Item Relationship quality and its association with job satisfaction, quality of life, and mental health of first-responders.(2013-09-16) Adamson, Amber.; Morman, Mark T.; Communication.; Baylor University. Dept. of Communication.First-responder firefighters deal with a number of stressors as a routine part of their careers. The current study examined the association between relationship quality and the effects of stress experienced by first responder firefighters. Through the survey responses of 75 current firefighters, this study sought to extend previous research on firefighter emotional health by assessing the relationship between marital and friendship quality and firefighters’ reports of job satisfaction, quality of life, and mental health. Results indicate that both marital and friendship quality are significantly associated with a number of important issues related to the emotional health of first-responder firefighters.Item Rereading Zora Neale Hurston through the lens of "What white publishers won't print".(2013-05-15) Davis, Christy D.; Ford, Sarah Gilbreath, 1968-; English.; Baylor University. Dept. of English.During Zora Neale Hurston’s life, she wrote many controversial statements on race. Scholars continually suggest that Hurston was merely pandering to the white nation or tricking her audience. By using Hurston’s own explanation of “What White Publishers Won’t Print,” I examine the constraints and expectations put on Hurston’s writing. Hurston was expected to write stories about the exceptional Negroes who rise to success. While Hurston appears to write stories about the exceptional, the idea of the exceptional is undermined through her essay “The Pet Negro System.” Her characters are exceptional only because they are someone else’s pet. Thus, Hurston emphasizes the importance of relationship over race and exceptionality throughout Jonah’s Gourd Vine, Dust Tracks on a Road, and Seraph on the Suwannee.
