Immunogold Electron Microscopy01:20

Immunogold Electron Microscopy

Immunoelectron microscopy utilizes immunogold labeling of endogenous proteins with specific antibodies to detect and localize these proteins in cells and tissues. The procedure provides insights into the distribution and quantification of protein under different stimulation conditions offering clues about their functions. Conjugating highly electron-dense gold particles with primary or secondary antibodies allow antigen detection on and within cells, with high resolution and specificity.
Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Pediatric Health
  • School Wellness Programs

Background:

  • Childhood obesity is a significant public health concern.
  • School-based interventions can promote healthy eating and physical activity.
  • Utah's Gold Medal Schools program aims to create healthier school environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Gold Medal Schools program.
  • To assess the program's impact on elementary students' body mass index (BMI) z scores.
  • To examine changes in dietary habits and physical activity levels.

Main Methods:

  • Pilot study comparing intervention (Gold Medal Schools) and comparison schools.
  • Included anthropometric measurements, dietary surveys, and physical activity assessments.
  • Data collected from 1st, 3rd, and 5th graders at baseline and 1-year follow-up.

Main Results:

  • BMI z scores increased in the comparison group but not in the intervention group.
  • Intervention group students reported fewer daily soft drink servings.
  • Intervention group students walked or biked to school more frequently.

Conclusions:

  • The Gold Medal Schools program shows promise in improving student health outcomes.
  • The program positively influences key health behaviors related to diet and physical activity.
  • Further research is warranted to confirm these findings in larger populations.
