Exploring Resilience Factors And Positive Development In Single-Parent Households, Valerie Gomez
Exploring Resilience Factors And Positive Development In Single-Parent Households, Valerie Gomez
Undergraduate Papers
Single-parent households are often viewed as a risky family context associated with children’s negative outcomes such as social difficulties, psychopathology, and lower academic performance. While single-parent households are becoming more common, particularly in the United States, not all children who grow up in single-parent households go on to develop negative outcomes. Prior studies have not clearly outlined whether there are child or family-level factors that are associated with positive outcomes in the context of single-parent households. This honors thesis explored whether chores, which may support children’s persistence and autonomy, are more common in single-parent households and whether they predict positive …

Comparing Trebouxia Diversity In Lichen Genera Sympatric With The Niebla Species Complex., Anthony Perugini, Louise A. Lewis, Zachary M. Muscavitch
Undergraduate Papers
Lichens are one of the most successful mutualisms on Earth. The ecology and distribution of lichen symbionts likely influences their association and genetic structure . Two sister genera of lichenized fungi Niebla and Vermilicinia are endemic to the fog deserts on the west coast of North America. Species of Trebouxia, a genus of green algae found worldwide, are the associated photobiont partners to the Niebla/Vermilicinia species complex. Recent work demonstrated that Niebla and Vermilicinia are highly specific for only a few closely related Trebouxia molecular species (OTUs). This project examines the diversity and broad specificity of algae with lichen …
Preparing Future Health Care Workers: An Assessment Of Undergraduate Student Integrative Pre-Health Education, Haley Bevza Brennan, Pamela Erickson
Preparing Future Health Care Workers: An Assessment Of Undergraduate Student Integrative Pre-Health Education, Haley Bevza Brennan, Pamela Erickson
Undergraduate Papers
This paper analyzes the current state of, and demand for, integrative pre-health education in the undergraduate setting, specifically at the University of Connecticut. Students’ knowledge of, exposure to, and attitudes towards complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) are assessed through a web-based survey and semi-structured interviews. This paper compares this research with surveys conducted in undergraduate, medical school, and medical professional settings to gauge current efforts to provide a more holistic approach to educating health care workers in subjects such as mind-body therapies, lifestyle contributors to health such as diet and exercise, culturally competent care, and therapeutic techniques outside of the …
