Let’s talk sex ed
No full textChattanooga State undergraduate researchers present current research projects: To address teen pregnancy, STD rates, and negative sex practices, many U.S. States utilize sex education in schools; however, the primary method of sex education is often abstinence until marriage (AOUM). The political policies of states have heavily promoted AOUM curriculum in schools, leading to adolescents lacking in information regarding relationships and matters important to health. In many communities, school-based sex education promoting abstinence has replaced more comprehensive forms of sex-education, in addition to providing incomplete information and failing to include sexual minority youth. While abstinence is in theory fully protective, it is often not maintained, leaving adolescents without education on sexual development, STIs, birth control and how to safely navigate relationships. Several studies have shown that on a national basis, AOUM does not reduce and may increase teen pregnancy rates. Comprehensive sex education was found to be correlated with the lowest teen pregnancy and STD rates across the United States. This shows that comprehensive sex education is the most effective in keeping adolescents healthy and safe. In return, teaching an all-inclusive sex education course leads to lower rates of teen pregnancy and takes a proactive stance to abortion
Allegories in morality plays
No full textChattanooga State undergraduate researchers present current research projects: The use of allegories in morality plays help focus the idea towards the moral lesson that the audience is supposed to gain. In order to prove this point, I will use primary sources and secondary sources that I found through research. My primary sources include morality plays that were written around 1400-1500, such as “Everyman” and “Mankind”. My secondary sources include articles that elaborate my point and give background information on morality plays and allegories. Using my research, I will create a poster to present all my findings on this topic

The associations between gender role stress, media use, and metacognition in emerging adults
No full textThis research explores the relationship between electronic media consumption and gender role stress and whether these relationships are dependent upon metacognitive abilities. Student participants (n = 238) between the ages of 18 and 25 from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga were recruited and completed self-report measures of both frequency and types of media usage, gender role stress, and metacognitive abilities. Results demonstrated that though there was no direct relationship between amount of media consumed and gender role stress, an interaction effect occurred between metacognitive abilities and amount of media consumed. Results indicated that individuals with lower metacognitive abilities who consumed more media had higher gender role stress. Findings from this study can inform future research directions, as well as policy and practice
