Research Blog #1: Initial Topic Idea
The topic I am considering for the class project is involving mental health in higher education, basically if universities are allocating enough resources towards it when compared to other programs such as sports, also if there is more or less stigma surrounding such topics in an educational environments such as college when compared to general society views. I picked this topic because it interests me the most since it ties in to my psychology major
This is a timely and interesting topic, and many students have explored it from various angles. The most salient and practical issue right now is that there has been a huge increase in anxiety among students, and that rise has happened very fast, so that state schools especially are scrambling to meet the demand for services at college, and many do not offer adequate support because of that. But there are many angles to explore on this issue, and the strongest papers found an approach to the topic that made it their own.
