Would You Marry You? Black America & Marriage, Justin Nyke Coleman, Terry Esper Phd
Black Issues Conference
"Would You Marry You? Black America & Marriage"- The lack of marriage is becoming an epidemic in the black community. In this PowerPoint based discussion we will go over the state of black marriage as we college students see it. We will also discuss the difference in the statistical upbringing of a child from a household with one parent compared to a child from a married household looking into the likelihood of going to prison, going to college, and getting married themselves. We will also take the time to turn the mirror on ourselves and ask the question, Would You …

We Can Do It! (But Should We?), Lindsey Odom
Graduate Research Symposium (GCUA) (2010 - 2017)
First dates represent an important early event in the development of dating relationships. Commonly, date initiation is a behavior in which men take control. In the past few decades, however, more women attempted this task. Women initiating dates is a deviation from cultural norms or what society views as appropriate behavior. The deviation in behavior could have negative repercussions for women. For this study, perceptions of women who initiate dates are investigated. By examining the expectedness and violation valence of the behavior through Expectancy Violations Theory, insight is provided into the perceptions of this dating trend.

Graduate Research Symposium (GCUA) (2010 - 2017)
Abstract: In the fifteen years since the explosion of the Internet, using cyber technology for work & social functions has exponentially increased. Yet the questions around how to manage such changes remain elusive in family therapy literature. In this investigation, we conducted a content analysis to determine to what extent marriage & family therapy (MFT) journals have responded to the integration of the Internet in couple & family life. We found 79 of 13,274 articles across seventeen journals focused on the Internet in some capacity supporting the contention that cyber issues are largely ignored within the MFT field.

•Unemployment and economic hardships are issues in the lives of clients serviced by marriage and family therapists (MFTs).
• “Counseling the Unemployed” program was created within a university-based clinical setting to help meet such needs.
•Student MFTs were educated on effects of unemployment, coping strategies, and then shared what was helpful in addressing such issues via an online qualitative survey.
•Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relational problems were reported to be common symptoms of clients who presented with unemployment issues.
•A degree of hopelessness and helplessness in the clients when compared to clients who did not present with issues related …
Conflict Resolution And Attachment Security: Long Distance Versus Geographically Close Romantic Relationships, Meenakshi Palaniappan
Conflict Resolution And Attachment Security: Long Distance Versus Geographically Close Romantic Relationships, Meenakshi Palaniappan
Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD
The adult attachment theory states that physical proximity is vital for romantic relationship stability. Attachment styles are linked to relational conflict resolution, with secure individuals likely to use mutually-focused, and insecure individuals likely to use avoiding strategies. Communication research has shown that long distance couples accentuate positive affect and minimize differences. Therefore, it was hypothesized that long distance couples will engage in greater avoidant conflict resolution than geographically close couples. The participants included 94 college students. A MANOVA revealed a trend opposing the hypothesis. Long distance couples used less avoidant conflict resolution than geographically close couples, irrespective of attachment style.

The evolutionary approach argues that genetic similarity contributes to greater social similarity due to their desire to protect their genes. The social perspective model argues that loneliness is impacted by social relationships. It is hypothesized that MZ twins will show support for the evolutionary perspective, having the closest levels of loneliness, and will have levels comparable to FFs (Segal, 2000). It is hypothesized that loneliness means will show the following pattern: MZ < DZ = FS < VT with MZ = FF. Additionally, it is hypothesized that there will be a gender difference in loneliness in that M > F (Junttila & Vauras, 2009).
Participants were 300 pairs of children (8-12 years), who took part in the TAPS Study. The hypothesis was examined using 54 pairs of …

From a behavioral genetic perspective, similar experiences between siblings will vary by genetic relatedness. The purpose of the present study was to examine parental differential treatment across twins, siblings, and adoptees using a genetic model. Mothers of 54 monozygotic (MZ) twins, 86 dizygotic (DZ) twins, 68 full siblings (FS), and 43 same-aged adoptees (VT) reported their differential treatment of both siblings in three dimensions: school, play, and discipline. The results supported our genetic hypothesis, with a significant effect for dyad type, F (9, 581) = 2.47, p<0.01.
Case Study Of An Art Intervention For Older Foster Youth, Ashley Plushnik, Sarah Morris
Case Study Of An Art Intervention For Older Foster Youth, Ashley Plushnik, Sarah Morris
Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD
Fostering Art is a photography intervention for adolescent foster youth. Participants in the evaluation study completed a pretest at the start and a posttest upon completion of the one-year program. Seven participants completed both the pre and posttest in their first year of the program. Data about demographics, general feelings, and expression of feelings, as well as standardized measures of self-esteem and stress were collected.,. Results suggest that alternatives to traditional mental health treatment for older foster youth, such as a photography class, may be an effective method of providing stability and continuity for these vulnerable youth.

Attachment Intervention With Parents And Infants In Early Substance Abuse Recovery, Rosana Aguilar
Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD
The current study evaluates the impact of a 10-week infant massage intervention program designed to increase attachment between parents in a drug rehabilitation facility and their infants. Parents were interviewed before and after the intervention. Analyses revealed a non-significant decrease in parental stress. Depression scores were essentially the same before and after the intervention. Knowledge of infant development scores revealed non-significant trends demonstrated higher levels of knowledge after the completion of the intervention. Parents who completed the intervention indicated that they learned about infant development, how to understand and soothe their baby, and how to communicate with their baby.

Type 1 Diabetes And Its Effects On Active/Inactive Goal Priming For Exercise, Kevin Seske, Jason Themanson, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
This study determines whether priming (active or inactive) for exercise can be influenced by a chronic disease such as type 1 diabetes. Results were analyzed using a 2x2 between-subjects ANOVA to examine the influences of goal priming and a hypothetical chronic illness (type 1 diabetes) on the participant’s intention to engage in active/inactive behaviors. Participants who were actively primed remained active even after the hypothetical diabetes diagnosis. Additionally, for participants that were inactively primed and given type 1 diabetes increased their active behavior outcomes/choices relative to those participants who were not given type 1 diabetes after being inactively primed. The …

Life History Theory And The Sexual Double Standard, Yuliana Zaikman, Amanda Vicary, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
The present study sought to examine the relationship between the sexual double standard and life history theory. The sexual double standard is the idea that a man is rewarded for sexual behavior, whereas a woman is derogated. Life history theory posits that females who grow up with estranged relationships with their fathers or in divorced households view dating and relationships differently than do other females. To investigate a possible relation between life history theory and the double standard, we had participants report on their interactions with their parents and then rate fictional male or female targets who reported having had …
