Test-Retest Of The Impact In A Sample Of Healthy Young Athletes, Amanda Marion O'Brien
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Baseline neurocognitive assessments are recommended to assist with concussion management in athletes, but there is no research available regarding the psychometric properties of the Immediate Post-concussion Assessment & Cognitive Testing (ImPACT), the most widely used assessment tool, in children younger than high-school age despite its assertion that it can be used as young as 11 years old. The purpose of the present study was to determine the two-week test-retest reliability of the ImPACT neurocognitive test in a healthy sample of young athletes.

Stress-Related Growth Of Parents Raising Children With Autism, Mitchell Scott Garry Loepp
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The present study used the Organismic Valuing Theory as a theoretical framework to investigate the relationship and predictive ability of internal coping strategies and external support with perceived stress related growth (SRG) for mothers and fathers raising children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Positive reframing coping, active coping, perceived social support, and low levels of stress predicted perceived SRG. The construct of perceived SRG was also found to be different from internal coping strategies. A second objective of this study examined the similarities and differences in parenting stress, coping strategies, perceived social support and SRG of mother-father couples raising …
