b'How Artwork is Interpreted as a Function of Gender of the ArtistKaren Ramirez Rubio, Jessi Salas, Bryonna Stokes, Tyime Spann, Niyla Hayes-Winslow and Anthony T. WrightSponsor: Dr. Charles R. Talor, Department of PsychologyThe purpose of the present study is to examine how men and women show similarities and differences in how they interpret works of art when the artwork is attributed to a male or female artist. Earlier research suggests than when adults view artwork attributed to a male, they value that artwork higher in terms of quality, aesthetics, importance, and monetary values than if they believe the artwork was produced by a female. The current set of paintings which will be judged consist of both abstract and modern paintings from the mid- and- late 20th century. We anticipate obtaining ratings for the aforementioned qualities by a total of 100 undergraduate students at the conclusion of the study.Gender Differences in Smartphone App Use by Undergraduate StudentsJessi Salas, Karen R. Rubio, Bryonna Stokes, Tyime Spann, Niyla H. Winslow and Anthony T. WrightSponsor: Dr. Charles R. Talor, Department of PsychologySmartphones are ubiquitous in modern society. The present study examined gender differences in how men and women used their smartphones. Participants were 153 men and women undergraduate students at VSU. Men used their phones to access movies and news more often than women, as well as using dating sites and gambling (p .01). No gender differences were observed in downloading apps, downloading class notes, listening to music or making payments online. While men and women appear to use the same types of activities on their cell phones, mens frequency of use was higher across many domains of entertainment, news and dating. Men and women were similar in frequency of smartphone app use in more common and chore-like activities.92'
