup identification and pro-sociality as additional outcome measures. The results showed that neither experiment replicated the traditional MS effect on national patriotism. The experiments also failed to support conceptual replications and underlying mechanisms on different democratic values, -

Not Falling, Not Obscuring: Dogen and the Two Truths of the Fox Koan
NOT FALLING, NOT OBSCURING: DOGEN AND THE TWO TRUTHS OF THE FOX KOAN ________________________________________________________________________ A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ________________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ________________________________________________________________________ By Patrick H. Wyant January, 2013 Thesis Approvals: Shigenori Nagatomo, Thesis Advisor, Religion Marcus Bingenheimer, Religion ABSTRACT Within recent Japanese Buddhist scholarship there is a debate over the interpretation of Karmic causality evidenced in the 75 and 12 fascicle editions of Dōgen‟s Shōbōgenzō, one salient example being that found in the daishugyō and shinjin inga fascicles on the fox kōan from the mumonkon. At issue is whether a Buddhist of great cultivation transcends karmic causality, with the earlier daishugyō promoting a balanced perspective of both “not falling into” and “not obscuring” causality, while shinjin inga instead strongly favors the latter over the former. Traditionalists interpret the apparent reversal in shinjin inga as an introductory simplification to aid novices, while some Critical Buddhists see Dōgen as instead returning to the orthodox truth of universal causality. I argue that Dōgen philosophically favored the view found in daishugyō, but moved away from it in his later teachings due to misinterpretations made by both senior and novice monks alike. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................... -
Mortality Salience Increases Death-Anxiety for Individuals Low in Personal Need for Structure

However, recent research indi- established social and cultural structures that provide them cates that it is people high, but not low, in personal need for a meaningful and enduring sense of self. Consistent with structure that turn to social and cultural structures in this, a large body of research has demonstrated that prim- response to heightened death cognition. Such findings ing death (mortality salience; MS) increases investment in suggest that people low in PNS may be vulnerable to and defense of established meaning and self-transcendence experiencing death-anxiety when death thoughts are acti- providing social and cultural structures (e.g., one’s nation vated.

World of Darkness Mummy in the Sands of the Kingdom of Khem, in Times Long Forgotten, a War Began
World of Darkness Mummy In the sands of the kingdom of Khem, in times long forgotten, a war began. The lands were ruled by the Pharoah Osiris, and his wife Isis. Osiris's brother Set coveted the throne, and for his machinations was banished. Thus Osiris ruled benevolently over his peaceful kingdom, that is until a stranger came. This stranger, named Typhon, arrived wishing an audience with Osiris. Osiris accepted him and spoke of a comind darkness and war. Typhon and Osiris met on the eve of the full moon for four months. On the dawn after their fourth meeting Osiris was discovered ill and near death, pale and bloodless on his chamber floor. But true death did not come for Osiris. He rose, stronger and more powerful than ever, but pale and cold still. None knew wether Osiris chose undeath or had it thrust upon him, but for three hundred years he ruled thusly. Soon another visitor appeared, however, named Thoth, who would teach the mystical arts to both Isis and her sister Nephtys. He would soon depart as abruptly and mysteriously as Typhon. This heralded the return of Set, now a creature of darkness like Osiris. He would trap Osiris in a coffin and cast him into the Nile. And though Isis and her son Horus would retrieve it, Set captured them and tore Osiris into 13 pieces and cast his parts across the sands of Khem. He tortured Isis and Horus, plucking out Horus's eye taking his Ba or vital force. Horus withered away, kept alive solely by the ministrations of Isis's magic. -

ARTICLES VIRTUE AND ADVICE: SOCRATIC PERSPECTIVES ON LAWYER INDEPENDENCE AND MORAL COUNSELING OF CLIENTS By: Michael S. McGinniss† ABSTRACT This Article examines the ethical and moral responsibilities of lawyers in their role as advisors to clients, with continual reference to the Greek philoso- pher Socrates.* Although Socrates was not a lawyer, he was an “advisor,” who lived a life committed to engaging in dialogue about virtue and its mean- ing and, at times, about the law and one’s duties in relation to the law. Ac- cording to Rule 2.1 of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, when representing clients and acting as advisors, lawyers are expected to “exercise independent professional judgment” and “render candid advice,” which in- cludes authority to counsel clients on moral considerations relevant to their legal situation.
