An Einstellung Test Correlation With Milgram's Word Meaning Test, Dennis E. Lager
An Einstellung Test Correlation With Milgram's Word Meaning Test, Dennis E. Lager
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
A most important consideration in the area of Psychometrics is the concept of "validity". The question raised by the concept is: "What does this test measure?" To answer the question, We may either correlate the test being examined with some objective criteria or with another test. As we attempt to validate tests our knowledge of what the basic mental and personality traits are and how they relate to one another continues to grow and change.
The test instruments in this study are thought to measure rigidity in personality and concreteness in cognition. Therefore, a specific population considered high in these …

The Relationship Between Food And Fear, Henry Tjahjono
The Relationship Between Food And Fear, Henry Tjahjono
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Traditionally, the procedure of feeding an organism in a fear-producting situation has been viewed as having a fear-reducing effect, called counterconditioning. English and English define counterconditioning as the procedure of conditioning a second and conflicting response to a conditioned stimulus that is not simultaneously being reinforced. Fear is reduced by conditioning to the fear-producing stimuli the incompatible emotional responses associated with eating (e.g.--Miller, 1951)
The strength of fear was illustrated by Miller in 1951. He found that albino rats, trained to run down an alley to secure food at a distinctive place and motivated by a 46-hour hunger, would pull …

The Interaction Of Delay And Magnitude Of The Reward On Acquisition And Extinction In The Straight Alley Runway, Peter Charles Habley
The Interaction Of Delay And Magnitude Of The Reward On Acquisition And Extinction In The Straight Alley Runway, Peter Charles Habley
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to clarify and accurately describe the interactive effects of several amounts of reward and delay on acquisition and extinction or rats in a straight runway. A factorial study involving several levels of reward and delay is presented to further describe and possibly predict what effects these independent variables have on learning curves.
The major purpose of this paper, then, is to determine the interactive effects of delay and magnitude of reward, and to present the results in a clarifying and informative manner.

An Investigation Of The Influence Of Varying Lengths Of Rest Following Differential Amounts Of Practice On The Practice Effect In Tachistoscopic Word Recognition, John G. Platt
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
An experiment was carried out to investigate the influence of varying rest periods after three different amounts of practice on the practice effect in word recognition.
Analysis of the data revealed: (1) rest resulted in a sharp increment in recognition thresholds except at short rest intervals after a brief practice period, (2) the threshold scores immediately after rest were found to be an inverse function of the length of the rest period, and (3) larger threshold increments were observed following greater amounts of practice than after lesser amounts.
The results were discussed in terms of two interpretations of the practice …

Predicting Scholastic Success In A School Of Law, Louida Dare Murray
Psychology ETDs
Professional training is a costly undertaking both for the individual being trained and the institution that trains him. Each year, all over the United States, many young men and women embark upon their professional training as potential lawyers; each year many of these same young men and women withdraw from the law program. Some of the students admittedly withdraw because they ascertain that they will not be able to complete their law training due to inability to cope with the material which they are expected to master. Others, fully capable of dealing with the material in the intellectual sense, find …
Strain Differences In Alcohol Preference On Guinea Pigs And Experimental Manipulation Of Preference By Forced Alcohol Consumption, Gerald L. Appleman
Strain Differences In Alcohol Preference On Guinea Pigs And Experimental Manipulation Of Preference By Forced Alcohol Consumption, Gerald L. Appleman
Masters Theses
Introduction
The study of the determinants of alcoholism, one of the most perplexing diseases of mankind, entered its most fruitful era of discovery in the laboratory of the animal researcher. A pioneering study of the determinants of alcohol consumption by Richter (1940) indicated that laboratory rats show a preference for alcohol over water beginning at 1.8 per cent ethanol (v/v) solution, and continue to prefer alcohol over water up to a 6 per cent ethanol (v/v) solution. Richter made two important contributions to alcohol research which had broader implications than the presentation of an index of alcohol consumption in rats. …
Pain Elicited Aggression As A Function Of Withdrawal From Morphine Addiction, Brian G. Teel
Pain Elicited Aggression As A Function Of Withdrawal From Morphine Addiction, Brian G. Teel
Masters Theses
One branch of aggression research has concentrated on the elicitation of aggressive behavior by means of exteroceptive stimulation. Electric shock or similar painful stimuli (Ulrich & Azrin, 1962) are well known to produce fighting in the laboratory rat. This basic method has allowed experimental analysis of a wide scope of associated variables.
Ulrich and Azrin (1962) investigated several different parameters. They found that laboratory rats increased their fighting behavior as the frequency of shocks increased from 0.1 to 38 shocks per minute. With frequency fixed, the fighting response rate resembled an inverted U-shaped curve when shock intensity was increased from …
Effects Of Delay Of Reinforcement On Problem Solving Behavior, Verne R. Bacharach
Effects Of Delay Of Reinforcement On Problem Solving Behavior, Verne R. Bacharach
All Master's Theses
This study was designed to investigate the effects of delay of feedback in a programmed instruction task, retention, and subsequent problem solving behavior. The instructional material in symbolic logic was specifically presented in such a way as to introduce certain basic logical concepts and mechanical procedures in a logically coherent body of knowledge.

The Weighted Application Blank As A Predicter Of Academic Success In A Junior College, Richard J. Ritchie
Master's Theses
There has been a great of research conducted to find factors which can be used to predict academic success. A number of these factors have already been identified. For example, college board scores, high school rank, and high school grades are widely used a predictors of academic success. Most of the research that has been conducted has dealt with intellectual factor, but there has been some research done to find non-intellectual factors related to academic success. These non-intellectual factors include: study habits, personality, traits, and environmental factors.
One possible predictor of academic success which has received little attention is biographical …
A Comparison Of Estimates Of Relative Frequency Vs. Subjective Probability, Duncan Muir Mcquarrie
A Comparison Of Estimates Of Relative Frequency Vs. Subjective Probability, Duncan Muir Mcquarrie
All Master's Theses
The purpose of this study is to extend the investigation of the general area of subjective probability by exploring three methods of asking for estimates. Inasmuch as this area has not been a major focus of interest for experimental studies, a brief review of the kinds of studies emanating from subjective probability notions will be given.
Revision Of Subjective Probabilities Under A Bayesian Model, Gary A. Sterner
Revision Of Subjective Probabilities Under A Bayesian Model, Gary A. Sterner
All Master's Theses
The purpose of this study was to examine the degree to which subjective probability judgments conform to the Bayesian model of mathematical probability theory; more specifically, the degree to which subjective probability estimates for intersections of events approximate the product of the subjective judgments for component events.
