The Evolution Of Social Pain: Understanding The Neural Network Of Social Ostracism Through Electroencephalogram Waves, Daniel Kern, Joseph Williams, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
The lack of belonging or frequent exposure to social ostracism has maladaptive psychological and physical consequences. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying the neural processes of social ostracism. Previously, Williams (2009) showed a decrease in theta power in the frontal lobe when female participants were ostracized in a virtual chat-room. Using male and female Illinois Wesleyan college students, this study manipulated two powerful social cues (biological sex and attractiveness level) to determine their effect on prefrontal brain activity in response to social ostracism in a virtual chat-room environment. Using EEG technology, frontal theta power (4-8Hz) was measured using …

Pulsed Radiofrequency Neuromodulation Of Peripheral Nerve Injury, Alex Willett, Joseph Williams, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Pulsed-radiofrequency neuromodulation (PRF) is a pain management technique that involves placing a needle electrode near nerves and generating electrical current pulses in order to modulate the transduction of somatosensory information through those nerves. This technique evolved from a similar radiofrequency (RF) procedure in which constant current is distributed to a nerve or neural structure. RF interrupts nerve conduction and prevents somatosensory information from reaching the brain. In the case of continuous radiofrequency, however, the destructive lesion can cause further complications and unwanted side effects. According to research, PRF, unlike RF, is non-destructive yet still induces analgesia and consequently represents a …

Cyberostracism And Social Monitoring: Social Anxiety's Affects On Reactions To Exclusion And Inclusion Online, Claire Karlen, Jennifer Daniels, Faculty Advisor
Cyberostracism And Social Monitoring: Social Anxiety's Affects On Reactions To Exclusion And Inclusion Online, Claire Karlen, Jennifer Daniels, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Previous research has shown that ostracism ―the equivalence of exclusion in a social situation―improves social monitoring abilities ― a natural practice by individuals that serves to gather information through social cues about what is happening in their social worlds (Pickett, Gardner, & Knowles, 2004). Current knowledge on social anxiety, defined as a chronic fear of social situations that put one in the position of evaluation by others, describes hypersensitivity in those individuals in cases of social monitoring others (Barlow, 2002; Craske,1999). The current study investigated how those two constructs interacted in a cyberostracism paradigm. After measuring their social anxiety levels, …

Examining Political Defection: An Analysis Of Affective Intelligence, Media Attention, Political Knowledge And Issue Agreement, Kyle Sloan, Carolyn Brown-Kramer, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
In politics the political party affiliation of the voter often serves as a predictor for the voting behavior of that individual. However, a voter may occasionally vote against his or her political party, an action known as defection. The present study serves two purposes. The first is to compare defectors and non-defectors across a variety of relevant characteristics, including emotion experienced for one's in-party candidate, attention to media, political understanding, and issue agreement between oneself and one's in-party candidate. The second is to examine the correlations between the individual elements of these theories with one another. Results of this study …
