• Academics--> GPA, Test Results, Time Spent on Homework

• High School Student Athletes--> Grades 9-12

• Jefferson County Schools--> Columbine, Chatfield, Dakota Ridge, etc.

• Stress levels

• Relationship between stress and academics

• High School Student Athletes in Jefferson County--> may have to specify which classification--> 5A, 4A, 3A maybe even a certain number for schools like 3 or 4 high schools to look at

• Potential of mental health problems--> how it may contribute to sports enjoyment and performance in school

• Breif Description--> "this systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the correlation between athlete stress and burnout"

  • correlation for stress and a reduced sense of accomplishment was most evident among participants of all ages and competitive levels

  • "However, most of the included studies used student-athletes as research samples, which highlights the need for further research exploring the continuity of and change in the stress–burnout correlation across athletes' lives. The implications of the results are discussed herein"

Breif Description--> This article discusses how the COVID pandemic affected the 2020 presidential election in the United States. Halcoussis et al. (2024) explain that it is the public’s common perception that the result of the 2020 election was solely due to the COVID pandemic and he sought to discover whether or not such a perception was true.

Breif Description-->This article focuses on how social media multitasking can negatively affect an adolescents attention control which can therefore negatively affect an adolescents academic performance

Breif Description-->This article discusses how scientific research is influenced by reviews on social media (specifically)  Twitter and provides higher places of education with a guide on how to diffuse their knowledge. However, in doing this, places of education also run the risk of potentially having their research skewed, misinterpreted, or simply just rejected by the public.

Brief Description--> While climate change is mostly thought of in the sense of the environment and how climate change is affecting the earth’s environment, Nori et. al. (2023) explain that climate change not only affects the environment in a negative way, but also human health.

Brief Description->The University of South Carolina has many athletic programs within their school. Pierce (2007) found that the academic success of collegiate student athletes at the University of South Carolina in the engineering program was largely due to a couple of factors. Pierce (2007) conducted a survey in which 12 out of 19 student athletes across all 5 engineering departments and over 6 athletic programs responded to questions that attempted to explore the academic success of NCAA Division 1 collegiate student athletes enrolled at the engineering programs at the University of South Carolina.

Brief Description--> Agustin et. al. (2023) address a gap in research regarding collegiate student-athletes as studies surrounding collegiate student athletes are inconsistent and uncommon in educational psychological journals. Agustin et. al. (2023) look at how motivational, identity-based, and self regulatory factors impact academic achievement of US Collegiate Student-Athletes. They found that “in general, the weighted average correlation between athletic identity and motivation and GPA were negative and would be considered very small but potentially more consequential in the long,” also explaining that the “the effect size magnitudes for role negotiation, self regulation, academic identity-based and academic motivation could be considered medium, suggesting some practical and explanatory use in the short and long runs” (Agustin et. al., 2023, pg. 20).

Breif Desription-->Saarinen et. al. (2023) look at how the role of gender and the role of coaching styles within adolescent (high school) student-athletes impact their motivational orientations in sport and school. Saarinen et. al. (2023) found that coaching styles make a difference in the mastery orientations and motivational orientations of student-athletes, finding that when coaches demonstrate some levels of affection towards their athletes, both male and female athletes tend to demonstrate higher levels of mastery orientation.

Brief Description-->Pinto-Escalona et. al. (2022) compared that academic performance of young elite athletes to the academic performance of students who did not participate in elite level sports and analyzed whether the results of academic performance changed depending on sex and the type of the sport.

Brief Description--> Kohs (2015) sought to understand whether or not student-athletes at the University of Illinois at Chicago would demonstrate higher levels of academic performance than their non student-athlete counterparts

Brief Description--> The purpose of this study was to examine whether or not participation in high school athletics would help or hinder academic performance/achievement in Kansas high school students, ages ranging from 9th to 12th graders. Lumpkin and Favor (2012) found that the relationship between academic performance and participation in high school athletics was not a cause-and-effect relationship as one does not cause the other (pg. 59)

Brief Description--> Lin et. al (2022) looked at the relationship between stress and burnout in athletes, finding that various forms of stress can lead to burnout within athletes (pg. 1308). Specifically, sports-specific stress and general life stress tended to be the most common stressors within student-athletes.
