Social Identity Salience & Threat: Validating The Sitc Inventory, Christina Poirier, Katherine Dempsey
Social Identity Salience & Threat: Validating The Sitc Inventory, Christina Poirier, Katherine Dempsey
Academic Festival
Social identity threat refers to the fear that stigmatized groups often face about being mistreated, invalidated, or devalued for their social identification. All individuals have multiple intersecting social identities that influence how people are treated and perform. Complex discriminatory experiences of advantage and disadvantage often arise and persist. Past social identity threat measures have examined identity as singular rather than multifaceted, which fails to recognize intersectionality. We introduce the Social Identity Threat Concerns (SITC) Inventory–a novel tool for measuring social identity threat concerns that allows for an exploration of threats related to both singular social identities and their complex intersections. …

The Influence Of Region Of Residence On Diagnosis Of Breast Cancer, Jessica Catterson, Mollie Mcmanus, Erin Tumbrello
The Influence Of Region Of Residence On Diagnosis Of Breast Cancer, Jessica Catterson, Mollie Mcmanus, Erin Tumbrello
Academic Festival
Breast cancer is a common disease among women in the United States, and there are observable disparities in outcomes after a diagnosis. Factors such as region of residence are known to impact access to resources which may cause a variation in health outcomes after a breast cancer diagnosis. If disparities in breast cancer diagnosis can be identified, resources can be provided to lessen the gap, giving each woman an equal chance of receiving preventative care, a timely diagnosis, and quality treatment. The purpose of this study was to identify if an association exists between region of residence and diagnosis of …

Poverty's Role In Shaping The Childhood Obesity Epidemic, Leah Demko, Megan Gaffney, Abby Hudson, Katherin Mazzarelli, Sabrina Palen
Academic Festival
Childhood obesity is a major healthcare concern, as millions of children are classified as overweight and obese. Socioeconomic status (SES) influences the prevalence of childhood obesity, especially individuals from low SES. A child's living environment, attending low income schools, parental education, and low family income all impact a child's risk of becoming obese. The National Survey of Children's Health 2021 data was used to observe the relationship between Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and identification of being overweight by a doctor. Family poverty level is significantly associated with obesity among children aged 5-12. This hypothesis was tested used cross-tabulation with chi-square …

How Income Affects Depression In Adults Aged 25-65, Stephanie Capito, Jillian F. Spindel, Claudia Uva
Academic Festival
In this paper, we explore socioeconomic status and how it is related to depression rates. This is an important topic to study because economic status determines an individual's standing in life. Furthermore, as the transfer from childhood to adulthood occurs, finding a stable job that will support the individual becomes extremely important and without it moving into adulthood becomes much more difficult. This is an issue that impacts millions of Americans as 37.2 million people live in poverty (Bureau, U.C, 2021). The number of people living in poverty increased by 11.4 percent from 2015 to 2020. Adults living in poverty …

Examining The Impact Of Soluble Vs. Insoluble Dietary Fiber On Long-Term Cognitive Benefits In Older Adults Living In Nursing Homes, Shreya Patel, Sofia Celis, Adrienne Newberry
Examining The Impact Of Soluble Vs. Insoluble Dietary Fiber On Long-Term Cognitive Benefits In Older Adults Living In Nursing Homes, Shreya Patel, Sofia Celis, Adrienne Newberry
Department of Nutrition Student Projects
The cognitive health of the elderly, specifically those residing in nursing homes, is a demanding concern in geriatrics. As individuals age, they become susceptible to cognitive decline, impacting their quality of life and overall well-being. Among individuals residing within nursing homes, cognitive disability is prevalent, with conditions such as dementia or Alzheimer’s posing challenges to the individual and the caregivers. Dietary factors are a potential contributor to cognitive health. Dietary fiber, existing in soluble and insoluble forms, has been linked to health benefits, such as cardiovascular health. Preliminary findings from other studies suggest a positive correlation between fiber intake and …
Contemporary Mythology: Poems Of Creatures And Grievances, Zane G. Segal
Contemporary Mythology: Poems Of Creatures And Grievances, Zane G. Segal
University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)
Urban legends and modern folklore have never been popular subjects in the canon of serious poetry, despite their more ancient counterparts being frequently coveted content. In a post-science world, the uncanny hearsay of yesteryear has lost its star power, and the act of believing in such myths has been relegated to an embarrassing pastime of drunk uncles and gullible dimwits. However, Contemporary Mythology is a collection of poems which are not afraid to be embarrassed. By entertaining the lovable qualities of unlovable monsters, these poems seek the resonance which keep urban legends comfortably lodged in the backlogs of American culture. …

Dispossession Of Ancestral Land: Effect Of Displacement On Indigenous Peoples' Life Satifaction, Kaitlyn Bird, Hailey Shangin, Alana Smutz, Julisa Lopez, Adam Farero, Stephanie Fryberg
University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)
North America's history of forced displacement and relocation of Indigenous tribes continues to affect contemporary Indigenous peoples (Wolfe, 2006). As climate change, socioeconomic disparities, and industry encroachment shape displacement, Indigenous people continue to be negatively impacted (Covey, 2021). The current work explores how displacement impacts life satisfaction for Indigenous Peoples, and whether cultural embeddedness modifies this relationship. Using the Indigenous Climate Justice survey (N=282), regression analysis illustrates that those who have not been displaced generally report higher life satisfaction than those who have been displaced (β=-0.255, SE= 0.108 p= 0.019). Lower reported life satisfaction is especially prevalent when those displaced …

Assessing American Attitudes: Welfare Perceptions Over Time By Race, Gender And Education, Liliana H. Silver
University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)
Income and wealth inequality in the United States have skyrocketed since the 1970s, making the country increasingly unequal (Hout 2021; Lee 2023; Piketty and Saez 2014). Researchers disagree on whether overall support for redistribution in the United States has changed in the last several decades (Ashok et al. 2016; Lee 2023; Pittau et al. 2016) but recent studies suggest the country has seen a significant political realignment based on race and education. Education levels are increasingly becoming major determinants in this voter realignment (Kitschelt and Rehm 2019). Much of the literature on attitudes toward welfare exists in political science or …

The Gap Between Male And Female Enrollment In Aerospace Engineering: A Problem Solution Analysis For Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Lauren Augusto
Discovery Day - Daytona Beach
To increase the number of women in the aerospace workforce, the number of women pursuing these degrees in college needs to increase. Increasing the number of women who enter the aerospace field begins in their adolescence. The goal of this problem-solution analysis is to analyze the current data about the gap between men and women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs and develop a solution that would mitigate this gap over time. Although there is ample research regarding gender gaps, gender issues, and workplace environments, most of the data is not quantitative. This poses an issue when developing …
Relationship Identification Between Triggers And Electrophysiological Changes In The Brain And The Overall Human Physiology During Migraines, Dominic Sandell
Relationship Identification Between Triggers And Electrophysiological Changes In The Brain And The Overall Human Physiology During Migraines, Dominic Sandell
Discovery Day - Daytona Beach
This research aims to reinforce that migraines have environmental triggers, establish that migraines cause changes in the brain’s electronics and the body’s overall electrophysiology, and define the relationship between the changes and the triggers. The hypothesis is that there is a relationship between environmental triggers and specific electrophysiological changes in the brain and the overall human electrophysiology. The population will be the young adults of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and the sample size will be determined using the aforementioned gender split between female and male as well as the Sample Size for Known Population equation. Throughout the study, the participants will …

Development And Evaluation Of Trauma Informed Care Education For Licensed Nurses, Kristina O'Meara
Epsilon Sigma at-Large Research Conference
Trauma informed care nursing education is crucial. Trauma informed care is a method of providing health care which understands the likelihood of past and present traumatic events in patients and families. The experience of past or present trauma often led to chronic diseases, substance abuse disorder, fragmented health care, fears surrounding health care, chronic stress, and other negative health consequences. The purpose of this project is to increase licensed nurses’ awareness and ability to practice trauma informed care in clinical practice, as well as promote policy initiation within the health care facilities. Method planning integrated the Knowledge to Action Cycle. …

Lingering Effects Of Covid-19 On Mental Health In College Students, Morgan Bodker
Lingering Effects Of Covid-19 On Mental Health In College Students, Morgan Bodker
Scholars Week
This study examined whether severity of an individual’s COVID symptoms is predictive of a long-term risk for depression in college students. An online survey was completed by 123 students (M = 19.45; SD = 4.23) who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 at any time since the pandemic. Severity of COVID symptoms at the time of diagnosis was assessed using seven questions on a 4-point Likert scale. Current depressive symptoms were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Participants who had a COVID diagnosis reported significantly higher levels of depression than participants who have never had COVID. A linear regression restricted …
Uncharted Territory: Researching The Effect Of Implicit Bias On The Political Attitudes Of Black Participants, Briona Young
Uncharted Territory: Researching The Effect Of Implicit Bias On The Political Attitudes Of Black Participants, Briona Young
Scholars Week
Extant research suggests that implicit bias can predict behavior such as voting, policy preferences, and assessment of government performance (Pérez 2010). Yet, research on implicit bias has largely excluded people of color, leaving a wide gap in our understanding of implicit bias and its effects on society (Orey, 2013). In this study, we research implicit bias within the black community and test its effects on political attitudes. We administer Harvard’s Implicit Association Test (IAT) and a survey to measure levels of implicit bias and subsequently policy preferences and trust in government. We expect to find that the black participants with …
Functional Outcomes Of Noninvasive Sensory Feedback In Upper Limb Prostheses: A Meta-Analysis, Libby Caldwell
Functional Outcomes Of Noninvasive Sensory Feedback In Upper Limb Prostheses: A Meta-Analysis, Libby Caldwell
UNO Student Research and Creative Activity Fair
Noninvasive sensory feedback applies vibration or pressure to the residual limb and is thought to improve the functionality of upper limb prostheses. However, the efficacy of this approach has not been sufficiently investigated, particularly regarding actual amputee efficacy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional benefits of noninvasive sensory feedback in upper limb prostheses through a meta-analysis. Electronic databases (MEDLINE, Web of Science, and PubMed) were searched up to October 2022 using the following search terms: (prosthesis OR prosthetic) AND (hand OR arm OR forearm OR transradial OR “upper limb” OR “upper extremity) AND (tactile OR haptic …

Value Beyond Cost Savings: Unlocking Diversity, Equity And Inclusion With Open Educational Resources, Nancy Henke
Libraries Workshops & Webinars
The cost savings offered by the use of Open Educational Resources (OER) have garnered significant attention. As free teaching, learning, and research materials, OER reduce financial barriers to education by eliminating textbook costs. However, fewer people are aware that OER also contribute to a more inclusive learning environment. This session explores the value of OER beyond financial benefits, delving into how OER, as free and accessible resources, play a role in building an inclusive educational landscape. From embracing diverse perspectives in content creation to providing the opportunity to tailor course materials to students’ specific needs, this presentation uncovers the many …
The Role Of Advisors’ Sexual And Gender Minority Status In Gender And Sexuality Alliances, Bennett Ilac, Kelly M. Davis
The Role Of Advisors’ Sexual And Gender Minority Status In Gender And Sexuality Alliances, Bennett Ilac, Kelly M. Davis
UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)
Research has consistently shown that sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth experience higher rates of mental health issues. One protective factor against these issues is the presence of Gender and Sexuality Alliances (GSAs) in schools. The presence of a GSA at school has been associated with lower rates of depression and higher levels of academic achievement, self-esteem, and belonging for SGM youth. Though the benefits of GSAs are well-documented, less research exists about the practices of GSAs and the advisors leading them. This study is based on data from a survey of 170 GSA advisors, 86 of whom self-identified as …
Is Circle Time Enough Language Input To Learn Grammatical Gender?, Madeline Grace Strah
Is Circle Time Enough Language Input To Learn Grammatical Gender?, Madeline Grace Strah
UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)
In the United States, little is known about second language learning in the context of public preschools. However, we do know that dual immersion programs have for the most part been limited to private or charter schools, with fewer than 3600 programs available nationwide. This raises the question of whether it’s even possible for public educators to facilitate second language learning through small group activities. Additionally, is the language input received during this small group enough language input for children to acquire a feature absent from their first language, like grammatical and lexical gender? Research has shown that opportunities where …

Teachers' Perceptions Of The Behavioral Symptoms Associated With Trauma, Hannah G. Hall
Teachers' Perceptions Of The Behavioral Symptoms Associated With Trauma, Hannah G. Hall
UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)
School is an integral environment for students to learn the academic and social-emotional skills they need to be successful. However, students are inseparable from the challenges they face at home or in the community, and these dynamics affect their behaviors at school. Children with histories of trauma are often identified through a range of emotional and behavioral concerns and there is an increasing need to intervene. It is reported that by age 16, more than two-thirds of children will be exposed to one traumatic event (SAMHSA, 2022). Despite the prevalence of trauma, the signs manifest differently, making it difficult to …
