Trauma: Forced Sterilizations Of Latina Women In The United States, Lisset Delgado, Wystan Hampton
Trauma: Forced Sterilizations Of Latina Women In The United States, Lisset Delgado, Wystan Hampton
Fall Student Research Symposium 2021
The purpose of our research is to understand the history of how American society has viewed Latina women and the oppression they have faced mainly due to forced sterilizations. Between the 1930s and 1970s, Latinos in the United States were forced to undergo sterilizations which have been a large contributor to the cause of multiple underlying mental health issues. Although the book Taína, written by Ernesto Quiñónez, is considered fiction, we understand that many of Quiñónez's stories within the book are based on actual events that took place in his life. As a result, his literary work will be …
Microaggressions Experienced By Lgbtq Individuals In Cjclds Contexts, Jane Bell
Microaggressions Experienced By Lgbtq Individuals In Cjclds Contexts, Jane Bell
Fall Student Research Symposium 2021
Relative to heterosexual and cisgender individuals, sexual and gender minorities (SGM) have elevated rates of minority stress and heightened chances of health problems, including mental health disorders and suicidal ideation. This process can be exacerbated in a conservative Christian religious setting, such as in the context of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (CJCLDS). Although CJCLDS doctrine embraces love for all, LGBTQ+ individuals experience discrimination, sometimes through subtle verbal/nonverbal barbs called microaggressions. There is limited research on this intersection of experience, which makes it difficult to understand how to help the individuals being adversely affected. This study seeks …
Mediating Factors Of Family Risk And Parent-Child Interaction Quality, Gable Munn
Mediating Factors Of Family Risk And Parent-Child Interaction Quality, Gable Munn
Fall Student Research Symposium 2020
Medium or high family risk is defined as having 2 or more risk factors as present in intake surveys in the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project (EHSREP). Previous research has shown that high and medium risk families are more prone to negative parent-child interactions (Steele et al., 2016), but mediating variables are not clear. We hypothesize that parental stress and familial conflict are significant mediating variables between family risk and parent-child interaction quality. We also suspect that stress will have a more significant effect (Mak et al., 2020). The present study used extant data from the EHSREP (N=3001) …
What's The Difference Between Undergraduate Online Students And Face-To-Face Students?, Janice Snow
What's The Difference Between Undergraduate Online Students And Face-To-Face Students?, Janice Snow
Fall Student Research Symposium 2020
Online education has been growing at increasing rates. Online higher education students increased from 21.4% of students taking at least one online class in 2007, to 32.5% of students in 2012 (Kentnor, 2015). To date, there is no available research regarding differential resources relating to distance and traditional students in traditional university settings, however, logic dictates that online students may not receive the same resources as traditional students (e.g., in-person computer labs, counseling services, additional student support offices). Meaningful interactions with faculty and peers, honors societies, clubs, research and service-learning opportunities, academic and logistical support are not commonly available to …
Early Social-Emotional Development In Children Of Mothers With Psychological Risk, Haylie Demercy
Early Social-Emotional Development In Children Of Mothers With Psychological Risk, Haylie Demercy
Fall Student Research Symposium 2020
Healthy child development depends on the ability of parents to put in necessary involvement and attention to respond to children's emotions and communication cues (Roggman, 2016). Maternal depression (Paulson et al., 2006) and parenting stress (Coyl et al., 2002) can reduce maternal responsiveness and is a risk factor for negative child social-emotional outcomes (El-Sheikh et al., 2009). The purpose of this study is to investigate how participation in Early Head Start (EHS), an early intervention program that provides families with individualized intervention services, affects social-emotional development for children of mothers with high and low psychological risk. Extant longitudinal data from …
The Impacts Of Sars-Cov-2 On Student Mental Health And Academic Outcomes, Janice Snow
The Impacts Of Sars-Cov-2 On Student Mental Health And Academic Outcomes, Janice Snow
Fall Student Research Symposium 2020
In the spring 2020 semester, colleges and universities throughout the country made sudden shifts to online instruction due to SARS-CoV-2. Many institutions had as little as 1 weeks' notice and 64% of instructors reported having no online teaching experience (Johnson, Veletsianos, & Seaman, 2020). These educational adjustments are not the only added stressors for students and instructors. Additional stressors during the pandemic included health concerns for self and family members, childcare responsibilities increasing for individuals with families, financial instability, and finding accommodations for persons with disabilities. We conducted two separate but related surveys of undergraduate students during the end of …
A Closer Look At The Modern Bond Between Dogs And Humans, Mallory Colwell
A Closer Look At The Modern Bond Between Dogs And Humans, Mallory Colwell
Fall Student Research Symposium 2020
For this project, I wanted to take a closer look at a human's bond with their dog. This bond has been there for centuries, but recently has produced some distinct phenomenon. I believe that dog movies, dog birthdays, and dog social media showcase the modern human to dog relationship. Looking at these occurrences can give a better picture our bonds with our pets. It can also provide insight for ourselves as people.
