Item Empathy and Adverse Childhood Experiences' Role in Choice of Major(2022-04-25) Lutz, Rylan; Gricus, Michelle; Social Work; Hood College Departmental HonorsPrior research suggests that those pursuing college majors with the intent of helping others may be more likely to have higher levels of empathy, and a higher average of adverse childhood experiences. In turn, these experiences may be a motivational factor for a person to select a certain type of major. This study evaluates the number of adverse childhood experiences that undergraduate students majoring in social work, nursing, and psychology have endured in their lifetime. In addition, empathy is quantified as a variable using an Emotional Intelligence Index to analyze a possible relationship with adverse childhood experiences. Analysis suggests that those who have a college major focused on helping others may have elevated levels of emotional intelligence and may have a higher average of adverse childhood experiences.Item Supporting Students with Adverse Childhood Experiences Within the Classroom(2021-04-26) Jody Eccard; Hood College Education; Hood College Departmental HonorsACEs have the potential to cause lifelong negative impacts on the person who has experienced. These effects include but are not limited to: 1. Health Issues a. Obesity b. Diabetes c. Depressions d. Suicide Attempts 2. Behavior a. Smoking b. Alcoholism c. Drug Use 3. Graduation Rates 4. Academic Achievement 5. Lost Time for Work (CDC, 2020) These effects have the potential to impact the classroom by causing impaired relationships, additional pressure on the stress system, and impacted brain development. However, there are research-based interventions that can support and help to negate the effects of these ACEs. Through personal interviews it became apparent that the following research validated approaches should be implemented when working with students who have experienced ACEs: 1. Starting with Yourself 2. Education on Trauma Informed Practices 3. A Team Approach 4. Understanding the Why Behind Behaviors 5. Building Positive and Trusting Relationships 6. Developing the positive attributes, the student already possesses Therefore, all stakeholders involved in a child’s education should work in a collaborative manner to ensure implementation of these strategies.Item The Impact of Protective Factors on the Relationship Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Facial Affect Recognition(2024) Guinevere Schipper; Dr. Megan Shaine; Dr. Michelle Gricus; Dr. Stephanie Masters; Hood College Department of Psychology and Counseling; Hood College Departmental HonorsThe amount of research focusing on the relationship between facial affect recognition (FAR) and adverse childhood experience (ACEs) is growing. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between ACEs and FAR with protective factors as a potential moderator. Convenience sampling yielded 1058 responses to the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire - Short Form (CTQ – SF), Protective Factors for Resilience Scale (PFRS), and the Japanese and Caucasian Facial Expressions of Emotions (JACFEE). It was hypothesized that ACEs would be associated with higher misclassifications of emotions and protective factors would be negatively associated with misclassifications. Additionally, it was hypothesized that protective factors would moderate the relationship between ACEs and FAR, and that certain types of ACEs would correlate more strongly with certain types of misclassifications. Results indicated that the number of ACEs significantly predicted increased misclassifications of emotions and protective factors significantly predicted decreased misclassifications of emotions. Protective factors moderated the relationship between ACEs and misclassifications of emotions. The Sexual Abuse ACE had a significant and positive moderate relationship with misclassifications of emotions. The subsequent ACEs (Emotional Abuse, Physical Abuse, Emotional Neglect, Physical Neglect) had a significant, but weak relationship with misclassifications of emotion.
