Econometric Analyses Across The Continuum Of Care For Individuals With Hearing Loss, Teresa I. Anthony

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Hearing loss affects individuals across the age span and, if left untreated, can lead to developmental delays and health and well-being concerns.

Readiness In Ncaa Division I Collegiate Scholarship Men’S Basketball Players: Seasonal Changes In Neuromuscular Performance Tracked Via Force Plate Metrics, Garrett Medenwald

Doctorate in Kinesiology

Monitoring neuromuscular performance across a competitive season is essential for managing training load, recovery, and readiness in elite athletes. Force plate–derived metrics from the hands-on-hips countermovement jump (HOH CMJ) are commonly used to assess neuromuscular status, yet limited longitudinal data exist in NCAA Division I men’s basketball, particularly on game days. The purpose of this study was to examine seasonal changes in HOH CMJ force-time metrics across three competitive phases—non-conference, conference, and postseason—in Division I men’s basketball players.

Nine NCAA Division I scholarship athletes performed three HOH CMJs on force plates within 30 minutes of game time throughout the 2024–2025 …

Connectedness And Belonging: An Autoethnography About Military Veteran Transition, Benjamin A. Smet

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Military veterans often face profound challenges transitioning to civilian life, yet prevailing narratives focus narrowly on PTSD and combat trauma. This dissertation uses autoethnography to broaden that view, blending personal narrative with theory to explore seven interrelated transition stressors: grief and bereavement, loss of military identity, autobiographical memory, service-connected nostalgia, moral injury, stereotype threat, and socialized masculinity and stoicism. These layered stories illuminate the cultural, emotional, and relational dimensions of transition, showing how isolation, disconnection, and loss of belonging shape veteran experiences as deeply as trauma. The analysis demonstrates that healing emerges not from prescriptive programs but from relational practices …

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Work stress and employee wellbeing have gained heightened attention since the COVID-19 pandemic. Until now, organizations have primarily sought to conceptualize these variables as an individual-level phenomenon; thereby neglecting the potential influence of social dynamics within the workplace. Drawing on conservation of resources and emotional contagion theories, this study examines the extent to which team-level emotional contagion moderates the impact of stress on wellbeing, factoring in multilevel effects. Data from 237 professional services employees nested within 41 teams was analyzed. The results show support for emotional contagion as a team-level moderator between individual-level work stress and employee wellbeing. The role …

Leveraging Gamification To Overcome Challenges In Undergraduate Research Motivation And Engagement, Harika Rao

Faculty and Staff Publications & Presentations

In an era where students are increasingly digitally immersed, traditional methods of motivating undergraduate research often fall short of fostering sustained engagement and intrinsic interest. This research explores the innovative potential of gamification as a transformative strategy to address these challenges. By integrating game elements—such as points, badges, leaderboards, and narrative-driven challenges—into undergraduate research curricula, the study aims to create immersive, interactive learning environments that reignite students’ curiosity, motivation and engagement. Drawing from interdisciplinary frameworks, including Self-Determination Theory and Flow Theory, the research investigates how gamified platforms influence students' perceptions of autonomy, competence, relatedness and immersion, ultimately enhancing their research …
