Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

This thesis project explored relationships between factors that may play a role in the intake individuals college students have. Understanding the relationships in previous research between screen time, social context and nutrition the researchers looked to explore these with a new population. College students had not been researched in the study much prior and through the date collected and the relationships observed the researchers were able to see how screen time and social context each affect nutrition, and how they affect each other.

The majority of athletes think there is one ‘right’ way to eat. However, eating and fueling yourbody are highly individualized, especially for female athletes. We evaluated the eating habits of female student-athletes at Arizona State University (ASU) by looking at how they chose to fuel their bodies for training and competition. Through interviews with six female student-athletes, two Registered Dieticians, and one Sports Performance Director all from ASU, we were able to find that, while there were some common eating trends, sports nutrition is individualized. We also learned that student-athletes have room for improvement when it comes to nutrition education.
