Honors Park in South Daytona is a lovely place, tucked back away from where many people go. This is mostly a locals only park, owing to its seclusion at the end of a side street. it is small, and has limited wildlife, although I have gotten some wonderful duck shots there! The flowers are nice, and colors on a sunny day like this one are stunning.
I am fortunate to live in an area that is graced by many local parks. this offers a place to relax as well as providing me with beautiful photos. Not many towns have as many parks as you find in the Daytona area. Tiny South Daytona has several, all but one of them small, but most are really lovely!

Karen Gustafsson is a Dean’s Honored Graduate in the Department of Human Development and Family Sciences. Karen is graduating with departmental honors in Human Development and Family Sciences, and is being recognized for her research described in her undergraduate thesis, “Men’s Sexual Behaviors Predict Cortisol Responses to a Passionate Love Prime,” performed under the supervision of Professor Timothy Loving.
Karen’s thesis explored the physiological and psychological consequences of falling in love. Physiologically, falling in love is associated with higher chronic and acute levels of cortisol, one of the body’s primary stress hormones. These higher levels of cortisol may be indicative of euphoric stress, a nonspecific stress reaction that occurs in response to a positive situation. Psychologically, falling in love is closely associated with sexual desire. Writes Professor Loving, “Karen reasoned that because men tend to equate love with physical intimacy, that they would show strong signs of physiological arousal (i.e., cortisol reactivity) when asked to reflect on falling in love with their current partners…to the extent that they engage in physical intimacy with their partners…As a result, the work has important implications for how love and sexual desire are associated with arousal in men, but not women. Moreover, to this point most of the research on passion, or falling in love, had relied on female samples… Importantly, Karen independently developed the hypotheses for the study.”
Throughout her undergraduate career, Karen has shown the independent drive to do original inquiry and research. Writes Professor Loving, who taught Karen in a large introductory course, “Karen approached me late in the spring 2009 about volunteering in my lab. Normally, I’m very hesitant to take volunteers, particularly those without any research experience, but something about Karen’s drive and passion convinced me to take a chance.”
Karen worked for a year with Professor Loving and Professor David Buss, learning the skills of interacting with study participants as well as collecting, transcribing, and coding data. As Professor Loving describes, “I had no hesitations when Karen asked if I would serve as her honors thesis supervisor beginning the spring 2011 semester. She had some loose ideas about what she wanted to research, so I gave her several articles to read over a weekend, thinking that they might spur a few concrete ideas. Sure enough, she e-mailed me on Monday morning to set up a time to meet – her e-mail included a brief literature review and a theoretically derived hypothesis that built off of two separate lines of research!”
An accomplished classical and bluegrass violinist, Karen will be recording an instrumental album in Sweden this summer. In the coming year, she will be teaching in New Delhi, India, at the Bhatti Mines School through the support of the Austin-based Amala Foundation. In the following year, she hopes to apply to PhD programs in either Human Development and Family Sciences or Clinical Psychology.
