School Morale And Self-Esteem Involving Adolescents With Learning Disabilities, Ted E. Barrett
Master's Theses
A student's cognitive achievement may be facilitated or repressed by various elements that constitute his affective character; his feelings, attitudes, and expectations form a substantial relationship with achievement. Rather than limiting themselves to evaluating those cognitive areas that relate with various measures of achievement, the administrators and staff members at the New Community School (NCS) have specified a desire to investigate and measure both the attitudes toward school and the self held by their attending students. Within the domain of educational evaluation, greater significance is being accorded to the students' values, interests, and attitudes(Lockwood 1973). In keeping with such considerations, …
The Effect Of Non-Directive Play Therapy Upon Self-Concept In Young Children, Cheryl Hiltebeitel
The Effect Of Non-Directive Play Therapy Upon Self-Concept In Young Children, Cheryl Hiltebeitel
Master's Theses
Establishing communication in therapy is fre uently a difficult task, and the difficulty increases when one is dealing with a young child who has not yet acquired fluid verbal skills. To facilitate the therapeutic process, it is necessary to find a oedium of communication which is both effective and comfortable for the child in that situation; "the therapeutic medium best suited for young children is play" (Ginott, 1961, p .7). Through the manifestations of a child's imagination and spontaneity, one can build a communication bridge which provides both. an unobstructed road for his self-expression and a pathway toward learning.about the …
The Effects Of Rules And Instructions, Consultant Feedback, And Teacher Self-Monitoring On Teacher And Student Behavior During Consulting And Non-Consulting Periods, Kenneth Slater Roach
The Effects Of Rules And Instructions, Consultant Feedback, And Teacher Self-Monitoring On Teacher And Student Behavior During Consulting And Non-Consulting Periods, Kenneth Slater Roach
Master's Theses
This study investigated the effects of rules and instructions, consultant feedback, and self-monitoring on teacher approval, disapproval, and student on-task behavior. Data was collected during a consulting period, measuring changes when the consultant was present, and during a non-consulting period, assessing whether similar changes occurred with the consultant absent. Three elementary teachers who exhibited more verbal disapproval than approval participated. On-task data was collected on three randomly selected students in each classroom. Following baseline, the teachers set classroom rules and were instructed to increase their approval and decrease disapproval. During the consulting period of the feedback phase, the consultant provided …

Educational Ability, Practice And Short Term Memory, Barbara Jean Arthur
Educational Ability, Practice And Short Term Memory, Barbara Jean Arthur
Master's Theses
Thirty-six fourth grade students were selected and classified into one of three groups on the basis of participation in the DISTAR Reading Program, educational ability as measured by the STEA and a reading readiness factor, Each group received two tests of short term memory (STM ) involving auditory presentation and either auditory or visual recall after a retention interval of 4, 8 or 12 seconds. Analysis verified previous research in this area with respect of task difficulty, retention as a function of interval length and acoustic similarity of response errors. Neither educational ability nor practice elevated the students' performance on …
The Relationship Of Resting Cardiac Activity And Locus Of Control To Impulse Control, Carol Kress Coukos
The Relationship Of Resting Cardiac Activity And Locus Of Control To Impulse Control, Carol Kress Coukos
Master's Theses
The relationship between the autonomic nervous system and various personlity characteristics has become a popular area of scientific investigation with the advent of accurate means of measurement of autnomic nervous system activity. The act of measuring autonomic nervous system activity carries great clinical value. Clinicians practicing systematic desensitization use the galvanic skin resistance -as an indication of whether the stimulus in question produces too much· anxiety for the client. The clinician, of course, also relies on the client's verbal response. Measurement of galvanic skin resistance provides additional information for the clinician. The clinician can draw from more than one response, …
Test For A Learned Drinking Response : Support For Appetitive Preparedness, Brian L. West
Test For A Learned Drinking Response : Support For Appetitive Preparedness, Brian L. West
Master's Theses
Seligman, Ives, Ames and Mineka (1970a) have suggested that by the nature of the stimulus-response association in appetitive states a prepared mechanism using "mild" deprivation cues exists which will activate an appetitional resolution. Pairing of a neutral stimulus with this prepared mechanism results in a conditioned stimulus capable of electing the drinking response. Contrary to this hypothesis, Mowrer (1956) posited that a water deprived state induces an emotional reaction or "thirst fear." It is assumed that reduction of this stimulus may be accomplished by means of alleviating the deprived state. A conditioned external stimulus can therefore elicit the drinking response …
A Partial Test Of The Contingency Model On Adult-Led Groups Of Children, Jeffrey Wayne Jones
A Partial Test Of The Contingency Model On Adult-Led Groups Of Children, Jeffrey Wayne Jones
Master's Theses
The problem was to test the applicability of Fiedler's contingency model on 15 adult-led groups of children in a field situation. The effectiveness of high and low least preferred co-worker (LPC) leaders on structured and unstructured group tasks was investigated when leader member relations were good and leaders had strong power. The data were analyzed in a 2 x 2 factorial design using the analysis of variance. None of the F tests reached statistical significance, thus the model was not supported. Several possible reasons for the findings were given as well as suggestions for future research.
The Effects Of Crowding On The Dominance Behavior Of Laboratory Rats As Assessed By Three Measures Of Dominance, Barbara C. Worthington
The Effects Of Crowding On The Dominance Behavior Of Laboratory Rats As Assessed By Three Measures Of Dominance, Barbara C. Worthington
Master's Theses
The present study was designed to assess behavioral changes in social dominance, which may accompany or be affected by short term crowding and any adrenal enlargement which may be a concomitant of crowding. To avoid methodological inaccuracy and further establish whether different measures of dominance would accrue the same results a multimethod approach suggested by Howells and Kise (1974) was employed. · Additionally sequence of test presentation was considered and both male and female subjects were used to determine if the measures differentially discriminated between the sexes.
This experiment as designed to evaluate the effects of crowding (independent variable) on …
The Effect Of Interpersonal Trust, S̲ Naivete, And The Use Of Deception Upon S̲ Perceived Demand Awareness, Robert George De Laney
The Effect Of Interpersonal Trust, S̲ Naivete, And The Use Of Deception Upon S̲ Perceived Demand Awareness, Robert George De Laney
Master's Theses
The present experiment was designed to study the effect of the variables of naivete concerning psychological experimenta tion, the use of deception, and level of trust on a S's ability to become demand aware. It was hypothesized tha t the demand awareness of high and low trust s would be differentially affected by their level of knowledge about psychological experi menta tion, and by the type of explanation given to them (none, honest, deceptive) as to the purpose of the experiment. Non significant results indica ted no support for this hypothesis. Difficulties with the subjective aspect of the demand awareness …
An Argument For The Unconstitutionality Of De Facto Racial Segregation In Public Education, Craig Stover Cooley
An Argument For The Unconstitutionality Of De Facto Racial Segregation In Public Education, Craig Stover Cooley
Master's Theses
The intent of this paper is to show an affirmative duty on the part of all governments (national and State) to eliminate racial imbalances, whether they be "de jure" or "de facto", from the public schools. The thesis of this paper is that racial segregation is violative of the Constitution of the United States. No distinction need be made between State imposed or State tolerated racial im- balance. Failure to take affirmative action to eliminate segregation and its detrimental effects on black public school students is a transgression of the rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment and the interstices of …
