PLATTEVILLE - Three University of Wisconsin-Platteville psychology students, including one from New Glarus, presented their research about college students' hook-up experiences at the Society for Research on Adolescence Biennial Meeting April 12-14 in Minneapolis.

Student researchers included Rachel (Baird) Ahrenholtz, a senior psychology major from New Glarus; Sydney Hahlbeck, a senior psychology and criminal justice major from Appleton; and Melody Hayden, a junior psychology major from Sun Prairie. All are, or were, enrolled in an independent study course with Dr. Julie Hill, assistant professor of psychology at UW-Platteville.

Students presented two posters that were part of a large research project they conducted for the independent study course. Their research began in spring 2017 and continued over the past year.

Ahrenholtz presented "Emerging Adults' Motivations for Never Hooking Up and Their Desire for a Hook-Up."
