As college students progress through their academic career they begin to form an identity. Their identity then balances their intrapersonal, interpersonal, and cognitive abilities (Jones and Abes 2004). A college education has also been theorized to act as a protective factor from offending, or a factor that can promote desistance from crime (Hirschi 1969). Does the self-concept of college students influence their offending behavior? The purpose of this topic is to conduct a narrative study, to explore the life course development that college students have undergone before attending college, as well as what their current life course (life path) is, and their vision for post-college life.

Most scholars, following the analysis of Max Weber, agree that the modern notions of "using time wisely" emerged in the eighteenth century. This "economy of time" came out of a cultural milieu that was strongly influenced by both the Enlightenment and ascetic religious movements (English Puritanism, German Pietism, French Jansenism). This project closely studies the discourse surrounding the courtly entertainments (hunting, the theater, gambling) as a way to better understanding the emergence of this "economy of time." While both the early Enlightenment and ascetic religious groups argued that courtly entertainments were problematic, they did so for quite different reasons.

This research explored the roles of health-efficacy, body-esteem, and perfectionism on the eating patterns of male and female psychology major college students in Northern California, and found that college students with low body-esteem and high levels of perfectionism tended to have a higher risk for abnormal eating patterns, R2=.60, F(3,61)=11.39, p<.001. Health-efficacy and perfectionism where not found to significantly influence eating patterns, R2=.03, F(2,62)=1.10, p=.34. Body-esteem was found to be the most significant contributor to abnormal eating patterns, b*=.58, t=5.56, p<.001, suggesting body-esteem is an important factor in examining eating patterns in college students.

The Health-Efficacy Scale for College Students (HESCS) assesses an individual’s belief in their capacity to change their own health. This investigation examined the psychometric properties of the HESCS by examining reliability and validity with a sample of psychology major students at a small University in northern California. Reliability was examined by utilizing internal consistency with a Cronbach’s alpha, rα=.82, and a test-retest separated by one-week on a subsample of 20 participants, rtt=.77. HESCS was shown to have convergent validity, R2=.32, F(2,98)=23.13, p<.01. These results show that the HESCS is a reliable and valid scale for measuring Health-Efficacy in College Students.

Our project reviews teaching practices associated with undergraduate literary journal editing in other colleges and universities. We translate our findings by recommending new projects and directions for *Toyon: Multilingual Journal of Literature and Art,* based on examples of what other campuses are doing. This project contributes to Humboldt State University's focus on undergraduate publishing and hands-on learning experiences to prepare students for professions in editing, design, production, and writing for audiences beyond the university.

What happens when a planned economy is based on an unplanned economy? In this bibliographical project, we collected sources from all around the world relating to capitalist business and manufacturing in the first decades of the People's Republic of China. This project breaks new ground in historical studies of the early PRC by reexamining the relationship between the Communist Party-State and those capitalists who survived the transition to socialism. With over 500 entries, this is the largest collection of materials on capitalists and private enterprise in Communist China and will most certainly be an aid to any researcher, professional or in-training.

The Humboldt Room special collections at the Humboldt State University Library contains a large collection of delicate and vintage historical maps. Taking action to make searching the archive easier as well as to preserve the fragile status of historical maps has become a necessity. This can be accomplished by creating a “web-based digital map archive” and supplanting it with a Web Map component that allows users to search and download from the digital map archive.This poster introduces the concept of converting the map collection to a digital format, the methods used for developing an interactive web map, and the future status of the project.

The research project has been developed to investigate what the relationship is between early education students, teachers, living plants inside and outside the classroom, and the environment outside the windows. The research project surveys 32 center-based programs among rural and urban early education programs to produce quantitative and qualitative data for a research project that will support a blog site. The blog site will include curriculum plans, activities and images supporting incorporation of plants in children’s environments and children’s interactions with natural materials and playscapes.

I received the Undergraduate Research and Creative Award in Fall of 2015, and as per the requirements of the grant I am to present my work at IdeaFest this coming April. It is a children's story nearing the end of its production, and will mostly be a stationary display or booth where I'll gladly do Q&A about the process, where I'd like to see it go, and so forth.

The threat of sea level rise and tsunamis make the future of the Humboldt Bay in Northern California an uncertain situation. Modifications to the landscape of the bay have made many cultural resources more vulnerable to climate change and hazard events, based on their location, due to crumbling infrastructure that is likely to fail in holding back the tide. Protection of these resources can be expanded once an inventory of vulnerable resources is collected. Data has been collected from projections of future coastal inundation and from inventories of cultural resources.
