Undergraduate Research Symposium Posters

The meta-mood experience involves "thinking about mood, examining the relation between mood and thoughts, maintaining good moods, and altering bad moods" (Mayer & Gaschke, 1988). Meta-mood can help individuals have a better grasp of what they are feeling at different times.

The 30-item Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS; Salovey et al., 1995) measures the extent to which people attend to, distinguish among, and regulate their mood and emotions.

Salovey et al. (1995) found three factors (Emotional Attention, Clarity, and Repair), while Palmer et al. (2003) found evidence for a fourth but left it unnamed.

We named the fourth factor in our …

As BTS is currently the most popular K-pop group globally, they provide a unique look at how their music can help fans with depression and anxiety.

Climate Change Hope Scale: Factor Analysis In An Adult Sample, Gemma Ortega, Steven J. Glover, Jesse Tabaczynksi, Orei Z. Odents

Undergraduate Research Symposium Posters

Willpower - how much individuals believe that set goals can be met. Waypower - the extent to which individuals can think of strategies for accomplishing those goals.

The Climate Change Hope Scale (CCHS; Li & Monroe, 2017) was designed to measure three aspects of hope: 1. Personal sphere willpower and waypower (WP) 2. Collective sphere willpower and waypower (CW) 3. Lack of willpower and waypower (LW).

A three-factor model fits the CCHS among adolescents. The purpose of our study was to determine if the three-factor model fits the CCHS in adults.

Cytokine Cxcl2 Concentration In The Cerebrospinal Fluid Of Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Is Associated With Patient-Reported Headache Pain, Elizabeth Glisic, Joanne T. Dekay, Patricia Lerwick, David J. Gagnon, Richard Riker, Sergey Ryzhov

Costas T. Lambrew Research Retreat 2022

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a severe type of stroke categorized by a sharp, sudden, and persistent headache. The mechanism of headache after SAH is currently poorly understood but the neuro-inflammatory response has been identified as a target in understanding the causes of headache after SAH. A better understanding of this mechanism may lead to identification of molecular targets for therapeutic reduction of headache pain and improving outcomes after SAH. In this study, we collected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients hospitalized with SAH and conducted a cytokine array to screen for soluble factors involved in SAH-associated headache Introduction
