Social Anxiety Disorder In College Students And Its Differing Treatments, Taylor Hubbert
Social Anxiety Disorder In College Students And Its Differing Treatments, Taylor Hubbert
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
- Approximately one in six College Students report having anxiety or being treated for anxiety
- Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is defined as anxiety that is caused by social experiences, and an individuals fear/ phobia of social situations
- Research available to us on Social Anxiety Disorder is extensive. This review examined the symptomology and prevalence of SAD, and compared both individual therapy and group therapy as treatments for college students.
The Benefits Of Culturally Adapted Mental Health Treatments: A Meta-Analysis, Juan Valladares, Madeleine Coenen, Niyeli Herrera, Yoojin Kim
The Benefits Of Culturally Adapted Mental Health Treatments: A Meta-Analysis, Juan Valladares, Madeleine Coenen, Niyeli Herrera, Yoojin Kim
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
Cultural values, ideas, beliefs and word views may affect the way a mental intervention is received and therefore how effective it is. Historically, research has not focused on cultural minorities and these groups tend to have poorer success rates in treatments (Gonzalez et al., 2010). The purpose of this meta-analysis is to establish the aggregate effect of those mental health interventions that have been adapted to clients' cultural or ethnic backgrounds.
Neural Networks Of Eye-Movements During Reading, Trenton D. Jackman, Benjamin Carter, Steven Luke
Neural Networks Of Eye-Movements During Reading, Trenton D. Jackman, Benjamin Carter, Steven Luke
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
Reading is an important part of normal life. We move our eyes 2-4 times per second. Each movement is called a saccade, and each pause is called a fixation. Progress has been made understanding saccade control during deliberate tasks. Not much is known about saccade control during more automatic tasks like reading. Using fMRI concurrently run with eye-tracking we looked at BOLD MRI response compared to amplitude of saccades, for 43 participants performing a simple paragraph reading task.
Literature Review Of Animal Hoarding, Corina L. Schroeder
Literature Review Of Animal Hoarding, Corina L. Schroeder
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
This paper reviews the characteristic features, origin, and treatment of animal hoarding. It evaluates the similarities and differences of hoarding disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, showing that it seems to be more closely related to object hoarding. This disorder often originates with a traumatic life event, which triggers a psychological vulnerability to compulsively collect animals. In some cases, the hoarder was neglected by parental figures at a young age, so he or she developed relationships with animals to cope. Other theories for the origin include addiction models, delusional disorders, and dementia models. Several theories are reviewed to explain the characteristic lack …
To Study Or Not To Study: The Influences Of Procrastination, Self-Esteem, And Self-Efficacy On Self-Handicapping Among College Students, Tiatia Filemoni
To Study Or Not To Study: The Influences Of Procrastination, Self-Esteem, And Self-Efficacy On Self-Handicapping Among College Students, Tiatia Filemoni
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
Many college students have ambitions to succeed, graduate, and find a career. Despite their ambitions, many are choosing to replace study time with Netflix, social media, partying, drugs, alcohol, and other non-homework related activities. Approximately 30%-60% of college students report procrastination as a regular interruption of their undergraduate studies.
Sexual Dimorphism In 2d:4d Digit Ratio Is Linked To Anxiety In Rhesus Macaques (Macaca Mulatta), Alexander Baxter, E. K. Wood, J. P. Capitanio, J. D. Higley
Sexual Dimorphism In 2d:4d Digit Ratio Is Linked To Anxiety In Rhesus Macaques (Macaca Mulatta), Alexander Baxter, E. K. Wood, J. P. Capitanio, J. D. Higley
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
In humans, administering androgens exogenously reduces anxiety. Because prenatal androgen exposure (PAE) has organizational effects on the brain, and because it is higher in males, this may explain why, on average, females are more likely than males to develop anxiety. To assess PAE, the pointer-to-ring-finger digit ratio (2D:4D ratio) is frequently used. Though this phenotype is sexually dimorphic across primate species, preliminary research in a small number of species indicates that PAE's effect on digit ratio may be in the opposite direction when comparing nonhuman primates and humans. in humans, males typically show lower 2D:4D ratios than do females, whereas …
Goal Setting And Goal Achievement In Marathon And Half-Marathon Runners, Adam M. Fulton, Jared Richardson, Kyler Griffith
Goal Setting And Goal Achievement In Marathon And Half-Marathon Runners, Adam M. Fulton, Jared Richardson, Kyler Griffith
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
In this study, we looked at how different variables predicted goal specificity, goal achievement, and finish time for marathoners and half-marathoners. These variables had to do with experience, confidence, and motivation for running, as well as goal specificity. Among the results was the finding that goal specificity was predictive of finish time for half-marathoners and close to predictive for marathoners. These findings could help runners prepare better for races.
Depression, Religiosity, And Parenting Styles Among Mormon Adolescents, Courtney Kinneard, Mark Ogletree
Depression, Religiosity, And Parenting Styles Among Mormon Adolescents, Courtney Kinneard, Mark Ogletree
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
We examined how religiosity and the parent-child relationship are associated with depression in 12-14 yr old teenagers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint. A random sample of 493 revealed three correlations: girls who have a strong connection with their mother have a negative correlation with depression; daily spiritual experiences are negatively correlated with depression, and negative religious coping is positively correlated with depression symptoms.
