THE BABY STRESS PARADIGM:A PRELIMINARYANALYSISOF STRESS RESPONSESTO BABY DOLL CRYING
Full text linkStress-inducing paradigms in research allow for a comprehensive understanding of the physiological and psychological effects of stress. Research consistently shows that infant crying triggers negative emotional responses, including heightened stress and negative affect in parents and women. Thus, we seek to develop a stress-inducing paradigm that uses baby crying sounds (with or without baby doll cues) to elicit both stress and cortisol responses in a broader population. To support this framework, we conduct a preliminary analysis comparing the self-report perceived stress responses before and after exposer to a baby doll crying
LA VIDA EN EL CENTRO DEL PUEBLO Empowering the latino community
Full text linkThis year I was able to work with Centro del Pueblo, a non-profit organization which helps its community members through providing a space for the community to garden. Centro del Pueblo also supports its latino community by advocating and providing any type of support. During my time at Centro del Pueblo, I was able to meet many new people. I was excited to be able to work alongside other latinos. This especially meant a lot to me due to the change of environment I experienced coming from Los Angeles. As a part of the organization helping out in the garden became essential to being fully involved with the people
DOES HAVING SIBLINGS AFFECT THE RECOGNITION OF CHILDREN’S EMOTIONAL DISPLAYS?
Full text linkThis research study looks into whether participants with siblings are able to understand the emotional display in images of children more so than participants without siblings. We hypothesized that participants with younger siblings will have a greater likelihood to notice emotional responses in children due to alloparental caregiving behavior. Sixty images of children expressing six emotional displays were shown to participants. Overall, there was no difference in emotional recognition accuracy between participant groups. Specific emotional displays were recognized more than others for all groups, with the most recognized emotional display being happiness
Measuring Success of Adaptive Management of European Soaring Birds
Full text linkWhile there has been an expansion of investment into renewable energy sources, less research has emerged concerning how to balance the economic benefit and conservation costs of new developments. One of the most economically productive wind developments in Europe rests to the north of the Strait of Gibraltar, in Tarifa, Spain. This is also one of the largest annual migration points for migratory birds traveling between Africa and Europe. Using historical data of bird collisions and employee reports of turbine stops, this study investigates the success of human observers protocol in preventing avian fatalities across a decade of migration seasons
Does Anthropogenic Noise Effect Passerine Diversity and Abundance on Campus?
Full text linkPoint count survey of passerine birds on Cal Poly Humboldt campus. Sites revisited multiple times to create a site occupancy model and examine species diversity, abundance, in relation to anthropogenic noise pollution on a landscape. As well, examine detection efficacy of other covariate factors
Cannabis Use and Mental Health: A Double-Edged Leaf
Full text linkOur project entails researching the effects of cannabis on various mental illnesses. We are investigating whether cannabis use impacts mental health disorders—exacerbating them, providing relief, or having no effect—aiming to better understand its role and clinical implications. Using OneSearch through Cal Poly Humboldt Library, we reviewed 12 papers utilizing keywords like “mental illness,” “cannabis,” “anxiety,” and “depression.” Findings show cannabis may worsen symptoms depending on usage patterns and individual conditions, suggesting the need for caution and increased research in clinical use and mental health policy
Effects of Anthropogenic Disturbance on Waterfowl at the Arcata Marsh
Full text linkA study was undertaken at the Arcata Marsh to determine how various anthropogenic disturbances affected waterfowl within ponds that have publicly accessible trails surrounding them. The disturbance types observed included walkers, walkers with dogs, bikers, and runners. A bird would be considered disturbed if it stopped its previous behavior to move away from a disturbance or become vigilant and observe the disturbance. The distance between the disturbance and the bird was then recorded to determine if a certain type of disturbance caused a disruption of behavior at further or closer distances. The type of waterfowl was recorded to determine if there was any difference in species or niche
