15 Dec HU Students Present Research Papers

All 21 Huntington University students from Dr. Wayne Priest’s Applied Research Methods course have had their research projects published in the online Undergraduate Research Journal of the Human Sciences. The students, who worked in teams of three, have seven papers in the journal’s seventh volume.

“Having practical experience in research and presentation is essential for students seeking application to graduate school,” said Woods, a history major from Hillsdale, Mich.

The seven papers are:

• “Death and Social Life: How Death of a Loved One Impacts Social Style.”
• “Self-Esteem and Class Standing in Liberal Arts Undergraduate College Students.” 
• “The Relationship of Fear of Negative Evaluation and Perfectionism in College Students.”
• “Divorce, Its Implications on Children: The Onset of Sexual Relationships in Adolescents.” 
• “The Impact of Sleepiness Levels on Academic Achievement for College Students.” 
• “The Relationship Between Stress and Eating in College-Aged Students.”
• “The Relationship between Body Mass Index and Self-esteem in Female College Students.”

The students also presented their research projects at the 21st annual Michigan Undergraduate Psychology Research Conference on April 19 at Albion College in Albion, Mich.
