We hope this research will serve as a catalyst for further study in this area.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>-Baileigh Kirkpatrick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Principal Investigator: Baileigh Kirkpatrick (Ralph George Scholar) Research Assistants: Morgan Truett &#8220;Previous research has shown that art-making, specifically drawing, has a significant impact in relieving negative emotions (namely sadness).
