  • A Case Study Utilizing Music
    THE EVOLVING SELF: A CASE STUDY UTILIZING MUSIC LYRICS TO STUDY EGO IDENTITY by KENT STEWART MICHAEL STEVE THOMA, COMMITTEE CHAIR DEBORAH CASPER SARA TOMEK JAMES JACKSON RICK HOUSER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Studies in Psychology, Research Methodology, and Counseling in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2019 Copyright Kent Stewart Michael 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Musicians have written about developmental transitions and the associated struggles for as long as language has been acquired and they have had the means by which to document their lyrics. Modern lyricists have ached about childhood and yearned for home as they enter young adulthood, while others have been preoccupied with romantic interests gained and lost during adolescence and beyond. Some musicians have even delved into questioning social issues, theological paradigms, decisions made by governments, and moral dilemmas in lyrics. Regardless of the developmental crisis being discussed, lyrics have been a medium in which musicians have publicly wrestled with their existential existence. Unfortunately, there is lack of representation in analyzing musical lyrics and other forms of pop culture for personality development in psychological research. This study illustrates a procedure for coding manifestations of three psychosocial stages in music lyrics from an artist’s first album to the most recent album. More specifically, identity, intimacy, and generativity themes were analyzed in John Mayer’s lyrics written during his adolescence, young adulthood, and emerging middle adulthood. Erik Erikson’s psychosocial stage theory is utilized to explain Mayer’s personality at the time each album was released and the development of personality over time.

Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk What is the energy Simone needs for the move? To perform the ‘Biles’, Simone needs to travel and spin. Her take-off energy therefore needs to incorporate these two elements: [1] 퐸푘 푡푎푘푒-표푓푓 = 퐸푘 푙푛푒푎푟 + 퐸푘 푟표푡푎푡표푛푎푙 We can break this equation down a bit by considering that she moves up and forward: [2] 퐸푘 푡푎푘푒-표푓푓 = 퐸푘 푣푒푟푡푐푎푙 + 퐸푘 ℎ표푟푧표푛푡푎푙 + 퐸푘 푟표푡푎푡표푛푎푙 To simplify the problem, we assume that the gymnast is a point mass, i.e. the gymnast is just a point particle. If you wanted to do a more accurate job, you could model each segment of the gymnast separately and combine the values appropriately in a global reference frame (figure 1). Kinetic energy is dependent on the speed and the mass of a body: 1 [3] 퐸 = 푚푣2 푘 푙푛푒푎푟 2 Equation 3 is for linear energy and we will use that equation to calculate 퐸푘 푣푒푟푡푐푎푙 and 퐸푘 ℎ표푟푧표푛푡푎푙. In the ‘Biles’, there are two rotations about Simone’s somersaulting axis and a half rotation about her twisting axis.

  • The Simple Physics of Soccer
    The Simple Physics of Soccer The Simple Physics of Soccer by ReadWorks Everyone knows that kicking a soccer ball causes it to roll across the grass. But what makes this happen? What is required to make the ball move faster? What's the difference, in other words, between passing the soccer ball to a teammate and shooting for the goal? Kicking a ball may seem simple, but physicists spent years trying to figure out why objects move the way they do. What they discovered is that kicking a soccer ball requires applying force to the surface of the ball. The greater the force, the faster the ball will go, and the further it will travel. How much force you apply to the ball, that is, will often determine whether you score a goal or not. The combination of force and distance equals what is called "work." In this case, we don't mean the noun form of work, like a job. We are talking about work as a verb, as a form of action. Work can be taking out the trash or cleaning dishes in your house. Furniture movers work by carrying chairs and tables out of one apartment and into another. If the first apartment is on the second floor and the second apartment is on the fourth floor, carrying the furniture into the second apartment will require about twice as much work as the first. Keep in mind that force and work are not the same things as energy. Energy comes in several forms. But the best way to understand it is as something that creates the ability to do work.

  • A Metaphorical Analysis of John Mayer's Album Continuum By
    Stop this Train: A Metaphorical Analysis of John Mayer’s Album Continuum by Joshua Beal A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Major Subject: Communication West Texas A&M University Canyon, Texas August 2017 ABSTRACT John Mayer’s album Continuum is his third studio album and includes some of his best work. This analysis used a five-step metaphorical approach, as referenced to Ivie (1987), to understand the rhetorical invention of Mayer’s album Continuum and to interpret the metaphorical concepts employed by Mayer. This analysis discovered six tenors: Peace, Spirit, Darkness, Hope, Violence, and Cruelty and their accompanying vehicles. Rhetorical techniques in Mayer’s lyrics can be associated to references to nature, contrasting abstract with concrete terms, and the use of opposites (God/Devil terms). Continuum is an album that incorporates the trials and tribulations of romantic relationships using a combination of blues, soul, and contemporary pop music to underscore the lyrics. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my thesis chair, Dr. Trudy Hanson, and her constant efforts to guide me through an adventure that I will never forget. This experience is as rewarding as it is special to me and I couldn’t have done this without you. I would also like to express my appreciation to the members of my committee, Dr. Jessica Mallard, and Randy Ray. My experience as a graduate student is an experience that I will cherish, and the memories I have collected are priceless. I would also like to express my gratitude to my parents, Raymond and Mary Laura Beal, and my brother, Austin Beal, for their continued support throughout this journey.

In 2001 he released the album Room for Squares, and two years later, Heavier Things. Both albums were commercially successful, multiplatinum albums that spawned several hits, including Grammy- winning songs like "Your Body Is a Wonderland" and "Daughters." Having established himself in adult contemporary rock, Mayer broadened the scope of his sound to incorporate the blues, forming the John Mayer Trio in the mid 2000s. In 2015 he collaborated with Grateful Dead's Bob Wear to form the touring band Dead & Company. Background and Early Career John Clayton Mayer was born on October 16, 1977 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the middle child of parents Richard and Margaret, who were both teachers. Mayer became interested in learning guitar after seeing Michael J. Fox’s guitar in Back to the Future. After listening to a cassette tape of blues artist Stevie Ray Vaughn, Mayer began growing his love for the genre, listening to other blues artists such as Otis Rush, B.B King, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Buddy Guy. In 1997 Mayer enrolled at Berklee College of Music but quit two semesters later with his friend Clay Cook.
