Perceived Ability To Regulate Love, Kruti Surti, Sandra Langeslag
Psychology Faculty Works
Research has shown that romantic love can be regulated. We investigated perceptions about love regulation, because these perceptions may impact mental health and influence love regulation application. Two-hundred eighty-six participants completed a series of items online via Qualtrics that assessed perceived ability to up- and down-regulate, exaggerate and suppress the expression of, and start and stop different love types. We also tested individual differences in perceived love regulation ability. Participants thought that they could up- but not down-regulate love in general and that they could up-regulate love in general more than down-regulate it. Participants thought that they could up-regulate infatuation …

Head injuries in sports often go unnoticed and untreated with a risk of increasing the severity of neurological difficulties for affected athletes. While there is much research on athletes in developed countries, the data on athletes from developing countries is lacking. Using a descriptive case study approach, this report focuses on concussions from four main sports (football, athletics, basketball and rugby). Emphasis was placed on those athletes who had been identified with a sport-related concussion (SRC). The phases of emergency, intermediate, rehabilitative, and return to sports participation were considered in this study. Three SRC cases from both male and female …
Academic Self-Efficacy And Undergraduate Research Opportunities Predict Intentions To Pursue Graduate School, Elizabeth A. Koellner, Heather M. Lange, Drake A. Anderson, Steven J. Mellifont, Bettina J. Casad
Academic Self-Efficacy And Undergraduate Research Opportunities Predict Intentions To Pursue Graduate School, Elizabeth A. Koellner, Heather M. Lange, Drake A. Anderson, Steven J. Mellifont, Bettina J. Casad
Undergraduate Research Symposium
Students who have undergraduate research opportunities tend to have higher identification as a scientist, also known as science identity. Furthermore, students with higher science identity are better prepared for advanced science education, compared to students with lower science identity. The current studies seek to examine predictors of undergraduate students’ intentions to pursue graduate school. In the first study, underrepresented students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields who attended the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) filled out a survey that assessed their research confidence and intentions to pursue graduate school. Students who attended ABRCMS more often …

Missing The 'B' In Lgbtq+, Jenna C. Haddock
Undergraduate Research Symposium
With the emergence of the awareness of the LGBTQ+ community, there has been more research done with individuals who identify as such. However, an analysis of articles claiming to utilize and/or involve LGBTQ+ individuals has shown that a vast majority of this research lacks the objective inclusion of individuals deriving from populations specific to each orientation, especially bisexuality. This review focuses on the exclusion of bisexual individuals within scientific articles claiming to involve LGBTQ+ populations. Specifically, although some statistical results are shown for gay and lesbian populations, experimental data derived from individuals who identify as bisexual are either not specified …
The Relationship Between Phonemic Decoding Ability And Recall Accuracy And Reaction Time, Melissa Growney, Max Schechter, Adam Runyan
The Relationship Between Phonemic Decoding Ability And Recall Accuracy And Reaction Time, Melissa Growney, Max Schechter, Adam Runyan
Undergraduate Research Symposium
The present study examines the relationship between phonemic decoding ability and recall accuracy and reaction time in orthographically consistent and inconsistent tasks. We measured phonemic decoding ability via the Test of Word Reading Efficiency, second edition (TOWRE-II) assessment tool. The phonemic decoding task required participants to read as many non-words that are made up of different phonemes (e.g. ip, ta, ko, luddy, dord) as possible within a forty-five second window. When the reading task was complete, participants were presented with a word sequence of orthographic consistency (e.g. best, rest, test, nest, vest) or inconsistency (e.g. bone, hone, done, tone, zone), …
Right/Left Hemisphere Lateralization: Correlation Between Individual Differences In Subjective Wellbeing, Happiness, Life Satisfaction, Success, Personality And Thinking Styles, Wallat M. Baban
Undergraduate Research Symposium
There has been a popularization in society of the Right hemisphere of the brain being responsible for creativity, and the Left hemisphere being responsible for logical and analytical thinking. However, it is not fully understood whether there is an underlying, neuroscientific basis to these claims or if such claims can be rendered factual. Recent studies have been conducted, revealing that right brained leaders emphasize in innovation and managing whereas left brained leaders focus on continuous improvement and planning (Kumar & Sharma 2016). The right and left hemispheres do possess interconnectedness, however as this study has shown, individuals tend to possess …

"Modifying Cbt For Cognitively Impaired Older Adults With Depression ", Abigail Foster, Mary Wells
Undergraduate Research Symposium
Although clinical depression is not common in older adults, it creates problems in daily living for those individuals who experience it in later life. Symptoms of depression can differ between younger and older adults; treatment approaches may also need to be modified to account for some of the challenges of aging such as cognitive impairments. Previous research has supported the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for treating late-life depression. The use of jargon and abstract concepts, however, are disadvantageous to those with mild cognitive impairment or neurocognitive disorders. To combat these difficulties, there is a need for therapy materials …
The Dimensional Relationship Between Age Of First Traumatic Exposure And Perceptions Of Control: A Pilot Study, Ellen L. Gruebbeling, Miranda Jany, Carissa Philippi
The Dimensional Relationship Between Age Of First Traumatic Exposure And Perceptions Of Control: A Pilot Study, Ellen L. Gruebbeling, Miranda Jany, Carissa Philippi
Undergraduate Research Symposium
An earlier age of onset of trauma (before 16 years old) has been associated with greater psychological impairments, such as increased risk of psychopathology and greater psychological distress in adulthood (Kaplow & Widom, 2007; Mueller et al., 2010; Teicher et al., 2009). Furthermore, trauma exposure has been linked to deficits in control (Fraizer, 2003; Ataria, 2015). However, the association between age of first trauma and perception of control are unclear. The present study aimed to define the relationship between age of first trauma and perception of control, or self-agency. Self-agency is defined as the sense of control of one’s actions …
The Effects Of Previous Childhood Trauma On Dissociative Symptoms In Adult Survivors Of Recent Trauma, Lillith J. Clark, Natalia M. Kecala, Brittany F. Goodman, Rebecca C. Chesher
The Effects Of Previous Childhood Trauma On Dissociative Symptoms In Adult Survivors Of Recent Trauma, Lillith J. Clark, Natalia M. Kecala, Brittany F. Goodman, Rebecca C. Chesher
Undergraduate Research Symposium
This presentation aims to examine the effects of previous childhood abuse (e.g. physical or sexual abuse) on the dissociative symptoms experienced by adult survivors of recent traumas (e.g. physical or sexual assaults). The aims of this study are to examine the self-reports of the participants regarding childhood experiences of trauma, their current dissociative experiences and the severity of those experiences, and physiological markers such as skin conductance and heart rate that may play a significant role in their experiences of dissociation. The hypothesis of this research is that previous childhood abuse will significantly increase the likelihood and severity of the …

Complacency, or sub-optimal monitoring of automation performance, has been cited as a contributing factor in numerous major transportation and medical incidents. Researchers are working to identify individual differences that correlate with complacency as one strategy for preventing complacency-related accidents. Automation-induced complacency potential is an individual difference reflecting a general tendency to be complacent across a wide variety of situations which is similar to, but distinct from trust. Accurately assessing complacency potential may improve our ability to predict and prevent complacency in safety-critical occupations. Much past research has employed an existing measure of complacency potential. However, in the 25 years since …

Epidemiological studies suggest exposures to anesthetic agents and/or sedative drugs (AASDs) in children under three years old, or pregnant women during the third trimester, may adversely afect brain development. Evidence suggests lengthy or repeated AASD exposures are associated with increased risk of neurobehavioral defcits. Animal models have been valuable in determining the type of acute damage in the developing brain induced by AASD exposures, as well as in elucidating long-term functional consequences. Few studies examining very early exposure to AASDs suggest this may be a critical period for inducing long-term functional consequences, but the impact of repeated exposures at these …
[Accepted Article Manuscript Version (Postprint)] Identification And Parasocial Relationships With Characters From Star Wars: The Force Awakens., Alice Hall
Communication and Media Faculty Works
This study investigated identification and parasocial relationships (PSRs) with media characters by examining viewers’ responses to the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens through an online survey of 113 audience members who saw the film in a theater within a month of its release. Participants reported stronger PSR and identification with the more familiar characters from the first trilogy than with the new characters introduced in the film, although the association with identification was limited to older participants. Star Wars fanship was associated with identification and PSR for old and new characters. Familiarity with the earlier films was associated with …
