Thank you to the many people who have helped make this vision a reality. To Tauna Hunter, the dancers and other faculty members from the Mercyhurst Dance Department, I am grateful for your support, and willingness to help me. I truly appreciate the opportunity to use valuable class time to conduct my study. Deborah Laughlin, Edward Curtin, Timothy Hurst, Jessica Jelinek, Mary Anne Welsh, Deborah Kooser, Judy Jones, Todd Cian, and all of the students from Mercyhurst Preparatory School who participated in this study, I am ever grateful for your help. To Sarah Purvis and the students from Erie Dance Conservatory, thank you for your participation, and allowing me to come during class time. I also must thank my introduction to psychology participants, I am grateful for having the opportunity to work with each of you. Thank you Eileen McDonnell for stepping in for me, Kelsey Chamberlain for lending out your scale, Peter Nagy for your support and advice, and all of my pilot study participants for letting me pick your brain. To my fellow research methods peers, your support and advice are more than appreciated. Finally, Dr. Barron, thank you for your continued guidance, support, advise, and faith in me. I absolutely could not have done this without you. This study is the result of all of these people, each of you have played an irreplaceable role, and my study would not have been successful without all of you. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude. Thank you.
