Lowering Disciplinary Rates: Looking At Social And Emotional Learning At Blackstone Academy Charter School, Ariel C. Davey
Lowering Disciplinary Rates: Looking At Social And Emotional Learning At Blackstone Academy Charter School, Ariel C. Davey
Public & Community Service Student Scholarship
Social and emotional learning is a method that may benefit school culture and the environment for a student’s learning. Including social and emotional learning to school curriculums, specifically schools that have large numbers of students of color enrolled, allows students to learn how to manage their behavior and emotions and in turn benefiting themselves and others in present and future relationships. With more social and emotional learning is happening in the classroom, discipline towards students may be reflected on and seen as more harmful than helpful to students. As the days pass by, discipline rates for students of color in …
Funding Childhood Science: Life Or Death, Kathleen Garvey
Funding Childhood Science: Life Or Death, Kathleen Garvey
Public & Community Service Student Scholarship
This thesis draws the connection between an individual’s early childhood science education, health literacy comprehension, and quality of health. A better understanding of science leads to an increased understanding of health, benefiting the individual’s own health care as a result. Thus, proper and equitable educational funding of schools for all districts, regardless of income wealth, is essential to public health. In this thesis I propose that integrating effective science curricula into early education can work to reduce disparities in health literacy and ultimately benefit public health. I wish that this thesis will bring awareness to not only the importance of …

She discusses the climate of mental health on college campuses by studying trends in help-seeking behaviors and mental health literacy. She also delves into barriers to treatment, such as racial disparities, low …

Service Work In Youth Development: The Power Behind Extracurriculars, Lyndsy Cadet
Public & Community Service Student Scholarship
At the heart of all underprivileged areas are underfunded public and charter schools that are not given a chance to properly educate the leaders of the future. The wealth disparities across school districts penalized students who live in low socioeconomic and non-dominant demographic neighborhoods. The biggest attack on educational rights is showcased through the achievement and opportunity gap in which the lack of funding and quality educational experience is limiting the quantity of knowledge students are obtaining in inner city, underfunded school districts. Students, regardless of socioeconomic or ethnic background deserve a chance at quality funded public schools in order …

A Study Of The Affects Of Religiosity On Mental Health At Providence College, Santanna Rocha
A Study Of The Affects Of Religiosity On Mental Health At Providence College, Santanna Rocha
Sociology Student Scholarship
Major: Sociology and Philosophy
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Brandon Martinez, Sociology
This research project aims to understand the connection, if any, between religiousness and mental health outcomes in college students. On a campus where many students and faculty engage in religious practices, either on campus or off, studying the affects of religion as a spiritual and psychological outlet proves to be a relevant concept for the Providence College community.

The International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) is a computer-based international assessment of eighth-grade students’ capacities “to use information communications technologies (ICT) productively for a range of different purposes, in ways that go beyond a basic use of ICT” (Fraillon, Ainley, Schulz, Duckworth and Friedman 2018). It is sponsored by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) and was first conducted in 2013 with 21 participating countries. The research papers that used ICILS 2013 data include Rohatgi, Scherer, and Hatlevik (2016), Scherer, Rohatgi, and Hatlevik …

Psychology Student Scholarship

Major: History
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Mary O’Keeffe, Psychology
Creating a Community: Stories of Resilience is inspired by both the work of MIT Professor Daniel Jackson, in Portraits of Resilience, and the concept of StoryCorps, an audio catalogue of “humanity’s stories.” We recorded tales of resilience from students, faculty, and staff at Providence College using the video chat program Zoom and the audio recording platform Zencastr. In doing so, we emphasized the “ordinary” nature of resilience and how basic protections like a healthy brain, close relationships, committed families, and effective communities have all …

This study explored the relationship between social and developmental measures of attachment, which tend to tap distinct but correlated dimensions of attachment (Crowell, Shaver, & Fraley, 2008). Participants (N = 161) completed the ECR-RS and the IPPA through Qualtrics. Results showed significant negative correlations between attachment-related avoidance and anxiety to attachment security, degree of mutual trust, and quality of communication, and significant positive correlations between attachment-related avoidance and …
Residential Segregation By Caste In The Indian States Of Gujarat And Karnataka, Alicia Terrero
Residential Segregation By Caste In The Indian States Of Gujarat And Karnataka, Alicia Terrero
Global Studies Student Scholarship
Major: Global Studies and Political Science
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Trina Vithayathil, Global Studies
This project looks at the Indian states of Gujarat and Karnataka and tries to identify why Gujarat has a higher degree of residential segregation than Karnataka. One factor that could explain this is the difference in level of solidarity at the subnational level for both states. Based on social expenditure data and inequality data, we find that Karnataka has higher levels of support for policies that further the collective good of the subnational (i.e. Kannada within Karnataka) community. This higher level of subnationalism and unity across social …
Low And Negative Foreign Interest Rates: Their Impact On The Level Of Foreign Holdings Of U.S. Treasury Bills, Christopher Arnold
Low And Negative Foreign Interest Rates: Their Impact On The Level Of Foreign Holdings Of U.S. Treasury Bills, Christopher Arnold
Economics Student Scholarship
Major: Business Economics
Minor: Finance and Spanish
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Fang Dong and Dr. Leo Kahane, Economics
Largely motivated by the recent yield curve inversion, the paper examines the effect of a negative interest rate environment abroad on foreign countries holdings of U.S. Treasuries. The study uses a panel dataset covering 95 developed countries over 16 years, including economic and financial composition variables, as well as push and pull factors that impact capital flows. The study uses Poisson regression as its estimation method and ultimately finds that countries facing a negative real interest rate are expected to hold 24% more …
