My name is Mia Parker, and I am a second-year undergraduate student from Orlando, FL, majoring in Cell & Molecular Neuroscience at Florida State University. I am on the pre-medicine track, with aspirations of pursuing a career in dermatology, where I hope to integrate clinical practice with research to advance patient care.I have developed a strong foundation in scientific inquiry and laboratory techniques through my coursework and research experience, including my involvement in the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP). I am eager to continue expanding my research experience throughout my undergraduate career, focusing on areas such as neurocognitive diseases this summer. Beyond UROP, I am involved with Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare as a Clinical College Associate Volunteer where I assisted nurses with patient care.

Emerging Adults Experiences with Frustration in Dating

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between frustration and dating experiences to develop a scale for measuring dating related frustration. To do this, we must also understand other emotions such as loneliness and rejection. By addressing this gap, the research provides information that may improve dating experiences.
The study used a self-report survey consisted of questions. Data was collected at two points assessing how experiences changed over time. Necessary research tasks included study advertisement and participant recruitment.
Preliminary results are expected to reveal relationships between frustration in dating and feelings of loneliness. This information will help develop a frustration scale and provide data for future research.
