The Method Of Loci As An Intervention For Heart Medication Adherence, Nicholas Ainsworth
The Method Of Loci As An Intervention For Heart Medication Adherence, Nicholas Ainsworth
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
Approximately 700,000 people die of heart disease yearly, many of whom underutilize lifesaving heart medication. This research proposal endeavors to address the problem. To increase medication adherence, we propose a new intervention which utilizes the Method of Loci visualization mnemonic. Research has demonstrated that reminders increase medication adherence, while habits require a consistent environment to form. The Method of Loci intervention capitalizes on these factors to ensure success. Upon completing a one-year randomized controlled trial, the data will be analyzed using a mixed methods Anova. Once successful, the intervention can be applied directly to those who struggle with medication adherence.
A Decade Of Risk: A Meta-Analysis Of Risk-Sensitive Foraging Over The Last 10 Years, Hallie Anselmi, Baine Craft
A Decade Of Risk: A Meta-Analysis Of Risk-Sensitive Foraging Over The Last 10 Years, Hallie Anselmi, Baine Craft
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
Risk-sensitive foraging was developed to determine a forager’s choice when uncertainty or risk was involved. Past studies have focused on risky decision-making across species and contexts. Despite numerous studies over the past decade, a literature review or meta-analysis summarizing the current state of research in this area has yet to be conducted. Therefore, the purpose of the current experiment was to analyze findings from the risk-sensitive foraging literature over the past decade (i.e., 2013-2023). We found 27 studies examining risk-sensitive foraging and our aim is to present trends from the literature.

Pain Beneath The Surface: Emotional Self-Control & Trauma In Central Sensitization Among Asian Americans, Yasmin Banga, Lisette Thurlkill, Munyi Shea
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
Research has established the links between trauma exposure, PTSD symptoms, and central sensitization. Yet, few studies have specifically examined this mechanism in Asian Americans with chronic pain. This study aims to examine how culture-specific factors, such as emotional self-control, as well as underlying PTSD symptoms play a role in this mechanism among Asian American adults. A sample of 160 Asian Americans with chronic pain was surveyed. Results suggest that PTSD symptoms significantly mediated the impact of trauma exposure on central sensitization, whereas emotional self-control was a non-significant mediator or moderator. Study limitations and implications will be further discussed.
Attitudes And Intentions: Exploring How Imaginary Interactions And Social Justice Education Impact Perceptions Of Individuals Experiencing Homelessness, Shianne Heeraman, Kylie Jones, Deanna Smit, Catherine Zheng, Brittany Tausen
Attitudes And Intentions: Exploring How Imaginary Interactions And Social Justice Education Impact Perceptions Of Individuals Experiencing Homelessness, Shianne Heeraman, Kylie Jones, Deanna Smit, Catherine Zheng, Brittany Tausen
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
The current study (N = 139) explored how contact valence and social justice education impacted attitudes about and the treatment of individuals experiencing homelessness. Participants imagined either a positive or negative interaction with a homeless man and read a vignette describing the man’s situation as either a social justice issue (driven by systemic factors) or a personal issue (driven by individual factors). Dehumanizing perceptions about and intentions to help/harm individuals experiencing homelessness were then assessed. Results demonstrated that positive contact and social justice education had significant effects on dehumanization, but not on behavioral intentions to help or harm homeless individuals.
Examining Negative And Positive Consequences Of Acknowledging White Privilege, Davery Bettger, Jenna Saunders, Piljoo Kang
Examining Negative And Positive Consequences Of Acknowledging White Privilege, Davery Bettger, Jenna Saunders, Piljoo Kang
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
Acknowledging racial privilege can be a psychologically distressing experience for White individuals, potentially eliciting feelings of guilt that threaten one’s positive self-image. By conducting qualitative empirical research through semi-structured interviews with 36 young White individuals in the southern United States, we found that some participants believe guilt about White privilege hinders their ability to view themselves positively. Others believed that the guilt they felt played a constructive role in addressing and changing their own biases or engaging in social justice. Therefore, the way that White people experience guilt may have an impact on their attitudes and behavior surrounding White privilege.

"I Don't Have White Privilege Because I Worked Hard For What I Have", Jenna Sanders, Piljoo Kang, Adrianna Mceachern
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
Despite being an important research topic, there is a dearth of empirical studies on how White individuals understand White privilege and their identity. We have conducted qualitative research by interviewing 36 White young adults attending a Southern United States liberal arts college. The interviewees' responses were qualitatively analyzed using keywords and thematic categories and ranged from denial to acceptance of White privilege. White privilege means their successes would no longer be the reward of hard work but the result of an uncontrollable factor: race. In this case, they clarify that their parents or themselves started with nothing and had to …
Employment Role Change And Resilient Coping On Affective Well-Being During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Hatun Almuhanna, Penelope Seminario, Lynette Bikos
Employment Role Change And Resilient Coping On Affective Well-Being During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Hatun Almuhanna, Penelope Seminario, Lynette Bikos
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effect of employment related role change directly upon affective well-being and indirectly through resilient coping in the first year-and-a-half of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants (N = 197; age M=48.85, SD = 15.28) completed up to 24 waves. Results suggested that the direct effect of role change on affective well-being was statistically significant (B = 0.037, p < 0.024). Although there was a significant effect of resilient coping on affective well-being (B = 0.227, p < 0.001), the indirect effect passing from employment role change through resilience coping to affective well-being was not (B = 0.002, 95CI -0.006, 0.010, p 0.574). The results speak to the centrality of the employment role.
Factors Influencing Shelter Dog Retention And Return, Hallie Anselmi
Factors Influencing Shelter Dog Retention And Return, Hallie Anselmi
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
Adopting a dog from a shelter is an impactful decision for both dog and owner. To better understand adoption outcomes, I explore the influences of a dog’s age, time spent in the shelter (SLOS), and time in foster care. Data from a Washington shelter (n = 224) were analyzed using a logistic regression and correlations. The regression indicated no significant results between the variables, however, there was a significant correlation between age and SLOS. The data was limited by a small return sample. Overall, this study helps add to the narrative for how shelters can increase adoptions and decrease returns.

The Role of Pain on Physical Activity in Pediatric ALL
Keywords: Biopsychosocial model, pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, pain, physical activity
Introduction: Engaging in physical activity (PA) during cancer treatment benefits a child’s physical and mental well-being (McLaughlin et al., 2021). However, engaging in PA may be challenging due to treatment and disease-related pain (Uhl et al., 2020). Pediatric cancer research has primarily focused on management of procedural and chronic pain, with fewer studies examining how pain may interfere with PA during treatment (Clews et al., 2022). The current study qualitatively investigated the impact of pain on PA using a …

The Power Of Words: Unpacking Language's Role In Educational Inequities, Zara Yokohama, Liz Beccari, Malcolm Jasmin
Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
The language used to describe racial disparities in education may inadvertently influence how we address them. Framing such disparities as “achievement gap” rather than as “inequality in educational outcomes” assumes a deficit thinking mindset, shifting focus from the structural injustices contributing to education disparities to individuals, resulting in decreased prioritization of racial equity (Quinn & Desruisseaux, 2022). We aim to replicate this prioritization effect, specify the language driving the effect, and examine the impact of frames on perceptions of how to achieve racial equity. Participants were randomly assigned to conditions framing racial equity concerns as: a racial achievement gap, racial …

Comparing Executive Control: Bilingualism's Cognitive Advantage, Malcolm Jasmin, Tonya Buchanan Ph.D.
Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
The Stroop Task is a widely used method for studying executive control. It helps to understand cognitive processes like inhibition and attentional regulation to examine how reading text and naming colors can interfere with each other. The study intends to use the Stroop Task to explore the executive control abilities of both bilingual and monolingual individuals. Previous research has shown that bilingual individuals perform better in the Stroop test compared to those who only speak one language (Bialystok et al., 2010). The impact of this advantage is believed to be due to the need to switch between languages and prevent …

404 Error – Gender Not Found: Lived Experiences Of Genderqueer Autistics Assigned Female At Birth, Christina-Marie J. Wright
Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
While autism research has historically focused on males, increasing attention is being paid to the expression of autism spectrum disorder in cisgender girls and women. However, a significant percentage of the autistic population assigned female at birth experiences gender outside the male-female binary, and the expression of autistic traits in this population remains largely unexplored. Understanding the expression of autism in diverse populations is important for diagnostic access and support. The purpose of this study was to identify which behaviors and interests commonly ascribed to autistic individuals were demonstrated by autistic genderqueer individuals assigned female at birth. The study also …
Loneliness And Parental Relationships Among College Students, Alanna James, Charlie Barna
Loneliness And Parental Relationships Among College Students, Alanna James, Charlie Barna
Symposium of Student Scholars
The transition to adulthood is a unique developmental period that involves rapid changes in youths’ individual development and social contexts, which can involve leaving behind familiar support networks (Eeske et al,. 2015). Common experiences during the transition to adulthood, like leaving home, pursuing college, and entering the workforce can leave individuals feeling marginalized and cutoff (Mathews et al,. 2022). Loneliness is a subjective feeling experienced by individuals in all age demographics (Matthews et al,. 2022). Despite a wide array of research on social connectedness interventions for older adults and people with physical disabilities (Zagic et al,. 2021), there is little …

Female Medical Students’ Lived Experiences Of Financial Stress And Coping, Untara Shaikh, Dr. Kimberlee Bonura
Georgia Public Health Association Annual Meeting and Conference
Financial stress is a pervasive concern among medical students, with documented associations with adverse physical health, psychological morbidity, and ineffective coping. This study focuses on understanding the financial stressors female medical students face and the coping strategies they employ. While financial stress and coping mechanisms have been explored in the literature, a notable gap exists in understanding these dynamics among female students.
The study employed a phenomenological research approach to obtain data from the respondents, where data collection involved face-to-face semi-structured interviews. The Adaptation Model of Nursing, complemented by Lazarus and Folkman's Coping Theory, was a comprehensive framework for analyzing …

Effects Of Language Status, Community Advice, And Parent Beliefs On Heritage Language Maintenance In The U.S.: A Scoping Review, Isabelle Trujillo, Jasmine Loeung, Carolyn Quam
Student Research Symposium
This scoping review of qualitative research examines effects of language status, community advice to parents, and parents' beliefs on heritage language maintenance within a U.S. context. The review was guided by three research questions: 1. What is the nature of the relationship between a heritage language’s (HL) status in society and language maintenance across generations? 2. How does information parents receive from community members (e.g., health professionals, teachers, friends/family) influence their beliefs about the HL? 3. How do parents’ beliefs about the impact of a HL on academic/career success influence HL transmission? Thirty-four articles met inclusion criteria. Three themes were …

Online Or In-Person: What Mode Of Conversation Makes People Feel The Most Socially Connected?, Nathan P. Gheorghita, Cynthia D. Mohr, Maryann Samson, Sheila Mccabe, Julia Lynch
Student Research Symposium
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, people have been spending significantly more time online. Today, people spend an average of 6 hours and 58 minutes online every day, and much of this time is spent socializing via various platforms. Many studies have examined the benefits and risks of socializing online, but few studies have examined online conversations specifically. In this study I aim to uncover the differences in perceived social connection based on the medium of conversation. To do this, I will administer the Connectedness During Conversations Scale (CDCS) to a sample of Portland State University students (N=80). The …
Work And Psychological Recovery Experiences Of Asian American And Pacific Island Workers In Higher Education, Christine M. Beceril
Work And Psychological Recovery Experiences Of Asian American And Pacific Island Workers In Higher Education, Christine M. Beceril
Student Research Symposium
Individuals from Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander (AAPI) backgrounds constitute the largest and fastest-growing minority group in the U.S. job market - comprising 6.7% of the U.S. population and expected to reach 15% by 2065 (United States Census Bureau, 2022). Despite their rapid growth, there has been a scarcity of literature in industrial-organizational psychology, with limited research on how AAPI workers engage in psychological recovery after work. This is a critical, yet unexplored area as previous research on psychological recovery from work has been investigated with homogenous White samples. Additionally, AAPI workers play integral roles in the U.S. higher …

Activism And Stress, Ashanti Laine T. Peredo, Taylor Gayton, Lalaine Sevillano
Student Research Symposium
Black women often shoulder a heavier burden of financial, social, and physical responsibilities within their families compared to non-Black individuals who do not identify as women. This increased load contributes significantly to mental health disorders and psychological distress and well as physical disparities. When compounded with experiences of racism and sexism, these responsibilities can lead to a sense of social invisibility and foster a tendency towards stoicism. This study is a mixed method study as it aims to quantitatively examine the relationship between activism, physical wellbeing measured by the Conserved Transcriptional Response to Adversity (CTRA), and psychological wellbeing among Black …
The Benefits And Risks Of Pudendal Nerve Block And Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation In Pudendal Neuralgia, Pooja A. Patel
The Benefits And Risks Of Pudendal Nerve Block And Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation In Pudendal Neuralgia, Pooja A. Patel
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Context: Pudendal neuralgia is a chronic neuropathic pain syndrome worsening throughout daily activities. Although temporarily relieved when standing or lying down, it is often misdiagnosed, improperly treated, and/or refractory to treatment leading to a negative impact on quality of life. The lack of research in proper diagnosis and interventional management (such as dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS) and pudendal nerve block) further contributes to the delay in relief from the chronic pain. Objective: The goal of this scoping review is to assess if research exists on benefits and risks of pudendal nerve block and dorsal root ganglion and …

Evaluating The Effectiveness Of A School-Based Cognitive Behavioral Youth Depression Prevention Program In Improving Life Satisfaction, Roshani Patel, Steven M. Brunwasser, Alissa Hochman
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, known as the global burden of disease. Incident cases from 1990 to 2017 have increased by 49.86%. Additionally, rates have been seen to dramatically rise in adolescents aged 18-25 (17%) compared to rates in individuals aged 10-14 (1.1%). This makes it beneficial to have prevention programs for middle school aged children. The Penn Resiliency Program (PRP) is a youth depression prevention program focused on cultivating healthy thinking styles and behavioral coping skills. In our study, we used archival data from a randomized control trial of PRP to evaluate whether the program led …

The Effects Of Covid-19 On Substance Use Among College Students, Madison M. Wakely, Halle Trahey, Nicholas Bolognini, Jennifer C. Elliott Phd
Molloy Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Conference
Recent studies have shown mixed results on whether substance use has increased in college students over the course of the Coronavirus pandemic. This study surveyed 115 undergraduate students at a largely commuter college in the suburban northeast. The data suggested that mental health issues increased since before the pandemic, while alcohol use has largely stayed the same over the course of the pandemic. Continued research in diverse college settings is needed on this important topic.

The Media’S Influence On Disordered Eating And Body Dysmorphia In Males And Females, Alexis Kotanidis, Jamie Vitrano
Molloy Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Conference
The media typically refers to various means of communication that reach or influence people widely. This includes television, radio, newspapers, magazines, social media platforms, websites, podcasts, and more. Essentially, it has many ways through which information is transmitted to a large audience. The media plays a significant role in shaping public opinion, especially with regard to disordered eating and body dysmorphia in both men and women. Disordered eating refers to a wide range of irregular eating behaviors that may or may not meet the criteria for a specific eating disorder diagnosis such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge-eating disorder. …
