The Impact Of Covid-19 Related Stress On Parenting And Community Engagement In A Small Iowa Community, Danny Trip, Savanna Farley

Research in the Capitol

This study addresses the question, “Does COVID-19-related stress and household income during COVID-19 predict parents’ interactions with children and family community engagement one year later?” The hypothesis was that higher levels of COVID-19-related stress and lower household income would predict more negative interactions between parent and the focal child and less community engagement. The participants within this study were drawn from a larger ongoing study, the Dubuque Youth and Family Resilience Project (DYFRP). Control variables included household income, child’s gender, and child’s age. The independent variable was reported COVID-19 related stress and the dependent variables were community engagement, positive parenting …

I Failed My Brother: How Online Radicalization Affects The Family Unit, Serenity Kollasch

Research in the Capitol

This research aims to understand the impacts of online radicalization on the family unit, with a specific focus on the immediate emotional toll on household members of individuals who have been radicalized through online platforms. My goals include understanding family members’ emotions, exploring their personal experiences, distinguishing radicalization from exposure, and analyzing online radicalization from the family’s perspective. I hope to answer the following: What are the mental and emotional effects of online radicalization on the immediate family members of individuals who have been exposed to or subscribe to radical and extremist beliefs online? This data will hopefully contribute to …

Senatorial Behavior In Recent Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings, Alex Perrin, Donna Hoffman

Research in the Capitol

Supreme Court confirmation hearings in the Senate have heightened stakes in today's political environment. The public stands at attention while Senators engage in questions and dialogue with the nominees. With increased stakes after the 2016 removal of the filibuster, Senators are in a prominent position to demonstrate their opposition to a nominee during the hearing. This study shows how Senators have quantitatively changed their tactics since 2016. I show this by examining the transcripts of the six most recent hearings (Roberts, Alito, Sotomayor, Kagan, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh). I was able to show that opposition Senators engage in significantly more back-and-forth …

Empathy, Education, & Empowerment: Reflections On The World Of Dementia, Samantha Heyer, Jordan Neely, Sarah Stegge, Elaine M. Eshbaugh

Research in the Capitol

At the Dementia Simulation House, we offer the opportunity for participants to experience what life may be like for someone living with dementia in a home setting. About 80% of individuals living with dementia live at home in the community, and we aim to show participants what it might be like for these individuals to complete chores and activities of daily living. During the simulation, we put gear on an individual to simulate dementia. Then participants go through a debriefing which involves writing a reaction word. We sorted the reaction words and calculated percentages on the popularity/common phrases or words …

Political Orientation And Moral Values: Examining Their Effects On Susceptibility To Misinformation, Makayla L. Hall, Jordan A. Neely, Helen C. Harton

Research in the Capitol

According to past research, political misinformation is prevalent within social media, where information often goes unchecked. Both liberals and conservatives tend to believe misinformation that supports their beliefs. Values emphasized also tend to differ by political orientation, with liberals being more concerned with issues of harm, fairness, and universalism, and conservatives, with loyalty, authority, purity, and self-reliance. This study examines whether misinformation susceptibility is influenced by which of these values the information appeals to. 136 participants read social media posts that either supported or did not support their party’s platforms and that appealed to one of the seven values. They …

Characterization Of Mtdna Minicircles In A Chewing Louse, Geomydoecus Centralis, John Lehmkuhl, Grace Mraz, James W. Demastes, Theresa A. Spradling

Research in the Capitol

The DNA of living organisms is packaged into chromosomes differently in different species, but typically following a standard set of "rules." Understanding how DNA can be packaged for different species provides a better understanding of life and the genetic rules that must be followed, and the "rules" that can be broken. Mitochondria are crucial subcomponents of cells, providing the energy for life. Mitochondria always have their own mtDNA. In our study, we have learned that chewing lice mtDNA differs from that of other animals by spreading the genes across 12 separate small, circular chromosomes instead of one large, circular chromosome. …

Gender Socialization And Social Media In College Students' Fear Of Crime, Ashlyn Miller

Research in the Capitol

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between gender, viewing crime related material on social media, and fear of crime experienced by college students. While violent crime rates have fallen, the majority of college students report levels of crime are increasing. Many individuals lack both knowledge and experience related to crime, leading media exposure to influence their levels of fear. Previous research has focused on television media related to fear of crime with little research on social media, the preferred media source of young adults. College students (n = 126) from a midwestern university completed a survey …

Redefining 21st Century Evangelicalism, Anna Mcdowell

Research in the Capitol

Though evangelicalism is a buzzword in modern America and is typically associated with politics, the evangelical movement began in eighteenth-century America. In the 21st century, evangelicalism proves difficult to define. Though some thinkers define evangelicalism using theological distinctives, the movement has become bound with politics in the minds of many Americans. As a result, evangelicalism typically has negative connotations. Even though many people define evangelicalism in its American context, evangelicalism has spanned the globe and impacts people from diverse backgrounds. The purpose of this project is to explore how evangelicalism has been defined and the impacts of American and global …

“Sit Still, Look Pretty To Survive”: An Analysis Of The Hunger Games Trilogy, Bryleigh De Jong

Research in the Capitol

At the end of a decade, a literary trilogy became a new pop culture phenomenon, The Hunger Games. The theme of appearance frequently stood out on page, however, was it truly translated on screen? Film adaptation theory explains the road to adapting a piece of literature to film is a process. All of those involved throughout the creation of cinema impact how we, as audience members, see said media. Consider the professions of the script writers, the director's ideals versus the thoughts of the author, the question of involving the original writer, creativity of the adapted world, and the audience's …

An Automated Method To Detect Tooth Brushing Activity With Smartwatch Sensors, Blake Schleter, Marina Avdonina, Rishiraj Adhikary, Dheryta Jaisinghani, Sougata Sen

Research in the Capitol

Nearly half (46%) of all adults aged 30 years or older show signs of gum disease; severe gum disease affects about 9% of adults.

Brushing your teeth is an incredibly important part of taking care of your oral health and daily hygiene. Dentists recommend that you should brush your teeth twice a day for periods of at least two minutes to achieve adequate results and promote oral health.

Currently, there are very limited solutions available to help people easily and efficiently track their tooth brushing activity.
