Residual Spiritual Shifts Regarding The Homeless Resulting From A College Poverty Immersion Experience, Elizabeth Garland, Heidi J. Johnson, Michael W. Firmin, Ruth Lowrie Markham, Kurt J. Stultz

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

We report the results of a qualitative study, having interviewed 20 students who had 1.5 years previously been involved in a collegiate, weekend poverty immersion experience. We coded the transcripts, analyzed the data from a phenomenological framework, provided checks for internal validity, and report the common themes from the participants’ interviews.Three overall results were evident. First, participants reported believing that, generally, the church is ignorant regarding the needs of the poor and impoverished people around them. Second, students generally did not believe that the church was doing enough in order to combat poverty and/or homelessness, mentioning that the church’s outreach …

Preparticipation Cardiovascular Screenings In Athletics, Benjamin A. Dixson Apr 2014

Preparticipation Cardiovascular Screenings In Athletics, Benjamin A. Dixson

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Preparticipation cardiovascular screenings are a key method of injury prevention utilized in athletic training and sports medicine. Much research is available to describe the key components of a cardiovascular screening, but not much research has been conducted regarding the current clinical practices of this idealized screening model. The primary purpose of this study was to describe the current cardiovascular screening practices of clinicians in high school, collegiate, and professional athletic settings. The secondary purpose was to evaluate whether or not current cardiovascular screening practices align with the current, evidence-based recommendations regarding cardiovascular screening practices. Surveys were sent to certified athletic …

The Perspective Of College Seniors In Rotc On Becoming A Commissioned Officer, Natasha Kreft, Hans Stoltzfus, Luke M. Tse, Ruth L. Markham

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

While there is growing research into Military and Mental health issues, the focus of such research has primarily been restricted to those populations who are retired from Military or who step-down from Active Duty. Following a case study with Reservists, we became aware that mental health issues in the Military Population may potentially stem from concepts involved the initial training phases. With the hypothesis that ROTC Cadets are among the youngest persons engaging in Military training, we approached ROTC Air Force and ROTC Army Cadets who were Seniors by credit at Cedarville University.

Resilience In The Hybrid Culture Of The Military Reserve: A Case Study, Natasha Kreft Apr 2014

Resilience In The Hybrid Culture Of The Military Reserve: A Case Study, Natasha Kreft

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

This case study involved interviews with a group of Reservists and Veterans Reservists, all of whom had deployed. As Reservists alternate between jobs or college and active duty or deployment, these constant transitions can cause significant psychological challenges. We propose that Reservists should be considered as possessing a hybrid culture, comparable to civilian and military cultures. Reservists are sandwiched between the demands of civilian and military cultures, and a successful acclamation into this hybrid culture necessitates resilient psychological adaptability on the part of the Reservists. This study highlights areas where collaborations are required to establish resilience in this hybrid culture.

Working Memory In Musicians Versus Non-Musicians: A Differential Study Using The N-Back Task, Kara Nonnemacher Apr 2014

Working Memory In Musicians Versus Non-Musicians: A Differential Study Using The N-Back Task, Kara Nonnemacher

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

The current study investigates whether long-term musical training and practice are associated with greater working memory abilities. Other studies have shown that musicians have cognitive advantages over non-musicians, including working memory. Forty-six college-aged participants were given an auditory-spatial n-back test. The n-back test requires participants to determine whether or not each auditory and spatial stimulus in a sequence matches the stimulus n stimuli ago. In this study, n=2. Participants were classified as either a musician or non-musician based on their years of musical training. Comparing n-back scores between musicians and non-musicians showed no significant findings. Since …

A Qualitative Study Of Pastors' Kids At Cedarville University: A Pilot Study, Ruth L. Markham, Monica H. Arslain, Eric C. Skowronski Apr 2014

A Qualitative Study Of Pastors' Kids At Cedarville University: A Pilot Study, Ruth L. Markham, Monica H. Arslain, Eric C. Skowronski

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Children of pastors (PK’s) are commonly stereotyped in one of two different ways: either they are seen as the model child, or as the prodigal (Barna Group, 2013). The model child is perceived as sheltered and naïve, with expectations placed on them to follow in their parents’ footsteps of faith and practice. The rebel is perhaps the more common stereotype, where children of pastors are seen as having negative feelings toward their father’s position, and wanting to make their own mark on the world and find their own faith journey. The purpose of this study was to determine if either …
