MVC Student Research Symposium Spring 2021

Shito, Miyu- “A Correlational Study of Stress at Work and Employees’ Relationship with Their Supervisors” (poster session) The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between employees’ stress levels at work and their relationships with supervisors. An online anonymous survey was conducted in Google Forms with a total of 37 questions. The data was gathered from PY100 students at Missouri Valley College. It was hypothesized that 1. The stronger the emotional connections employees have with their supervisors, 2. The longer time supervisors spend time with their employees, 3. When supervisors apply transformational leadership, and 4. When supervisors apply considerate leadership, the less likely employees experience stress at work. Silberman, Yarden- “The Effect of COVID on athletes' motivation levels” (session 2B) This study will serve as a follow up study to an earlier one conducted during the fall 2020 semester concerning the effects of the spring 2020 athletic season being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The original study dealt with whether spring athletes at MVC felt more or less motivated for the next season after having their 2020 season cancelled, as well as personal traits that may have influenced that notion. This study asked the same athletes who responded to the first study about their motivational levels towards their sports in the midst of the spring 2021 season, as well as examined whether the changes to their sports dictated by COVID-19 have had any impact on their motivation. Smith, Ariel- “Using CBT and exposure therapy to decrease anxiety in adolescents” (session 4B) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common form of psychotherapy for clients with anxiety disorders. CBT addresses negative patterns and distortions in the way we look at the world and ourselves. Exposure therapy is a component of CBT which can be incorporated for clients who have fear and anxiety. In exposure therapy, clients are encouraged to face an object or situation that causes anxiety, which will ideally increase the client’s sense of control over the situation, and in turn, decrease anxiety. This presentation will provide details regarding CBT and exposure therapy, as well as, how it was applied to a client. Smith, Kendall- “Do Body Worn Cameras Interfere with and Invade Personal Privacy?” (session 4B) Body cameras are something that have become a more relevant and popular tool used with Law Enforcement. With them being used the question comes to mind, where is the line between interfering with privacy and what is acceptable. In this research paper, I will address the concerns that releasing body camera footage causes and how there should be limitations that regard public’s access to body camera footage. Furthermore I will address the research behind the surveys that 100 College students, that are 18+, have conducted and how their responses correlate with the usage of body camera footage and personal privacy.
