The effect of physical activity and the COVID-19 pandemic on children's self-regulation

Creator:: Hammer, Delaney
Abstract:: Self-regulation skills in children are an important indicator of positive life outcomes such as health and wealth. Techniques to improve self-regulation are important, as well as understanding what factors influence child development of self-regulation. This study investigates the connection between total minutes of physical activity per day, as well as...

Mining Public Microbiome Datasets to Identify Specific Microbial Taxa Associated with Anxiety-Related Disorders

Creator:: Martin, Austin N.
Abstract:: Over the last ten years, clinical, pre-clinical and animal studies have shown associations between the microbiota and neurological functions. Recent work by the scientific community on the gut-microbiome-brain axis have revealed that gut dysbiosis and specific microbial taxa are associated with a myriad of neurological conditions, such as autism spectrum...

Influence of Robot Motivation on Modified Ride-On Car Usage

Creator:: Zott, Gabriela R.
Abstract:: Using robot motivation to see effects on modified ride-on car interaction has not yet been explored. Previous research has looked at the use of robots to encourage/motivate children (Bharatharaj et al., 2017; Conti et al., 2017; Johnson, 2003) and the benefits of using modified ride-on cars have also been previously...

Evaluating the Secure Base Effect in Shelter Dog-Shelter Volunteer, Foster Dog-Foster Volunteer, and Pet Dog-Owner Pairs

Creator:: Schoderbek, Mary H.
Abstract:: The aim of this study was to evaluate the different attachment profiles that characterize shelter dog-shelter volunteer and foster dog-foster volunteer relationships and to assess the proportion of insecure and secure attachment styles within foster, shelter, and pet dog populations. Foster dog-foster volunteer, shelter dog-shelter volunteer, and pet dog-owner pairs...

The RECESS Project: The Impact of a Community-Based Recess Intervention on Recess Quality and Student Belonging

Creator:: Bishman, Paige N.
Abstract:: Physical activity and social emotional health among children have become increasingly important for children’s overall development. Recess is a time during the school day for students to have access to physical activity opportunities as well as socialize and interact with their peers. A quality recess, that is age and developmentally...

Directional Decisions in an Egress task: Systematic manipulation of the relative speed, onset, and onset asynchrony of neighboring pedestrians

Creator:: Durand, Lucy A.
Abstract:: Examining directional decisions has proven easier in experiments with fish than in humans. With virtual reality, it is now easier to investigate directional decision-making behavior in humans. This remote virtual study examined directional decisions in 109 participants after watching virtual pedestrians, walking at different speeds and entering at different times,...

The Dog-Child Bond: Examining Synchronous Activity-based Animal-Assisted Interventions for Youth with Developmental Disabilities and their Family Dog

Creator:: Wanser, Shelby H.
Abstract:: Approximately one in six children in the United States has a developmental disability (CDC, 2018). Among a wide variety of interventions that have been developed to support the health, wellbeing, and development of youth with disabilities, Animal-Assisted Interventions (AAI) have become increasingly prevalent. Some AAI involve youth participating with their...

Elements of the Preschool Outdoor Play Environment : Associations with Children’s Physical Activity

Creator:: Hoke, Kelly L.
Abstract:: Preschool outdoor play environments (OPEs) are unique spaces that, when carefully designed, can encourage child-initiated play resulting in jumping, chasing, and exploration of materials and natural spaces (Moore, 1996). Specifically, elements of the OPE can facilitate movement and increase physical activity (Baek et al., 2015) through engaged, child-initiated play. Children...

Comparison of Relationship between Accelerometer Outputs and Energy Expenditures in People with and without Down syndrome during Walking Activity

Creator:: Leung, Chun (Willie)
Abstract:: In recent years, there has been an increased interest in accurately measuring physical activity levels with accelerometers. Two distinct approaches have been used to estimate physical activity levels with accelerometers are vertical axis activity counts and vector magnitude (VM). Although previous studies evaluated these two distinct approaches for individuals without...

Maternal Play Behaviors and Stress Response within a State-Based Parenting Education Program

Creator:: Ebadirad, Staci W.
Abstract:: The quality of parenting, in particular mother-child interactions, is important for children’s development. Sensitive and responsive interactions between the mother and child are linked to children’s language, emotion and behavioral regulation, brain development, and activity in the stress response system (NSCDC, 2007; Mintz et al., 2011, Gunnar & Quevedo, 2007)....
