A Study Of Personality Characteristics Which Distinguish Between Achievers And Underachievers In A Talented Group Of Eighth Grade Pupils, Carl Gustav Mueller Jr.
A Study Of Personality Characteristics Which Distinguish Between Achievers And Underachievers In A Talented Group Of Eighth Grade Pupils, Carl Gustav Mueller Jr.
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
In the present study an attempt is made to discover some of the personality differences which contribute to the underachievement of certain talented pupils. Perhaps, by investigating the presence of such characteristics, it will be possible to develop curricula to assist these talented pupils in the fullest development of their academic potential.
Authoritarianism And Proposition 14, Herbert Henry Foster
Authoritarianism And Proposition 14, Herbert Henry Foster
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
In November of 1964, California voters approved by a very substantial margin the legislative measure known as Proposition 14, a hotly contested constitutional amendment which abolished all then-existing Fair Housing Legislation and prohibited local levels of government from acting in such matters in the future. This legislation was sponsored by the California Real Estate Association and essentially was a response to a recently passed Fair Housing Law known as the Rumford Act, which prohibited discrimination in the sale and rental of housing and assigned enforcement responsibilities to the State Fair Employment Practices Commission.
During the year preceding the election, the …

An Examination Of The Phenomenon Of Preference For Bar Pressong Over Freeloading, Phyllis Thomson
Honors Projects
Since the discovery of the law of effect, psychologists have been investigating a number of the parameters of reinforcing stimuli. The law of effect states that a response is learned, or not learned, depending upon the events (effects) that follow it. To evaluate the aspects of reinforcing stimuli. typically an organism is deprived of food or water and an increase in the probability or speed of a response is noted when small amounts of food or water are made to follow a response. Using this type of paradigm, characteristics of reinforcing stimuli which have been investigated are number of reinforcers, …
Relationships Between Jungian Typology And Value-Orientation, Thomas Richard Funkhouser
Relationships Between Jungian Typology And Value-Orientation, Thomas Richard Funkhouser
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
This study hypothesizes that there exists between a person's value orientation as measured by the Study of Values and his function-types as described by Jung. It is the E's assumption that there is some kind of correspondence between the value processes and the function-types because of their similar approaches. For example, the sensing function is identical with perception of stimuli being received through the sense organs while the aesthetic value seeks form and harmony in an experience. Each is concerned with an impression as it is perceived. The thinking function and the theoretical value are concerned with cognition, logical analysis …

The Nature Of Basic Explanation, David Leonard Thompson
The Nature Of Basic Explanation, David Leonard Thompson
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the concept of basic explanation particularly as it is discussed by Charles Taylor in his book, The Explanation of Behaviour, An exposition of Taylor's views will be followed by a criticisms of them in the light of a number of contemporary approaches to the issue. I will suggest modifications of Taylor's position to make it more compatible with these other approaches. Finally the importance of this idea of a basic explanation will be discussed.

The Role Of Stimulus Similarity In In [Sic] Children's Preferences For Novelty, Larry Fenson
The Role Of Stimulus Similarity In In [Sic] Children's Preferences For Novelty, Larry Fenson
Psychology ETDs
Berlyne (1960) has recently suggested that the degree of “novelty” possessed by a given stimulus is inversely related to three factors: (a) how often patterns that are similar enough to be relevant have been experienced before; (b) how similar they have been; and (c) how recently they have been experienced. Stated more simply, Berlyne is referring to the frequency, similarity, and recency of any stimulus.

The Relationship Of Instructions During Labor And Relaxation, Frances Josephine Hume Lopez
The Relationship Of Instructions During Labor And Relaxation, Frances Josephine Hume Lopez
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
A causal-comparative study was done in a county hospital using twenty subjects to determine if the ''unprepared" primigravida patient in active labor will experience less pain if given instructions to aid relaxation. It was hypothesized that the "unprepared" primigravida patients receiving continuous nurse attendance plus instructions to aid relaxation by (1) breathing techniques, and (2) body positions would show less evidences of pain, tension and anxiety during the first and second stages of labor than the group of patients which received only the continuous nurse attendance.
Two devices, (1) a structured observation, (2) a questionnaire with fixed-alternative questions, were used …
The Effects Of Age At The Beginning Of Reading Instruction On Reading Achievement, Phyllis G. Wacker
The Effects Of Age At The Beginning Of Reading Instruction On Reading Achievement, Phyllis G. Wacker
Master's Theses
Hunt (1961) found that in lower socio-economio groups training provided by the child' s natural environment was often too haphazard for the efficient development of ideas of which he is capable. Limited experiences, or few "learning sets" may be the cause of lack of achievement. These questions led the experimenter, a year later, to undertake a study of these children after each had had two years of formal, in school, reading instruct ion, and to test the following hypotheses:
1. Four groups of children who had entered school at the same time, but at four different ages, would differ significantly …

The Mmpi As A Predictor Of Success Among Seminary Students, Sue Webb Cardwell
Graduate Thesis Collection
Purpose of the study. Since the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory is the psychological test that is most widely used in seminaries in the United States, it was the purpose of this study (1) to establish norms for Christian Theological Seminary that could be compared with general norms and with the norms of two other studies, those of United Presbyterian and Southern California School of Theology seminarians, to help answer the question of how clergymen differ from non-clergymen and whether special norms need to be taken into consideration in the interpretation of MMPI protocols with seminary students; and (2) to see …
Manipulation Of The Magnitude Of Incentive Variable And Runway Performance, David Mason Wildasin
Manipulation Of The Magnitude Of Incentive Variable And Runway Performance, David Mason Wildasin
Masters Theses
The purpose of the present study was an attempt to replicate the findings of Wolfe and Kaplon (1941) using rats and somewhat more precise measurements of the dependent variables. Both the former study and Dyal's work indicate that specification of the amount of reward in terms of the weight of the food is insufficient. Specifically, the effect of presenting the same amount of food in one unit as against presenting it in five units was investigated.
Morbidity, Growth And Development Of Prematurely-Born Twins In Early Childhood, Lynelle King
Morbidity, Growth And Development Of Prematurely-Born Twins In Early Childhood, Lynelle King
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
This study was concerned with the problem of determining the effect of twinship on the prematurely-born twin's growth and physical and emotional morbidity during early childhood. The immediate purposes of the study were to compare prematurely-born twins with prematurely-born singletons regarding their incidence and types of physical and emotional morbidity, and their growth during early childhood. It was hypothesized that prematurely-born twins have slower growth and more physical and emotional morbidity than prematurely born singletons. The descriptive survey method was used. From children cared for at a selected premature clinic, nineteen twins were matched with nineteen singletons for: race, sex, …

The Effects Of Prior Success Or Failure And Subsequent Deviant Verbal Behavior On Group Puzzle Completion, James L. Bowditch
Masters Theses
First paragraph:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of experimentally controlled working conditions upon task performance and attitudes of small work groups. In one condition, initial group experience in the form of success or failure is manipulated in order to study its effects upon subsequent group task performance and attitude. In another condition, the effects of disruption on group performance and attitude is investigated using stooges as the disrupters.
