Death Literacy in a United States Community
This study investigated death literacy within a United States (U.S.) community using the Death Literacy Index (DLI). Aims: (1) establish benchmark DLI and subscale scores, (2) examine demographic variability, end-of-life (EOL) experience, and spirituality, (3) assess psychometric properties of DLI. A cross-sectional survey using the DLI was conducted with a community convenience sample. The sample (n = 367) was 75% White, 70% female, with a mean …
Exploring the Impacts of an Art and Narrative Therapy Program on Participants’ Grief and Bereavement Experiences
Grief and bereavement impact nearly every individual at some point of their lives, often having short or long-term physical and psychosocial impacts. Yet, these issues are rarely the focus of discussion, intensive therapy programs, or policy initiatives (Corr, 2002; Doka, 2002). This research explores the impacts of a closed group art and narrative therapy program in Ontario for individuals experiencing a grief or bereavement process following th…
Student engagement in the educational interface
Student success and retention continue to be of concern for higher education institutions. Wider participation, combined with lower completion rates for non-traditional students, highlights the need for new ways of understanding the student experience to ground policy and practice. This article provides this insight by drawing together a number of key constructs to refine a recent framework of student engagement. We argue that the transition meta…

The Effect of Music Amplitude on the Reaction to Unexpected Visual Events
The effects of music amplitude on participants' response time to randomly presented, unexpected, visual events were investigated. Ninety participants completed a motor-reaction task without music and with music played at 60, 70, or 80 dBA. Males preferred more intense music than females did, with males selecting a comfort level of 72 dBA and females, 66 dBA. However, participants' reaction time and the total time to respond to a randomly activate…
Bringing Fokine to Light
While valuing freedom of movement as the sine qua non for making dance expressive, his overriding goal, Michel Fokine nonetheless maintained that a dance could be beautiful only if it followed “the rigid laws that govern the creation of one of Shakespeare's sonnets.” As far as Fokine was concerned, setting dances was “all pure brain work, extracting and using the magical harmonies and rhythms that lie hidden in nature.” The “natural law” of chore…
