In contrast to her hypothesis, Prudence\u2019s findings suggested a trend for the Control group to display poorer memory for a crime scene compared with the Stress group. However, in examining the physiological data (skin conductance and blood pressure), it appeared that participants in the Control condition were more physiological aroused that participants in the Stress condition.<\/p>\n<p>Prudence presented these findings at the 2015 Canadian Psychological Association convention.<\/p>\n<p>It was a great pleasure to work with Prudence on this project and to watch her progress to where she is <a href=\"https:\/\/leungcounselling.com\/\">today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><p><a class=\"more target-modal\" href=\"https:\/\/psychlabs.torontomu.ca\/starlab\/team\/prudence-leung\/\">Learn more<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"team-grid-item filter-all filter-alumni filter-honours-thesis\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"230\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/psychlabs.torontomu.ca\/starlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2024\/01\/Anastasia-230x300-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-team size-team wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychlabs.torontomu.ca\/starlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2024\/01\/Anastasia-230x300-1.jpg 230w, https:\/\/psychlabs.torontomu.ca\/starlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2024\/01\/Anastasia-230x300-1-84x110.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><p class=\"role-title\">Honours Thesis (2014-2015)<\/p><p class=\"team-name\">Anastasia Hunse<\/p><div class=\"post-content hide\"><p>Anastasia examined whether exposure to a therapy dog can buffer the stress response and whether the buffer effect is moderated by pet attitude or personality.<\/p>\n<p>Findings show that therapy dog exposure significantly buffers the stress response as measure by skin conductance.

The most frequently reported physical symptoms were headache, sleep disturbance and cold symptoms. In student reported high levels of stress, problem-focused disengagement coping (i.e. problem avoidance and social withdrawal) was associated with greater depressive and physical symptom reporting. Use of emotion-focused engagement coping (i.e. seeking social support and emotion expression) among high stress students was associated with significantly greater anxiety. Findings indicate that when assessing the moderating effect of coping on outcome, it is important to consider the type of stress-outcome (i.e. psychological or physical). This study provides preliminary evidence that the moderating role of coping and coping subtypes, whether adaptive or not, may depend on the health outcome of interest.<\/p>\n<\/div><p><a class=\"more target-modal\" href=\"https:\/\/psychlabs.torontomu.ca\/starlab\/team\/alyssa-bertram\/\">Learn more<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"team-grid-item filter-all filter-alumni filter-honours-thesis\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"239\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/psychlabs.torontomu.ca\/starlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2024\/01\/528260_10152773167345173_1916860773_n-239x300-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-team size-team wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychlabs.torontomu.ca\/starlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2024\/01\/528260_10152773167345173_1916860773_n-239x300-1.jpg 239w, https:\/\/psychlabs.torontomu.ca\/starlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2024\/01\/528260_10152773167345173_1916860773_n-239x300-1-88x110.jpg 88w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/><p class=\"role-title\">Honours Thesis (2012-2013)<\/p><p class=\"team-name\">Robyn Nastaskin<\/p><div class=\"post-content hide\"><p>Robyn examined the association between perceived stress, diet self-efficacy, and food intake in undergraduate students.\u00a0Her study showed that high perceived stress was associated with increased intake of fat and sodium intake.
