Nutraceuticals: An Alternative Treatment For Influenza Virus, Siale Teaupa
Nutraceuticals: An Alternative Treatment For Influenza Virus, Siale Teaupa
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
Influenza virus is a contagious respiratory pathogen that infects hundreds of thousands of people a year, making it a serious global health concern. The virus has a rapid mutation rate and has developed resistance to current antiviral agents, making it a difficult target for effective treatment. There is an increasing need to identify new treatments for Influenza. Recently, we have tested nutraceuticals as an effective alternative for blocking Influenza. We have tested Jamaican Sorrel, Black Currant Berries, and Manuka Honey paired with Bee Pollen for antiviral activity. We have demonstrated that these nutraceuticals block the 2009 Pandemic California Influenza strain …
Transcendent Matters: Family Relationships Associated With How One Experiences God, Hilary Dalton
Transcendent Matters: Family Relationships Associated With How One Experiences God, Hilary Dalton
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
For religious families, an important but understudied aspect of spirituality is
how their perceptions of God influence their family lives. Most research
addresses religious behaviors such as attendance, prayer, or degree of salience
(how important/central is religion) or degree of literal belief (e.g., biblical
inerrancy). Relatively little research has addressed both substantive beliefs about
God as well as their potential impact on specific relational processes. Mahoney
has called for more research on the influence of substantive, specific beliefs as a
way to further our understanding of the religion-relationships linkage (Mahoney,
2013). Specifically, she has used the concept of relational spirituality …

Git R Done: Analysis Of Motivation In Relation To Exercise And Determining Factors, Britton L. Rice
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
Exercise provides many physical, emotional and mental health benefits (Facts about Physical Activity, 2014). Despite this, only 21% of American adults exercise regularly. One way of increasing this is to encourage better understanding of motivation and how to control it. Since intrinsic motivation towards exercise is not easily created or changed, most of the focus is placed on extrinsic motivation in its varying degrees. This summary isolates a few factors in exercise that play crucial roles in deciding motivation such as:
• Climate and Goal Orientation
• Influence of peers and teammates
• Influence of coaches
Response Time Scores On A Reflexive Attention Task Predict A Child's Inattention Score From A Parent Report, Erica Suh, Katherine Christensen, Sarah Kamhout, Kahala Thompson, Yoojin Kim, Cooper Hodges

● Children with attention deficits have problems with sustained and reflexive attention tasks
● Few studies measure reflexive attention as a component of day-to-day attention in children
● Parents also have valuable insight into children’s behavior
● We want to identify associations between computer-based reflexive attention task performance and parent-rated attention-related problems.
Infant Siblings Of Children Diagnosed With Autism Spectrum Disorder Have Higher Perseveration, Katherine Christensen, Allison Garner Kotter, Rachel Nuttall, Bread Iverson, Taylor Bayles

● Children with ASD have difficulty with social cues, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests
● Many of these signs show up after a diagnosis and many children remain undiagnosed until school-age
● We want to demonstrate the utility of a screening tool to identify infants at risk for ASD
● This tool could enable earlier identification and treatment for those who have unknown risk for ASD
The Effects Of Extracurricular Activity And Physical Activity On Academic Success: A Literature Review, Braden Tanner
The Effects Of Extracurricular Activity And Physical Activity On Academic Success: A Literature Review, Braden Tanner
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
Due to an ever-increasing importance of education, it is important to understand how to foster an environment conducive to academic success. Extracurricular activity is one of many factors that influences the academic environment. This review examines literature published since 2010 concerning extracurricular activity's effect on academic success. Seeing that sports make up such a large portion of the extracurricular spectrum, the review also examines studies analyzing the effects of physical activity on academic performance.
Expectations And Memory: Positive And Negative Expectations Of Memorizing The Armenian Alphabet, Micah Wood, Madeline Hoyt
Expectations And Memory: Positive And Negative Expectations Of Memorizing The Armenian Alphabet, Micah Wood, Madeline Hoyt
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
Studies suggest that expectations may have an effect on various cognitive functions, including memory. To this point, no studies have exclusively investigated the effect of expectations on short-term memory. This study tested the effect of positive and negative expectations on short-term memory, utilizing the Armenian alphabet as a test of memory. N=45 undergraduate students (23 men, 22 women), ranging in age from 18-26 years were divided equally into three groups: Group 1 was a control group, Group 2 was manipulated to have positive expectations before testing, and Group 3 was manipulated to have negative expectations before testing. All groups were …
