Abstract: The purpose of our study was to study the prevalence of exercise dependence (EXD) among college students and to investigate the role of EXD and gender on exercise behavior and eating disorders. Excessive exercise can become an addiction known as exercise dependence. In our population of 517 college students, 3.3% were at risk for EXD and 8% were at risk for an eating disorder. We used Path analysis the simplest case of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate the role of EXD and exercise behavior on eating disorders. We observed a small direct effect from gender to eating disorders. …

Adventist Librarianship: Worth Writing About [Poster], Terry Dwain Robertson, Lauren Matacio Jul 2014

Adventist Librarianship: Worth Writing About [Poster], Terry Dwain Robertson, Lauren Matacio

Terry Dwain Robertson

A Festschrift style publication would provide a venue for SDA Librarians to publish research and develop a body of professional literature that addresses the needs of SDA libraries and librarians. It is proposed because it does not involve specific time dead- lines and allows for short-term commitments for editorial leadership. It is also an accepted method of acknowledging and recognizing esteemed colleagues.


Classifying Ethnographic Photographs From Tall Hisban: Toward An Improved Process For Analyzing Old Photographs From Jordan, Doneva Walker Jul 2014

Classifying Ethnographic Photographs From Tall Hisban: Toward An Improved Process For Analyzing Old Photographs From Jordan, Doneva Walker

Posters, Presentations, and Papers

The goal of this project is to come up with an improved process for classifying and analyzing hundreds of ethnographic photographs collected by LaBianca and his students during the original Heshbon Expedition (1971-1976) in Jordan. To this end expedition photographs are being scanned and entered into the computer using NVivo, a commercial qualitative data analysis software. As photographs are being entered they are being categorized using two frameworks: the food system observation guide originally proposed by LaBianca (1990) and the “seven little traditions” framework proposed more recently by LaBianca & Witzel (2007). The findings resulting from this experiment in categorization …

P-04 Processing Load And Biopotentials: An Evaluation Of A Consumer Electroencephalogram (Eeg), Kristen Bishop Mar 2014

P-04 Processing Load And Biopotentials: An Evaluation Of A Consumer Electroencephalogram (Eeg), Kristen Bishop

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

The general public is extremely interested in mental training and the use of brain imaging to study the mind. One device that combines the two and is currently on the market for consumers is a single channel EEG band produced by NeuroSky which claims to measure concentration. However, the claims that they have developed a single channel measure of concentration and meditation have not been tested. EEG power is related to cognitive memory and performance, which both contribute to concentration. In addition to EEG waves, pupil size is a reliable physiological index of processing load and concentration. The first purpose …


P-05 Visual Cognition While Listening To Stories, Nathalie Borges Mar 2014

P-05 Visual Cognition While Listening To Stories, Nathalie Borges

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

Different people have different perceptual patterns in response to language. Different language accents may influence one’s visual cognition by referencing to certain objects when listening to stories. The purpose of this study is to record differences in eye movement patterns while listening to stories by manipulating the auditory stimulus and cognitive load. Using the eye tracker, eye movement patterns will be recorded as subjects look at objects on a screen. I posit that subjects will delay eye movement patterns to target objects while listening to stories in a foreign accent as opposed to an American accent because of increased cognitive …

P-06 The Diversity Of Color: An Analysis Of Cross-Cultural Color Symbolism, Erica Bradfield

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

Does a person’s perception of color symbolism depend on their cultural geographic origin? As color is often connected to different cultural elements, this study is intended as a contribution to advancing cross-cultural understanding in a globalizing world. The hypothesis states that the color perceived to be symbolic of various life events such as weddings, births, and deaths or emotions such as happiness and sadness, will vary based on a person’s cultural geographic origin. Using eleven basic color terms, as determined by Berlin and Kay (1969), subjects’ perceptions of color symbolism will be explored through responses to an online survey shared …


P-07 The Role Of Sabbath Keeping Internalization, Need Satisfaction, And Parental Environment In Well-Being, Paola Caceres Mar 2014

P-07 The Role Of Sabbath Keeping Internalization, Need Satisfaction, And Parental Environment In Well-Being, Paola Caceres

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

Identifying which specific religious practices promote religious internalization is crucial in understanding the relationship between religious practice and well-being. The current study seeks to use an episodic memory recall technique along with surveys to examine whether the relationship between internalization of Sabbath-keeping and well-being is mediated by basic need satisfaction (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and parental environment. The relationships between Sabbath-keeping narratives, well-being, Sabbath-keeping internalization, need satisfaction, and perception of parental environment among life-long Adventists are also examined. I will discuss internalization of religion using the Self-Determination Theory-based models of Sabbath keeping proposed by Diddams, Surdyk, & Daniels (2004).


P-13 The Relationship Between Student Motivation, Resilience, And Parental Environment, Eliana Iller Mar 2014

P-13 The Relationship Between Student Motivation, Resilience, And Parental Environment, Eliana Iller

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

The goal of this research is to better understand how student motivation and resilience are related to parental environment, distinguishing between parental involvement and parental conflict. Student motivation was measured based on the reasons that students endorse for why they are studying. I predict that parental involvement will be positively related to motivation and resilience and that parental conflict will be negatively related to motivation and resilience. I will also be examining the interactions between parental and child genders and environment, motivation, and resilience. I will discuss the correlations among these variables and their implications.
