Ksu Student Anxiety Around Mass Shootings, Patrick Kielly, Angel Jaimes, Chris Gold, Madison Wilcox, Zach Peagler, Camari Stanley, Bailey St. Germain, Philip Williams-Jones, Nick Cotter
Symposium of Student Scholars
This research will examine the relationships among generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and fear of mass shootings, particularly for members of minority and low socioeconomic status (SES) groups. Previous research has examined the various types of mass public shootings and which ones receive more media attention. Previous research has also examined potential causes of mass shootings, ways to prevent them, and areas where mass shootings are common. There is little research on different types of anxiety (generalized and social) and how those correlate to fear of mass shootings, especially for minority groups in college. To examine this relationship, we will administer …
Optimal Denoising For Naturalistic Fmri Data, Brandon J. Yip
Optimal Denoising For Naturalistic Fmri Data, Brandon J. Yip
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
In order to surgically treat epilepsy, it is necessary to localize the epileptic lesion. Naturalistic functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can potentially be an accurate, non-invasive, and efficient tool for identifying diseased neural networks that cause epilepsy. We investigated inter-subject correlation (ISC) as a measure of neural synchronization between healthy controls (n = 24) and patients with epilepsy (n = 18) while subjects watched a stimulating movie clip. To investigate optimal denoising strategies, we analyzed ISC values with five sets of motion regressors, functions that remove unwanted motion-induced interference in fMRI signal. All ISC values were denoised using ICA-AROMA, an …

Social Cognition Across Eating Disorders: A Systematic Review, Jina C. Kim
Social Cognition Across Eating Disorders: A Systematic Review, Jina C. Kim
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
Social cognition refers to the cognitive processes involved in social interactions. Deficits in social cognition may play a role in the onset and maintenance of eating disorders (ED). The goal of this review was to examine the current literature on social cognition across EDs, specifically, anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge eating disorder (BED).
The search revealed 79 studies which were organized according to six domains of social cognition: alexithymia, theory of mind, empathy, social processing, emotion recognition, and emotion processing. Most studies examined AN, finding evidence for deficits in some domains of social cognition. Literature on BN …
Call 911: Suicidal Individuals’ Help-Seeking Means As Associated With Their Outcomes, Katherine Oconnell, Molly Hassler, Keyne Law
Call 911: Suicidal Individuals’ Help-Seeking Means As Associated With Their Outcomes, Katherine Oconnell, Molly Hassler, Keyne Law
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
Public suicide prevention efforts have done little to dismantle suicide as the tenth leading cause of death in the United States in 2018. The 911 emergency call system is an essential part of these public health efforts; 20% of crisis calls to police originate from individuals battling a mental health crisis or illness. This study examined over 1,071 Washington State Police 911 calls to determine if help-seeking means could help predict the fate of the suicidal individual. The referral means by family and friends, self-referral, or bystanders more likely predicted monitoring by public authorities, safety intervention, or adverse outcome, respectively.
The Effects Stress Has On Coping Strategies In Populations Uniquely Impacted By Both Developmental Disabilities And Covid-19, Chloe Quinnett, Kaitlyn Drafton, Feller Miles, Taylor Demotta, Beverly J. Wilson
The Effects Stress Has On Coping Strategies In Populations Uniquely Impacted By Both Developmental Disabilities And Covid-19, Chloe Quinnett, Kaitlyn Drafton, Feller Miles, Taylor Demotta, Beverly J. Wilson
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
Populations with developmental disabilities (DD) are at heightened risk of becoming infected with COVID-19, which may lead to high levels of stress challenging their ability to cope effectively. This study was part of a larger web-based survey focused on those uniquely impacted by DD and their coping mechanisms. Participants were 106 individuals and families uniquely impacted by DD. Results indicated perceived stress predicted maladaptive coping mechanisms, however it did not predict adaptive coping mechanisms. These findings highlight the need for more support for these populations, with an emphasis on utilizing adaptive coping strategies when under greater levels of perceived stress.
Group Differences In Active Coping Abilities Among Individuals And Families Impacted By Developmental Disabilities, Kaitlyn Drafton, Chloe Quinnett, Miles Feller, Taylor Demotta, Beverly Wilson
Group Differences In Active Coping Abilities Among Individuals And Families Impacted By Developmental Disabilities, Kaitlyn Drafton, Chloe Quinnett, Miles Feller, Taylor Demotta, Beverly Wilson
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
Individuals with developmental disabilities (DD) are disproportionately impacted by the negative outcomes associated with COVID-19, potentially impacting their coping abilities (Abedi et al., 2020). This study examined the coping strategies utilized by 106 individuals and caregivers impacted by DD. Results indicated that parents of children with DD who also have a DD themselves engage in greater levels of active coping compared to parents of children with DD and adults with DD. These findings suggest parents with DD may develop strengths in problem-focused coping by learning to manage challenges associated with their experience of having a DD.
#Maskmadness: The Contributions Of Perceived Stigma, Context, And Mask-Wearing On Mental Health, Clara O'Brien, Ashley Righetti, Jaylee York, Lynette Bikos
#Maskmadness: The Contributions Of Perceived Stigma, Context, And Mask-Wearing On Mental Health, Clara O'Brien, Ashley Righetti, Jaylee York, Lynette Bikos
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
Although ample evidence has supported its preventative role in reducing the spread of COVID-19, mask-wearing during the pandemic has been politicized such that noncompliance with mask-wearing recommendations has increased. Our poster will present data collected during the early weeks of the pandemic. In this poster we report the results of a moderated mediation that analyzes the mediating role of mask-wearing in the relationship between perceived stigma about mask-wearing and mental health. We further expect that the proportion of other people who are wearing masks will moderate the relationship between perceived stigma and mask-wearing.
Chronic Mild Stress And Deficits In The Rodent Brain: A Preliminary Examination Of Neuroinflammation-Induced Cognitive And Behavioral Changes In Rats, Hoda Abou Eich, Lizzy Daugherty, Rocky Marks, Keyne Law, Phillip Baker
Chronic Mild Stress And Deficits In The Rodent Brain: A Preliminary Examination Of Neuroinflammation-Induced Cognitive And Behavioral Changes In Rats, Hoda Abou Eich, Lizzy Daugherty, Rocky Marks, Keyne Law, Phillip Baker
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
This pilot study investigated the effects of chronic mild stress on a variety of cognitive and behavioral tasks in Sprague-Dawley rats. Our study consisted of two cohorts, one housed individually and one housed in dyad pairs, stressed over six weeks. We then examined the rat’s weight, sucrose preference, forced swim behaviors, and performance on maze-based cognitive tasks. Tests were conducted to examine whether chronic stress was sufficient to induce inflammation in the brain that would result in significant deficits. Results will be compared with analysis of the brains post-mortem to examine potential neurobiological correlates in regions of the rodent brain.
God Perfectionism As A Mediator Of Intrinsic Religiosity And Life Satisfaction, Cory Duffield, Elizabeth Mateer, Madison Foster
God Perfectionism As A Mediator Of Intrinsic Religiosity And Life Satisfaction, Cory Duffield, Elizabeth Mateer, Madison Foster
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
Intrinsic religiosity is a focus on religion for its own sake versus extrinsic religiosity, which focuses on religion for is perceived benefits (Cohen et al., 2017). God perfectionism is an external source of perfectionism that is perceived to come from a higher power, or God (Wang et al., 2018). God perfectionism includes both adaptive (perceived standards from God) and maladaptive (perceived discrepancy from God) components. Maladaptive God perfectionism has been used as a mediator between intrinsic religiosity and negative mood, with higher levels of intrinsic religiosity predicting lower levels of negative mood. Due to this correlation, we hypothesized that God …

Influence Of Past Non-Suicidal Self-Injury On The Relationship Between Pain Tolerance And Acquired Capability For Suicide, Janelle Wee, Jingyan Gu, Keyne Law
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
In our ongoing study, we are examining the mental health of individuals who identify as Asian immigrants, Asian Americans, and Asian international students. Participants are being recruited through social media, listservs, and posters. Participants are asked to complete an online questionnaire which contained measures of pain attitudes (PAQ-R; Yong et al., 2003), acquired capability for suicide (ACSS; Van Orden et al., 2008), and past NSSI (SITBI-SF; Nock et al., 2007). A multiple linear regression will then be used to test if past NSSI will moderate the relationship between subjective pain tolerance and acquired capability.
Investigating Gender Differences, Loneliness, And The Coping Skills Of Individuals With Developmental Disabilities During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Taylor Demotta, Kaitlyn Drafton, Chloe Quinnett, Miles Feller, Jessica Peterson, Beverly Wilson
Investigating Gender Differences, Loneliness, And The Coping Skills Of Individuals With Developmental Disabilities During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Taylor Demotta, Kaitlyn Drafton, Chloe Quinnett, Miles Feller, Jessica Peterson, Beverly Wilson
School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference
Studies have indicated that the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in widespread isolation, which has increased the risk of psychological harm on individuals with developmental disabilities (DD). Previous research posits that adaptive coping is a protective factor against loneliness with females being more likely to engage in active coping than males, but more research is needed on individuals identifying as non-binary. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine adaptive coping, loneliness, and gender differences of individuals impacted by DD. Results indicated that higher adaptive coping scores predicted lower loneliness scores and females displayed higher adaptive coping than non-binary individuals.
Factors Associated With Suicide Screenings For An Autism Spectrum Disorder Population In A Pediatric Medical Setting, Cheng Qian, Dawn Greathouse
Factors Associated With Suicide Screenings For An Autism Spectrum Disorder Population In A Pediatric Medical Setting, Cheng Qian, Dawn Greathouse
Research Days
Background: Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at least 3 times more likely to attempt suicide than those without ASD (Kolves et al., 2021; Richa et al., 2014). Core features of ASD (e.g., deficits in communicating emotions, difficulty with change) are associated with known suicide attempt antecedent events, and rates of co-occurring mental health concerns (e.g., depression) that increase suicide risk are higher than in the general population (Richa et al., 2014). However, mental health clinicians perceive patients with ASD to be at lower risk for suicide, and report lower self-efficacy in screening in this population (Jager-Hyman et al., …

Understanding Illness Encouragement And Pain Acceptance In Pediatric Patients With Abdominal Pain, Scott Wagoner
Understanding Illness Encouragement And Pain Acceptance In Pediatric Patients With Abdominal Pain, Scott Wagoner
Research Days
Background: Parents can respond to their child’s abdominal pain in a variety of ways, and parental illness encouragement (e.g., spoiling, letting child stay home from school) is known to relate to longer periods of illness. Modeling and reinforcement of the “sick role” has been used to explain these processes. Many pediatric patients with abdominal pain will continue to experience symptoms in adulthood, so having a full understanding of what pain management techniques patients adopt is crucial. This study explored the impact of parental illness encouragement on how patients engage in valued activities (i.e., activity engagement) and prioritize controlling their pain …
Impact Of Covid-19 On Families With A Child In Cancer Treatment, Mirae J. Fornander
Impact Of Covid-19 On Families With A Child In Cancer Treatment, Mirae J. Fornander
Research Days
Background: A new diagnosis of pediatric cancer diagnosis is a sudden and tremendous stressor to families (Long & Marsland, 2011). The COVID-19 pandemic presented an acute, universal stressor that impacted daily life around the world (Brooks et al., 2020). The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children with cancer and their families is not yet known.
Objectives/Goal: The current study is a pilot investigation of COVID-19 exposure and impact among a sample of families with a child being treated for cancer.
Methods/Design: Primary caregivers (N=22) of a child (M age=7.4, SD=4.6) who was diagnosed with cancer within the last 18 …
Influences Of Cultural Similarities And Differences On Coworker Relationships And Perceived Levels Of Workplace Psychological Stress, Natalie Hidaka
Influences Of Cultural Similarities And Differences On Coworker Relationships And Perceived Levels Of Workplace Psychological Stress, Natalie Hidaka
Scholarly and Creative Works Conference (2015 - 2021)
One of the most important environments for many adults is the workplace, and we increasingly find co-workers with a wide variety of cultural backgrounds. Different cultural backgrounds must communicate and collaborate for an effective team to meet the common goal for a workplace. However, different cultural values and practices in one place often create misunderstandings and fraught challenges. One of the significant differences in culture is how people interact socially and their primary motivation when interacting with others. When independent and interdependent cultural backgrounds are considered, it is suggested that interdependent cultures tend to focus on relationship-preserving while independent cultures …
Time To Stop Worrying: A Correlational Study On Individualist Versus Collectivist Time Perspectives And Anxiety, Anna Waldron
Time To Stop Worrying: A Correlational Study On Individualist Versus Collectivist Time Perspectives And Anxiety, Anna Waldron
Scholar Week 2016 - present
Presentation Location: Weber Center, Room 101
Abstract
Purpose
Research has indicated a significant relationship between anxiety and time perspective (TP), which is the way one views life in terms of the past, present or future. TP is broken down into five facets based on the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), including past negative (PN), past positive (PP), present fatalistic (PF), present hedonistic (PH), and future (F) time perspectives (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). Time perspective is thought to be impacted by one’s culture, although there is a lack of representation in studies on TP cross-culturally which makes it difficult to generalize. …
Attachment Predictors Of Different Types Of Aggression, Connor O'Brien, Robert Casselman
Attachment Predictors Of Different Types Of Aggression, Connor O'Brien, Robert Casselman
Ramaley Celebration
Research has shown a relationship between parental and peer attachment and aggressive behavior (Gallarin & Alonso-Arbiol, 2012; Malonda, Llorca, Mesurado, Samper, & Mestre, 2019). Gomez and Mestre (2007) found that insecure mother and father attachment was positively associated with aggression. Maldona et al. (2019) found that secure parental attachments were negatively correlated with verbal and physical aggression. This study also showed that peer attachment influenced prosocial behavior, which helped decrease aggressive behavior. Given these findings, parental attachment may be a more robust indicator of aggression than peer attachment. Li et al. (2015) also found that secure parental attachment was negatively …
Suicidal Ideation And Suicide Acceptance Among Age Cohorts, Caelan Vielbig
Suicidal Ideation And Suicide Acceptance Among Age Cohorts, Caelan Vielbig
Ramaley Celebration
Young people experience suicide ideation at high rates, 11.8%, and suicide is the second leading cause of death from age 10 to 34 (CDC, 2017, NIMH, 2019). The rates of suicide have increased by 35% for all age groups from 1999 to 2018. Reasons for young people being at such high risk could be due to rising use of social media and the internet, personality traits, or cultural contexts. However, less is known about how differing attitudes could influence ideation, and whether there is an interaction between age and attitudes. Participants (N= 302, M = 36.79, SD = 16.66) were …

The Psychological Consequences Of Covid- 19: What Is The Experience For College Students?, Molly Hedrich
Ramaley Celebration
The coronavirus disease, also known as COVID- 19, undoubtedly changed the lives of many American citizens after its initial impact in the United States back in March 2020. A specific proportion of the U.S. population that is often overlooked regarding economic and emotional disparities is that of college students. COVID- 19 has brought about even more changes and issues on top of the preexisting ones that college students already must endure. The purpose of this study was to consider the many variables of college students living during a pandemic. Participants from a Midwestern university completed a series of online surveys …
