Adaptive Coping For Covid-Related Stress, Sandra Maloy

Undergraduate Research Conference

The restrictions placed on society by the COVID- 19 pandemic for the purpose of limiting spread of the disease appear to have produced a different set of potential chronic health issues. Through lockdown and social distancing measures the general public lost access to key elements of daily life. The literature and qualitative interview data primarily support a negative association between participation in spiritual and physical activity and COVID-19 related stress. These findings are not surprising based on previous research investigating coping and other chronic stressors.

Returning What Was Lost: Reengaging And Reconnecting Students Through Community Engagement, Mackenzie Pendarvis, Danyelle Richardson

Undergraduate Research Conference

Humanistic geographers have referred to the theory of sense of place as a personal connection with place, built up over both years of residence and involvement in the community (Hay, 1988). Community engagement activities such as the SFA Stone Fort Museum’s “Esperanza’s Night Out” provided a venue for the students to belong to a place after the pandemic. Students were able to reconnect and reengage through a collaborative event with the university and the local community.

Know Your Facts Get Vaxxed, Rosa Rodriguez, Kortney Fauntleroy, Isobel Folan

2022 Student Academic Showcase

For this project, our team focused on formulating a campaign that would encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. COVID-19 vaccinations are low in the Saint Charles area for young adults, and teenagers. Due to the St Charles Public Health Department contacting us due to the continued low vaccine rates, we focused our COVID-19 Vaccine campaign on high schoolers and young adults. In addition to analyzing national data, we interviewed the St.Charles Public health department to gather data and interviewed current high school capstone students from the St Charles Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS) to understand why vaccine uptake was so low. After …

Bodies Of Beauty, Tyaira Mackay

Student Research Symposium

The rates of eating disorder diagnoses amongst young people in the United States has gradually increased, while beauty standards have gained more prevalence. These beauty standards have become more unrealistic and glorify frail, stick-like bodies. This research aims to discover if there is any correlation between these unhealthy standards and the development and diagnosis of eating disorders. To conduct my research, I used library and internet sources to gather a pool of primary and secondary sources. I used sources by underrepresented scholars concerning different body standards as well as information given by eating disorder clinics to gain a better understanding …

Language Revitalization: Strategies To Reverse Language Shift, Jessica Martin

Student Research Symposium

Language shift, the process by which a language loses speakers until it becomes extinct, is occurring in speech communities all over the world. This process is influenced by internal and external political, social, and economic factors unique to each community. As its causes and effects are not uniform, a universal model for reversing language shift does not exist. However, several broad principles can be applied across multiple contexts and situations for successful language revitalization. It is essential for the speech community to be the primary decision maker in any program. A thorough assessment of the community’s current status, challenges, and …

The Development Of Controlled Attention, Lexie Scott, Katelin Pyfer

Student Research Symposium

The ability to maintain items of information within working memory is depending on the ability to allocate attention to items within WM. Individual differences in WM capacity may bedependent on the amount of information that can be held and maintained in the focus of attention. A basic question in cognitive development is whether individuals increase the capacity of the focus of attention or the efficiency with which they can process information. We examined the differences in typically developing children versus adults in the capacity and efficiency of attention control. In our study, children and young adults completed a dichotic attention …

Short Term Stability Of The Electrical Stapedial Reflex, Emilee Harris

Student Research Symposium

Electrical stapedial reflex threshold (eSRT) is an objective measurement of the stapedial reflex triggering in response to loud electrical stimulation through the CI electrode. eSRT has been a valuable clinical tool in mapping the Cochlear Implant (CI) electrodes upper limits. The main objective of this study is to validate the changes in the eSRT within and across CI patients over one year post activation. In this study retrospective clinical data were analyzed from 44 patients ranging in age from 1-88 years, with a total of 29 left ear devices and 31 right ear devices activated in the years 2013-2020 with …
