The relationship between burnout, motivation, and exercise habits in retired college athletes
No full textThe effect of sport burnout on retired college athletes has not been widely researched. However, there are several studies that show sport burnout is present in athletes and can be influenced by different factors, including motivation. Also, studies have shown that physical activity plays an important role in any college aged person and can decrease in former college athletes in retirement. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to review athlete burnout, motivation, specialization, and exercise habits in retired college athletes. Participants, recently retired within two years and played at least one full season filled out the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ), International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Short Form (IPAQ-SF), Sport Motivation Scale (SMS), and demographic questionnaires voluntarily. Athletes were recruited via email blast to the UCO student body. Pearson’s Product Momentum Correlation was conducted to see if there was any relationship between the variables. A significant relationship did not exist between any of the variables (p > .05); therefore, a multiple regression was not used to further analyze. The researcher hypothesized that motivation would show a strong relationship with exercise habits, burnout would show a strong relationship with decreased exercise habits, and sports specialization would show a strong relationship with decreased exercise habits and increased burnout in retired college athletes. The researcher concluded there was no relationship between burnout, motivation, specialization, and exercise habits in this population. Further research is suggested to investigate other relationships like coach’s influence on burnout and observing burnout at different points of athlete’s careers
Multi-species occupancy, detection, and habitat selection of mesocarnivores in eastern Oklahoma with a focus on eastern spotted skunks
Get PDFThe eastern spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius) was once a commonly occurring species and was regularly harvested for fur. In the mid-20th century, this species experienced a drastic and sudden decline which prompted conservation agencies to designate it as a species of conservation concern throughout its range. Range-wide studies have been occurring with the goal of gathering accurate distribution data on the species in order to understand more about the decline and determine reliable conservation strategies. In an effort to contribute data regarding their distribution and habitat presence in Oklahoma, I used camera traps to survey the Ouachita National Forest and Cookson Wildlife Management Area in eastern Oklahoma. Although my observations of the species were limited, I was successful at recording the presence of eastern spotted skunks in Oklahoma along with many other fur-bearing mesocarnivore species including coyotes (Canis latrans), gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), bobcats (Lynx rufus), northern raccoons (Procyon lotor), Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana), and striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis). I discovered that most of the additional species were underrepresented in population studies and conservation reports. Being that they are subject to legal harvest, it is important to emphasize the significance of achieving a more accurate understanding of population demographics for legally harvested furbearers in Oklahoma. It is also important to provide a basis for conducting regular species detection efforts for the state using camera traps and occupancy modeling. In addition, I conducted a human dimensions survey to understand public perception and attitudes toward mesocarnivores from residents living in eastern Oklahoma, and I used that opportunity to gather additional eastern spotted skunk location data that may be important for future distribution studies
AGN and their environment: a multi-wavelength photometric and spectroscopic study of AGN and galaxy clusters, and the co-evolution of AGN and the large scale structures
Get PDFActive galactic nuclei (AGN) are the central engines hosted by most of the galaxies in the universe and are believed to be actively accreting supermassive black holes. The growth of the central black hole is very closely tied with the host galaxy evolution, as demonstrated by relations like the M-sigma relation. AGNs strongly influence galactic evolution by affecting star formation, as well as impacting their large-scale environment consisting of clusters, groups, and voids, via various feedback mechanisms. In addition, AGNs allow us to understand black hole physics and the evolution of supermassive black holes through the accretion processes.
For my PhD research, I have attempted to understand the evolution of AGN and the role that the interplay between AGNs and the large-scale environment plays in their evolution, and have worked on the detection of galaxy clusters.
For the first part of my dissertation, I have presented our investigation of the abundance of AGNs in galaxy clusters and the surrounding low-density fields using multi-wavelength surveys. We have found a decreasing fraction of AGN with increasingly denser environments - (2.37+-0.39)% in clusters and (5.12+-0.16)% in fields. This shows an environmental dependence of AGN activity.
For the second part, I have presented our study of the abundance of AGNs in cosmic voids. We have found higher average fractions in the inner voids (4.9+-0.7)% than in the outer void regions (3.1+-0.1)% at z>0.42. At low redshifts (z<0.42), we have found very weak AGN activity dependence on the environment.
The third part of the dissertation has detailed a multi-wavelength study of a changing look blazar, B2 1420+32. We have discovered a multi-transitional changing look blazar with unprecedented photometric and spectroscopic variabilities and complex spectral features. Multi-epoch lightcurves spectra have shown very large gamma-ray and optical variability, by factors of up to 40 and 15, respectively, on week to month timescales.
Over a 15-year period, the gamma-ray and optical fluxes have been observed to increase by factors of 1500 and 100, respectively. Most emission line flux variations, except the Fe continuum, have been seen to be within a factor of 2-3, implying that the transitions between FSRQ and BL Lac classifications are mainly caused by the continuum variability.
Finally, in the last part of the dissertation, I have presented the initial analysis for the detection of X-ray selected galaxy clusters using the SWIFT Observatory data as part of the Swift AGN and Cluster Survey (SACS) sequence
Can authority influence misinformation?: the relationship between misinformation and eyewitness accuracy
No full textMistaken identification by eyewitnesses was involved in 72% of the cases where people were later exonerated by DNA testing (Smalarz & Wells, 2015). There has been a large movement in support of eyewitness being unreliable. Misinformation and the pitfalls of memory have been widely studied; however, an interesting avenue of thought is how might the presence of authority interact with these phenomena. While previous research studied how authority impacted memory, few studies have examined the role that individual differences in response to authority impacted memory. This study examined how authority and response to authority impacted eyewitness memory. One hundred twelve participants were randomly assigned to four conditions (high authority-leading questions, low authority-leading questions, high authority-nonleading questions, and low authority-nonleading questions). Participants watched a short video in which a bank robbery was committed. Participants were interviewed and asked leading or nonleading questions by a person with high or low authority. After, participants were asked to make a statement about any details they could remember. For interview accuracy, there was a main effect of question type. Participants demonstrated better recall for nonleading than leading questions. The finding replicates previous research that shows leading questions can create more misinformation that neutral questions. However, no other effects were found for the interview accuracy or the witness statement accuracy. Thus, it appears that authority and response to authority did not impact eyewitness memory. This could be due to a weak authority manipulation and that participants may need additional cues, such as uniform, to legitimize a persona as an authority figure. Thus, it could be that when examining characteristics of the interview (e.g., response to authority), there may be other systems impacting recall other than authority. Limitations and future directions are discussed

User Studies in Public Library Website Redesigns
Get PDFThis paper highlights the importance of conducting user studies before redesigning a public library website to ensure the needs and wants of the whole community are met. It explores the eight most common user experience research methods and how they are beneficial in determining the design of a virtual public library environment. Because of their core values of access and service to all, public libraries should prioritize user experience research and include children in their user studies when redesigning their websites.N
