There are many barriers to reporting symptoms after a head injury, especially among adolescents. This research study aims to help identify and implement a more detailed approach that will raise awareness of the clinical vigilance and maintenance of Sports-Related Concussions (SRC) that assist in return play decision-making for athletes. The primary purpose of this presentation is to identify non-predictive incidences of sub-concussions among participating subjects using neurocognitive assessments SCAT-5 and TRAZER. Neurocognitive assessments like SCAT-5 and TRAZER can help with the early recognition of sub-concussive impacts and is most beneficial in tracking concussion recovery.

This study examines a mediating relationship between positive contact, perceived threat, and same-sex marriage. We hypothesized that perceived threat, both symbolic and realistic, mediates the relationship between positive contact and attitudes toward same-sex marriage. Findings indicate that positive contact relates to more positive attitudes toward same-sex marriage and in turn, less realistic and symbolic threat. For instance, if an individual had more positive contact with a gay acquaintance then they were less likely to believe that the legalization of same-sex marriage would threaten such things as their religious freedom (symbolic) or financial well-being (realistic).

Since 2020, opposition to Critical Race Theory (CRT) in schools has been a highly controversial topic. The heated topic and buzzwords on social media and conservative news media look dramatically different than the CRT of academic disciplines. This begs the question, what do opponents of CRT believe it to be, and why are they opposed to it? This research utilizes open-ended qualitative interviews to uncover what opponents of CRT believe it to be and why people are opposed to it.
