“We are incredibly grateful for all the Double Dawg Day donors,鈥� Naydenova praised. 鈥淲ithout them this trip would not be possible. We are incredibly excited to go and represent GWU. Go Bulldogs!”

Below are the names of the students and the topics and summaries of their presentations:

Presenter: Caleb Roten

Title: Influencing Others: How Can We Benefit Society?

Roten investigated conversational uses of nonverbal behavior in social interactions. He conducted a two-part study series of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of body language. The results of these studies hold implications for the awareness and enactment of positive persuasion through social marketing, as well as information pertinent to many fields of study, including law enforcement, nature conservation, and higher education.

Presenters: Rachel Gaura, Grace Haynie, and Emeline Martin

Title: Does Proximity to a Romantic Partner Cause Variation in Response to Stressful Situations?

For their research, the students sought to measure stress levels in females with or without their romantic partners present. They sampled people from the GWU college campus, and they were randomly assigned to be in either the group without their romantic partner present, or the group with their romantic partner present. The researchers hypothesized that those with their partners present would not feel as much stress compared to those without their partners. However, the results did not show a significant difference between the two groups. This study was limited by the limited sample size.

Presenters: Jaime Landis, Aubree Thompson and Isabel Suarez

Police and Profiling: Do police officers need more psychological training?

The purpose of this research project was to determine whether police officers can profile more efficiently than undergraduate psychology students. The questionnaire so far has been given to 10 police officers from a department in rural North Carolina, 10 students majoring in psychology in a small private university, and 10 students majoring in non-psychology subjects in the same small private university. After analyzing the participants’ scores and the accuracy of their answers, current results show that police officers are able to profile more efficiently than both psychology and non-psychology students, suggesting factors outside of a formal education in psychology can aid in criminal profiling.
