Assessing The Relationships Between Self-Compassion, Perfectionistic Types, Resilience, And The “Big Five”, Clara A. Baker
Assessing The Relationships Between Self-Compassion, Perfectionistic Types, Resilience, And The “Big Five”, Clara A. Baker
Brescia Psychology Undergraduate Honours Theses
Self-compassion is a non-evaluative, protective, and positive attitude comprised of three components: (a) self-kindness, whereby in times of suffering or failure, one is understanding towards themselves, (b) common humanity, referring to the understanding that one’s experiences are part of a larger collective experience, and (c) mindfulness, where one remains conscious of painful thoughts without over-identifying with them (Neff, 2003a). Increasing self-compassion has been shown to improve mental health outcomes, and is related to the concepts of perfectionism, trait resilience, and the five-factor model of personality (Macbeth & Gumley, 2012). The current study assessed the relationships between adaptive, maladaptive, and non-perfectionism …
The Effects Of Intimacy And Parental Bonding On The Psychological Well-Being Of University Aged Women, Samantha G. Delmage
The Effects Of Intimacy And Parental Bonding On The Psychological Well-Being Of University Aged Women, Samantha G. Delmage
Brescia Psychology Undergraduate Honours Theses
This study investigated whether students who had high perceived parental bonding and low fear of intimacy would have a more positive level of psychological well-being. Additionally, the study sought to determine any differences between a single parent household and a two parent household. The sample consisted of 93 female undergraduate students in University in London, Ontario. An independent t-test revealed there was no significant differences in bonding between a single parent household and a two parent household. A multiple regression analysis revealed that perceived parental bonding and fear of intimacy were significant predictors of psychological well-being. A significant positive correlation …

Social Connectedness And Its Relation To Perceived Stress And Loneliness, Foluke Olusegun-Emmanuel
Brescia Psychology Undergraduate Honours Theses
This study evaluated university students’ levels of overall social connectedness, perceived stress, loneliness, and strength of social connection with different groups (family, friends, classmates, instructors, university community). Associations between the aforementioned factors were also investigated, and time-related changes to 2020-21 data during COVID-19. Undergraduate students (n = 100) at a university in London, Ontario, completed a questionnaire comprising the Social Connectedness Scale, questions about the strength of social connections with different groups, the UCLA Loneliness Scale, and the Perceived Stress Scale. A correlational analysis revealed significant, negative correlations between social connectedness and perceived stress and loneliness. A repeated measures ANOVA …

Working Memory During The Menstrual Cycle: A Study Of The Role Of The Different Phases Of The Menstrual Cycle On Working Memory, Daniella Brownrigg
Brescia Psychology Undergraduate Honours Theses
This study investigated the role of the menstrual cycle phases (Follicular, Luteal and Menstruation) on working memory components (verbal and visuospatial). Eighty-eight undergraduate students attending Brescia University college completed a survey regarding: demographics, menstrual cycle information and working memory cognitive tasks. The cognitive tasks were the Corsi Block Tapping Test and a shorter version of the Hooper Visual Organization test for visuospatial working memory; and the Forward Digit Span Test and the Semantic Verbal Fluency Subset: Animals from the Barcelona Test for verbal working memory. Participants were categorized into the different menstrual phases they were experiencing. No significant differences were …
Exploring Support Seeking Behaviours Of First-Year Students To Predict Academic Performance, Easha Faisal
Exploring Support Seeking Behaviours Of First-Year Students To Predict Academic Performance, Easha Faisal
Brescia Psychology Undergraduate Honours Theses
Academic performance during first year is critical in determining student retention rates, later undergraduate performance, and career related prospects. Previous literature has assessed importance of predictors individually. This study combined predictors to develop a model to predict academic performance of first-year students (n = 90) based on motivated learning strategies and on-campus resource use. An online survey was created to evaluate students’ help-seeking (HS), peer learning (PL), self-efficacy (SE), perceived social support (PSS) and access to social support (SSA) and academic support (ASA) resources. Consistent with previous research, SE was the strongest predictor of academic performance. Additionally, HS, SE, ASA, …
The Impact Of Sleep On Academic Burnout With The Effects Of Perceived Stress And General Well-Being, Julia D. Davidson
The Impact Of Sleep On Academic Burnout With The Effects Of Perceived Stress And General Well-Being, Julia D. Davidson
Brescia Psychology Undergraduate Honours Theses
This study investigated the correlation between sleep deprivation, sleep quality, perceived stress, and general well-being and whether they were risk or protective factors for academic burnout. The sample consisted of 61 female undergraduate students at Brescia University College and participants completed an online questionnaire. A correlational analysis and multiple regression model revealed a significant positive correlation with the three studied factors namely sleep deprivation, sleep quality, and perceived stress with academic burnout. However, general well-being was not significantly correlated. The model that best predicted burnout scores included the variables of sleep deprivation, sleep quality, and perceived stress. Together, these findings …

Effects Of Childhood Activities On Spatial Skills, Bronwyn Lacey
Brescia Psychology Undergraduate Honours Theses
This study investigated the association between childhood activities and later spatial abilities. Additionally, the impact of sex and hometown was tested. Undergraduate students completed a demographics question asking about their hometown, along with the Santa Barbara Sense of Direction (SBSOD; Hegarty et al., 2002) questionnaire, the Card Rotation Test (CRT; Ekstrom et al., 1979), the newly revised version of the SAQ, the Southern California Spatial Activities Questionnaire (SoCalSAQ; Munns et al., 2022), the Paper Folding Test (PFT; Ekstrom et al., 1976), and the Childhood Wayfinding Experience (CWE; Lawton & Kallai, 2002)) questionnaire. The results indicated a non-significant association between childhood …
