Body image, the opinion someone has of their own body, is an important construct to study as a poor body image is associated with many aspects of general well-being, such as poor quality of life (Duarte, Ferreira, Trindade, & Pinto-Gouveia, 2015; Griffiths et al., 2017), poor self-esteem (Furnham, Badmin & Sneade), and eating disorders (Polivy & Herman, 2002). Researchers have sought to identify factors predictive of the development body image in an effort to provide evidence-based programs to promote a healthy body image. Some factors associated with body image are social media usage, personality, and stress. In the present study …

Research also shows that red stimuli tend to have negative effects on performance in academic contexts, perhaps due to the psychological and physiological arousal. This study specifically investigates the effect of arousal on this relationship, being the first to investigate the relationship between red, time perception, arousal, and task performance on a concurrent task …

The purpose of this study is to assess possible predictors of stimulant use in college students. We define stimulant use as the consumption of caffeine or nicotine in any form. Researchers anticipate that stimulant use will be positively associated with procrastination, academic stress, and parental pressures. The current study uses a cross-sectional design. Participants responded to recruitment via SONA for Essentials of Psychology credit or social media posts by student researchers. Participants completed self-report questionnaires assessing various kinds of caffeine and nicotine (cigarettes, e-cigarettes, JUULs). We also asked about procrastination habits surrounding schoolwork using Lay’s Procrastination Scale. To assess academic …
