While placed in an anxiety provoking task, the participants received either a supportive or ambiguous note from their partners. Following the receipt of this note, the participants were given an opportunity to select information about their partners that they would presumably attend to. The results indicated that when highly anxious individuals experienced a great deal of stress, they selected negative information about their partners in areas that pertained specifically to the relationship. Furthermore, when highly anxious individuals perceived deficient support from their partners, they showed declines in mood and relationship satisfaction. Highly avoidant individuals showed the reverse trend. When they experienced a great deal of stress, they selected positive information about their partners in general non-relationship areas. Mood and relationship satisfaction remained stable for these individuals. However, when avoidant individuals were highly stressed, they showed declines in self-esteem. The results are discussed in terms of the differential coping processes of highly anxious and highly avoidant individuals

Estimating the Impact of Riverfront Redevelopment Upon Property Prices in Western and Central Wisconsin : A Hedonic Study

Color poster with text, charts, and photographs.This study estimates the effect of riverfront development on property prices within the study region. Using property sales data over the period 2014 –2017 for four Central and Western Wisconsin cities applied to a single stage hedonic model we estimate that while distance from the river has a significant impact upon property price the linear distance to a given level of development has little –if any –impact upon single-family home prices.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Program
