Discourse analysis, Narrative.

Belongings hybridizes photography, sculpture, and printmaking through new laser
technology. The exhibited work communicates a lingering sense of homesickness and
maps a path through the objects discovered in my father’s wallet shortly after his passing.

The practice of evaluating situations with the Riverside Situational Q-Sort (RSQ:Wagerman & Funder, 2009) is relatively new. The present study aimed to investigate the theoretical framework supporting the RSQ with regards to the potential confounds of emotional state and the use of Likert-type ratings. Data were collected from a sample of Florida Atlantic University students (N = 206). Participants were primed for either a positive or negative mood state and asked to evaluate a situation with the RSQ in either the Q-Sort or Likert-type response format. Results suggested that response format has a significant influence on RSQ evaluations, but mood and the interaction between mood
and response format do not. Exploratory analyses were conducted to determine the underlying mechanisms responsible.
