  • Emotion regulation and hyperactivity during the transition into adolescence

    Creator:
    Lewis, Kendra M.
    Abstract:
    This study posited that maturational growth in emotion regulation should be associated with reduction in hyperactivity during the transition into adolescence. The longitudinal design assessed emotion regulation and hyperactivity in an urban community sample of children in three waves, at ages 10.6, 11.6, and 12.6 years. A parallel growth curve...

  • A Bioecological Model of Grief Recovery : Theory and Test of the Model

    Creator:
    Romo, Daniel L.
    Abstract:
    A primary aim of bereavement research is to alleviate suffering and promote well-being at the junction of life and death for the survivor in an attachment relationship. Bereavement research in the last decade has focused primarily on examining grief recovery within the context of intrapersonal processes. This emphasis has often...

  • A comparison of two different balance programs

    Creator:
    Eisenhard, Jordyn
    Abstract:
    There is limited knowledge regarding differential training as it relates to balance. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance and retention of a differential training balance program and a traditional balance program. Thirty-three Division I soccer athletes volunteered to participate and 29 completed the study. Participants were...

  • Evaluation of a social-emotional and character development program : methods and outcomes

    Creator:
    Lewis, Kendra M.
    Abstract:
    Schools are increasingly expected to prevent and decrease violence, substance use, and other problem behaviors linked to academics and prepare students to be contributing members of society. One approach with proven success in promoting positive outcomes related to a broad range of student behaviors and personal characteristics is social-emotional learning,...

  • Exploring stakeholders' attitudes and beliefs regarding behaviors that prevent the spread of invasive species : a focus group study

    Creator:
    Kubeck, Gwenn
    Abstract:
    This research explores the barriers that prevent stakeholders from changing their hobby behaviors to help prevent the spread of invasive species in Oregon. Invasive species are increasingly causing economic and ecosystem harm in Oregon. This is among the first studies done on the human dimensions of invasive species. Using the...

  • Characterizing and Assessing the Researcher-Stakeholder Engagement Process for Water Sustainability : The Willamette Water 2100 Project

    Creator:
    Ferguson, Laura B.
    Abstract:
    Natural resource management and policy is ideally informed by the best available science. Natural resource researchers ideally participate in broader impacts activities to extend the reach of their best available research. However, there are many cultural, institutional, and practical barriers to participating in broader impact activities and to incorporating science...

  • Disparities in Physical Activity Experienced by Children with Disabilities: Secondary Analysis of the National Survey of Children’s Health 2016-2017

    Creator:
    Ross, Samantha Mae
    Abstract:
    Children with disabilities report some of the lowest physical activity (PA) levels among U.S. children. Estimating the magnitude of PA disparities has been previously challenged by underreporting and variability in subsampling of children with disabilities. The present research leverages the redesigned National Survey of Children’s Health to estimate population-level disparities...

  • Spinal Motor Control Adaptations to Explosive Strength Training

    Creator:
    Stone, Clara A.
    Abstract:
    The nervous system has an integral role in rapid torque production of the lower extremity, which is often necessary for proper motor response to a dynamic environment. The nervous system is complex with numerous pathways, including spinal motor control networks, which influence the ability to move. However, few studies have...

  • Effect of Focus of Attention on Rate of Torque Development in the Knee Extensors

    Creator:
    Kiff, Adam B.
    Abstract:
    Background: The ability to produce rapid muscle force and joint torque is important for performance in sports, injury prevention and rehabilitation, and balance recovery. One way to measure rapid torque production is rate of torque development (RTD), which is the slope of the torque-time curve. Interventions aimed at increasing RTD...

  • The relationship between rate of torque development of the triple extensors at different time intervals

    Creator:
    Kitagawa, Taichi
    Abstract:
    The ability to quickly generate torque of the triple extensors is critical during rapid movements, especially when there is not enough time to reach peak torque. Rate of torque development (RTD), which is the rate of rise of the torque-time curve, is a commonly used measure of rapid torque generation....
