Overall, results from this study show that Montana residents hold a generally positive attitude towards tourism in the state. Residents are aware of the economic benefit that tourism provides to their communities, and agree that the overall benefits outweigh the negative impacts. Perceptions of crowding at the statewide and community level appear to be easing from previous years.

The Psychological Impact Of Climate Change Reminders, Brit King

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

In addition to the ongoing and anticipated destruction of the environment, climate change threatens the mental well-being of humanity on a global scale. Climate change has been conceptualized as a form of existential anxiety due to its acute, chronic, and expected (yet uncertain) effects (Zotova & Karapetyan, 2018). Younger generations will be more directly impacted by the long-term effects of climate change and have been burdened with a greater responsibility to minimize its destruction (Hausfather, 2020). Furthermore, young people are at an increased risk of psychological impacts from climate change and have reported high levels of climate-related anxiety and distress …

Transdiagnostic Responses To And Characteristics Of Potentially Traumatic Events Involving Causing Harm To Others, Olathe Bigknife Antonio, Julia Nicholson

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Outside of military contexts, limited research explores who experiences trauma/stress related to causing harm to others, the frequency of this type of potentially traumatic event (PTE), and the most relevant symptoms. The current study includes an online global sample who reported experiencing a difficult or frightening event. In reference to the identified PTE, participants completed the Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS). The GPS is a self-report measure offered in 21 languages and consists of 22 yes/no items related to the experience of 17 psychological symptoms within the past month (items cover subdomains of PTSD, complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, self-harm, dissociation, …

Is Circle Time Enough Language Input To Learn Grammatical Gender?, Madeline Grace Strah

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

In the United States, little is known about second language learning in the context of public preschools. However, we do know that dual immersion programs have for the most part been limited to private or charter schools, with fewer than 3600 programs available nationwide. This raises the question of whether it’s even possible for public educators to facilitate second language learning through small group activities. Additionally, is the language input received during this small group enough language input for children to acquire a feature absent from their first language, like grammatical and lexical gender? Research has shown that opportunities where …

Style: A Sociolinguistic Analysis, Clarise Ann Sviatko

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Continuously changing and always present, style appears in an individual’s life in more ways than one. Along with the clothes you wear and the way you do your hair, style is seen all throughout language every day. The way someone speaks to one person may differ from the way they speak to another. The environment a speaker is in may also influence how they speak. The way we speak to our close friends in private differs from the way we speak to others in more formal and professional settings. We choose the way we speak depending on who is around …

Stem Course Taking Patterns Of Transferred Students From Tribal College, Shurong Li

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Montana largest race/ethnic non-While population is Native Americans (NAs) - 8.2% of the population compared to 1.7% nationally (American Community Survey 2017; U.S. Census Bureau, 2015). Montana, known for its expansive Native American reservation territories, is also home to a significant number of tribal colleges.

While tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) play a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage and fostering academic growth, Native American students face distinctive challenges when they graduate from a TCU and transfer to a 4-year institution outside their reservations. These challenges include maintaining a sense of community connection, encountering a lack of cultural competence in …

Prdm3 Protein Purification: An Optimized Approach For Structural Understanding, Ifeoluwa A. Dada

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Investigating proteins involved in driving cancer progression is crucial for advancing therapeutic strategies. PRDM3 (PR/SET domain-containing 3) has emerged as a key player in sustaining ovarian tumors. To facilitate an in-depth study of PRDM3, obtaining the protein in substantial quantities with a high-level purity through recombinant expression is imperative.

The methodology comprises a series of steps: integrating the PRDM3 gene fused with an affinity tag into a plasmid; transferring the engineered plasmid into bacterial cells; expressing the affinity-tagged protein (fusion protein) within the bacterial cells and harvesting them. Cell lysis and protein extraction are then conducted, followed by affinity chromatography …

Implicit Bias In Speech-Language Pathology: A Journey Towards Inclusive Care, Jackie Sullivan

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

To gauge implicit bias in communication sciences and disorders (CSD), the proposed study aims to understand how identity as racial/ethnic or linguistic minority affects individuals’ diagnoses with speech-language disorders. In addition, we aim to see whether clinicians’ identities as black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) or non-standard language speakers affect their biases. Prior work has shown that clinicians' explicit racial biases affect patient care, matching expectations, but little work has examined bias of language variety spoken by patients or clinicians’ implicit biases. Many institutions fail to mandate cultural competency training, contributing to systemic issues. Our planned research explores and …
