Self-Efficacy and Academic Success
2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationMany college students have the motivation to make good grades and succeed academically. A major factor that contributes to academic success is self-efficacy. Self-efficacy in college students is relevant in goal achievement. Student achievement is correlated with students’ personal satisfaction regarding their college performance. This study examines data collected from students enrolled at Northern Kentucky University. Grade point average is measured as a level of self-efficacy. Additionally, the data is compiled based on students’ personal motivation perspectives. Results are expected to show that Northern Kentucky University students with self-efficacy are academically successful.https://youtu.be/LBQ2AQfEMQ

Mental Health and Self-Esteem Among College Students
2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationHistorically, mental health has been associated with stereotypes that have altered society’s perception on this issue. These stereotypes have placed labels and stigmas on those who have mental health. This study examines data collected from a population of college students analyzing the correlation between mental health and self-esteem. Results are expected to show students, who identify having a mental health-related disorder, demonstrate an increase or decrease in self-esteem based on society’s perception, including stereotypes and attributed labels, of mental health.https://youtu.be/e3VQsrBBJ2
Effects of Childhood Trauma in Adulthood
2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationTrauma has been shown to result in many adverse effects. This study focuses on understanding the relationship between past trauma, academic outcomes, and physical health among NKU students. A self-administered survey was used to assess for this relationship. This IRB approved study is expected to show that there is a correlation between experiences with trauma, GPA, retention, and physical health concerns. The findings from this research will show that all professionals, including NKU faculty and staff, should be trained in trauma informed care.https://youtu.be/2j2vh_lT3G
Anxiety and alcohol consumption among NKU students
2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationResearch suggests that college students use substances when dealing with overwhelming stress or anxiety. The current study seeks to examine to what extent NKU students are using alcohol to cope with anxiety. A brief self-administered survey will be used to assess for alcohol use in response to anxiety. The results from this IRB approved study are expected to show a correlation between anxiety and alcohol consumption. These findings can assist social workers in identifying the need for interventions that could lower anxiety among college students, and therefore, the use of alcohol on college campuses. https://youtu.be/uoukdKP3fs
Identification of the enzyme required for the acp3U modification in plastidic tRNA
2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationDefects in human tRNA modifications are associated with diseases such as cancer, type two diabetes, neurological disorders, and mitochondrial-linked disorders. The acp3U modification on tRNA is found in bacteria, plants, and animals, but not in yeast. Two recent papers reported that DTW-domain proteins are required for the acp3U modification in bacteria (tapT) and in humans (DTWD2). Three DTWD2 homologs were identified in plants. This research seeks to determine the function of these homologs in plants, and if one of them is responsible for acp3U formation on tRNA in chloroplasts by utilizing yeast and primer extension assays.https://youtu.be/mVBiOnuwnD
The Digital System Divide of Digital Literacy Between Older Adult Learners on University Campuses
2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationThere is a digital systemic divide between among older adult “learners (OAL) and learning institutions. Digital literacy is a needed skill. Some universities have omitted OAL needs. Specifically, the absence of computer skills can deter OAL from seeking an education, putting them at a disadvantage among their younger counterparts. We should have outreach provisions on campus, for this group of people. There have been 51 higher learning institutions created around the world that are age-friendly. The Survey will: assess student’s attitudes towards how older adult adjust to digital literacy assimilation on college campuses in relation to academic success.https://youtu.be/TOTBgiaSH5
