Self-esteem and feelings of guilt and shame in undergraduate college students
Get PDFIn the present study, we sought to examine guilt and shame in relation to an individual’s self-esteem. Self-esteem is an evaluative construct that is vital to one’s self-concept and plays an important role in an individual’s positive progress (Metalsky et al., 1993). In both social and personality psychology research, this construct is one of the most frequently measured (Gray-Little et al., 1997). Both guilt and shame are feelings evoked by distressing personal transgressions, oftentimes used interchangeably, as they both relate to one’s self-concept, aiding in self-regulation in service of social expectations (Gray-Little et al., 1997). Low self-esteem has been linked to shame proneness, and negative self evaluations (NSEs) (e.g. feeling bad about oneself) following public transgressions (Tangney & Dearing, 2002) Shame-prone individuals have shown similar characteristics to those who have low self-esteem and often engage in behaviors that seem problematic or maladaptive (Thomas & Warren-Findlow, 2020). Among college students in the United States, negative behaviors such as poor diet and sleep quality, low physical activity, and heavy substance abuse can contribute to risks such as development of chronic disease (Thomas & Warren-Findlow, 2020). The present study focuses specifically on college students experiencing these stressors which we believe have an impact on one’s self-esteem and will produce significant results in finding a relationship between low self-esteem and shame-proneness.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1088/thumbnail.jp
The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Effects on Sexual Behaviors
No full textThe purpose of this study is to explore the effects on sexuality during the COVID-19 pandemic by investigating the correlations between a person’s knowledge and perception of COVID-19 and their sexual behaviors. We hypothesize that desire and frequency of sex will be decreased in people who consider themselves “high-risk” or are fearful of COVID-19, have depression or feel lonely as a result of the pandemic, and will utilize more sexual behaviors that avoid close-contact such as technology-mediated behaviors.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1077/thumbnail.jp

Disruption of Zea mays isochorismate synthase1 decreases PHENYLALANINE AMMONIA LYASE activity and suppresses hypersensitive response-induced metabolism
No full textISOCHORISMATE SYNTHASE (ICS) catalyzes the isomerization of chorismate to isochorismate, an essential precursor in the biosynthesis of the Photosystem I electron carrier phylloquinone and of one of two pathways for the biosynthesis of the defense response hormone salicylic acid (SA). We characterized a Zea mays ics1 mutant for impacts on metabolism, photosynthesis, and immune signaling. Phylloquinone was reduced in the mutant resulting in low electron transfer rates and high electron backflow rates. SA accumulation induced by autoactive alleles of the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) gene Resistance to Puccinia sorgi1 (Rp1) required ics1. Induced accumulation of SA was not required for lesion formation by the autoactive Rp1-D21#4 allele. Metabolomic analyses and SA supplementation of Rp1-D21#4 mutants, ics1-1 mutants and Rp1-D21#4; ics1-1 double mutants demonstrated that most hypersensitive response-induced metabolism required ics1 but this was independent of SA accumulation. Both the PAL and ICS pathways contributed to SA biosynthesis in maize as labeled phenylalanine was incorporated into SA glucoside. Maize ics1-1 mutants had low PHENYLALANINE AMMONIA LYASE activity, accumulated phenylalanine, and decreased abundance of phenylalanine derived metabolites. This demonstrates that the ICS and PAL pathways interact by a yet unknown mechanism complicating the interpretation of SA biosynthesis in plants from genetics alone.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/faculty_staff_works/1054/thumbnail.jp
