The Associations Between Traumatic Brain Injury And Sleep Disorders, Mckenzie Hollander
INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference
The purpose of this study is to look at the connections between traumatic brain injury and sleep disorders. Prior research has shown that there are associations between TBI and sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless legs, circadian rhythm, sleepwalking, nightmares and daily sleep complaints on daily activities. Findings showed that prior traumatic brain injuries and severity of these brain injuries increase risk for sleep disorders.

This semester, I had the opportunity to conduct my cooperative education coursework at Prairie Lakes Church working as a childcare provider.

Moral Values And Ideological Conclusions Influence Perceived Credibility For Headlines, Morning Baker, Nick Clark, Helen Harton
INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference
People prioritize moral values differently based on political ideology (Graham et al., 2009) and form ideological conclusions based on these values (Haidt, 2001). For example, conservatives have more positive perceptions of police compared to liberals (Stack & Cao, 1998), in part because of the centrality of law and order as a conservative value. People also justify maintaining their political affiliation by defining opposing conclusions as less credible (Bail et al., 2018; Haidt, 2001). In this study, we investigate how ideological values vs. conclusions affect perceived credibility of and interest in headlines. We hypothesize that conservatives and liberals will rate headlines …

“It All Just Ends”: Death Attitudes Across Age, Gender And Religion [Poster], Bekah Bass
INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference
Death is a social and biological reality that affects everyone, however not uniformly. Utilizing original data and the Death Attitudes Profile – Revised by Wong, Reker, and Gesser (1994), this study investigates differences in death attitudes across different demographics including age, gender, and religion. Results show correlations between positive, neutral, and negative death attitudes and the age of respondents. Additionally, neutral and approach acceptance were found to be associated with gender and religion, respectively. These significant results imply that perspectives on death differ across these identities. Further research on death attitudes among diverse age, racial, ethnic, gender, and religious groups …
Quality And Quantity Of Social Support In College Students With Adhd Symptomatology, Chloe Reeble
Quality And Quantity Of Social Support In College Students With Adhd Symptomatology, Chloe Reeble
INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference
Social support has been found to be a protective factor in some mental illnesses. College students with ADHD often have a hard time maintaining peer relationships. This study examines the relation between ADHD and social support in college students. I found that those who experienced increased social impairment and elevated ADHD symptoms experience reduced social support quality. These results suggest that college students with elevated ADHD symptomatology may experience a harder time cultivating and maintaining friendships. Clinical implications include better appraisal of social support in clients with ADHD, and treatment approaches that address social impairment.
