Parental Attachment And Emotional Dysregulation, Saralynn E. Ness
Parental Attachment And Emotional Dysregulation, Saralynn E. Ness
Ramaley Celebration
There has been extensive research to show a relationship between parent attachment and emotional dysregulation (Yaghoubipoor, Seyed &Khoshab, 2021; Mota, Goncalves, Carvalho & Costa,2021; Kullik &Petermann,2013). Parental and peer attachment is a construct that describes the emotional bond between self and others (Armsden & Greenberg, 2009). Generally, insecurely attached individuals have greater difficulty with emotional functioning (Casselman & McKenzie, 2014). Gratz and Roemer (2004) conceptualized emotional dysregulation (ED) in their Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) as having six dimensions: nonacceptance, lack of goals, impulsivity, low awareness, lack of strategies, and lack of clarity. Yaghoubipoor et al. (2021) found that …

Introduction: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been over two million confirmed cases. Of those cases, the majority (57.4%) occurred among young adults aged 18–24 years old (CDC, 2021).Although existing research demonstrates that following recommended health behaviors (e.g., vaccinations, hand washing, social distancing) reduces the risk of contracting COVID-19,less research has explored the emotional experiences of young adults returning to campusduringtheCOVID19 pandemic. The experiences of young adults during this time frame are important to study as they are going through natural shifts in their lives. Changes due to COVID in their routines, education, employment have had significant …

Sex Trafficking Awareness And Prevention: A Survey Of Lodging Facilities In Winona, Mn, Brianna M. Albertson
Ramaley Celebration
Sex trafficking, which falls under the umbrella of human trafficking, is an illegal activity in which victims are sexually exploited. There is a lack of awareness on this issue stemming from many misconceptions and little support for victims and survivors. One common misconception is that sex trafficking only occurs in urban and metropolitan areas, however, this is inaccurate as it can take place anywhere regardless of size. Sex traffickers use many different settings for this type of exploitation, with hotels and motels being among the most common. Lodging facilities like hotels and motels are common sites as they allow for …
Effects Of Bupropion On Sign-Tracking, Megan J. Arth, Cassidy Bos, Kiya Azure, Amanda Barbaro
Effects Of Bupropion On Sign-Tracking, Megan J. Arth, Cassidy Bos, Kiya Azure, Amanda Barbaro
Ramaley Celebration
Sign-tracking is defined as the tendency of an organism to engage with a conditioned stimulus that has been paired with a rewarding unconditioned stimulus. Sign-tracking behavior may be comparable to the behavior drug addicts demonstrate when going through a period of relapse after being exposed to a stimulus they associate with drug use. A medication that reduces sign-tracking could be used to aid in drug addiction treatment. In this study, we investigate the effect of bupropion on sign tracking behavior, hoping to explore if this drug can aid in drug addiction treatment. Subjects were 48 male Sprague Dawley rats. In …

Effects Of Escitalopram On Sign-Tracking, Kiya M. Azure, Megan Arth, Amanda Barbaro, Cassidy Bos
Ramaley Celebration
Sign tracking is a phenomenon in organisms in which they are likely to approach a cue for appetitive stimuli. This behavior is important in drug addiction and likelihood of relapse. The aim of the current 32 study is to examine the sign tracking and goal tracking behaviors of rats when different doses of Escitalopram are administered to them. We hypothesize that sign tracking behaviors will decrease when Escitalopram is administered. Subjects are 31 male Sprague Dawley rats. Sign and goal tracking behaviors are measured using operant chambers. Upon analyzing the data with a repeated measures ANOVA, we found that among …
Effects Of Memantine On Sign-Tracking, Amanda M. Barbaro, Megan Arth, Kiya Azure, Cassidy Bos
Effects Of Memantine On Sign-Tracking, Amanda M. Barbaro, Megan Arth, Kiya Azure, Cassidy Bos
Ramaley Celebration
Sign tracking is an organism approaching a signal for an appetitive stimulus. An example of this in humans is an addict interacting with drug paraphernalia when coming across it without consciously understanding why or knowingly intending to get high. This contributes to relapse and finding a pharmaceutical that reduces sign tracking could help addicts in recovery. We replicated this kind of signtracking in rats and administered three different doses of Memantine to test how this affects their signtracking. We first got the rats to associate a lever popping out with a treat pellet being given. We tracked how often the …
Gender Norms And Anxiety, Kirstin D. Cole
Gender Norms And Anxiety, Kirstin D. Cole
Ramaley Celebration
The objective of this study was to examine how attitudes about gender roles affect anxiety and how those attitudes might differ for men and women. Previous research demonstrates that women are more 34 likely to experience and report anxiety than are men. Additionally, a relationship between conformity to masculine norms and mental health issues such as anxiety exists, but less work has explored how the relationship between masculine social roles and anxiety might differ depending on gender. Therefore, the effect of masculine social norms on anxiety and whether it depends on gender. Participants (N = 303; Mage= 21.44, SD= 5.85) …

Ramaley Celebration
Faculty Mentor: Amanda Brouwer Introduction: Houseplants have been recently trending, specifically in the young adult population. This increase in plant buying began close to when the lockdown from COVID-19 began. Some suggest plants became a way to bring the outdoors inside while others explain plants have healing properties in regard to physical and mental health. There are minimal studies involving the benefits to mental health from plants. Therefore, the aim of this study was to focus on the mental healing properties houseplants may have among young adults. Specifically, it was hypothesized that plants will reduce stress and negative emotions as …

College is a period of time in which young people are often on a journey of self-discovery. Discovering oneself at this age may lead to new social relationships, experimenting with substance use, and experiencing mental health difficulties. The primary goal of this study was to assess the connection between undergraduate college student's levels of substance use and their mental health concerns. The hypothesis of this study was that college students who had higher levels of mental health concerns would also have higher levels of substance use. This was proven to be nonsignificant but there was a significant finding between increased …
