The Rate and Incidences of Non-Predictive Concussions among Adolescents Participating in High School Sports Using SCAT-5 and TRAZER
- Denise LeiningerKinesiologyGraduate Student
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.

- Brandilynn VillarrealPsychologyFaculty
The purpose of this project is to explore how hardiness relates to the mental health outcomes of college students with disabilities during COVID-19. We hypothesize that Hardiness will negatively correlate with: (H1) perceived stress, (H2) COVID-19 stress, (H3) anxiety, (H4) depressive symptoms, and (H5) substance use. Twenty-nine students from the campus student disabilities center participated in the study (age M = 23.3, SD = 3.1; range 19-33 years). Participants completed an online survey during Spring 2021, including the following scales: Perceived Stress Scale; COVID Stress Scale; Beck Anxiety Inventory; Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale; and Substance Use Scale.
The Relationship Between Indigenous Peoples and Animals
- Cosette YoderZoologyUndergraduate Student
In many Indigenous cultures animals are imbued with great spiritual significance. Their understanding of the natural world seems to be much more sophisticated and comprehensive than many people view it to be. This project will go over the interconnected relationship between animals and humans displaying the spiritual connection or view that the environment is one whole entity, not a separate entity. This interconnectedness is equivalent to the idea of caring for and respecting the natural world and one's surrounding environment. While many cultures are quite diverse, animals seem to frequently appear in creation stories, legends, ceremonies, and art.
The Relationship Between Native People and the Lamprey
- Benjamin FujitaFisheriesUndergraduate Student
- Kaitlyn ZedekerWildlifeUndergraduate Student
In our poster, we want to discuss the importance that the lamprey has to Native Americans, and how they are/were an essential source of sustenance for these people. In addition, we would like to talk about how the populations of lamprey have changed over time, and the reasons for these changes. We believe that the lamprey is a species that often gets a bad reputation, when in reality they are an extremely important species that does not get enough attention.
The Relationship Between Personality Characteristics and Creativity on Judgments of Facial Attractiveness
- Zhelin WuPsychology DepartmentGraduate Student
People may or may not realize that when they meet a physically attractive person, they are more likely to evaluate him or her as a smart and positive person compared to a less attractive person in the absence of other features besides physical attractiveness. This attractive halo effect has influenced multiple areas that include the job market, dating, and academic success. However, it is possible for other factors, such as one’s creativity and personality to affect one’s judged attractiveness level. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of facial attractiveness, creativity, and warm-cold personality characteristics when judging female attractiveness.
