Possible Factors Influencing Music Preference, Isabella M. Pinto
Possible Factors Influencing Music Preference, Isabella M. Pinto
Psychology ETDs
The purpose of this study is to determine factors influencing musical preference. The most important factor related to preference for classical music is thought by some to be the cultural background of the listener. According to Lazersfeld, "there is probably no question so sensitive to socialize differences as listening to serious music." This is consistent with the opinion of musicians and music critics who state that discriminating musical taste is a result of frequent listening to good music.

Q. scores and a comparison of the score s of students in early adolescence with …
The Role Of The Minister In Psychotherapy, Samuel Schwartz
The Role Of The Minister In Psychotherapy, Samuel Schwartz
Master's Theses
why should the minister intrude on the field of psychotherapy? Physicians will say that many a pastor who has come into the sick-room has done the patient more harm than good. The solemn appearance of the "man of God" and his mournful players have set back many a recovery, they will tell you.

A Study Of The 1947 American Council On Education Psychological Examination And Its Usefulness In Predicting The Grades Of Utah State Agricultural College Freshmen, Russell B. Bateson
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Prediction of future performance is attempted in almost every field of endeavor. The accuracy varies in different lines of study, and perhaps none is as subject to variability as those attempted with human beings as subjects.
When an attempt is made to ascertain in advance the performance of college students in their schoolwork, a multiplicity of complicating problems are introduced. Whereas intelligence can be fairly well isolated, it is difficult to control or even enumerated all the other factors that come into the problem of predicting grades from scores received on an intelligence examination. Among the factors that are difficult …
An Analysis Of Vocabulary Variables At The College Level, Betty Ann Allen
An Analysis Of Vocabulary Variables At The College Level, Betty Ann Allen
Master's Theses
The strength and growth of vocabulary is one or the decisive factors in successful college work. Educators find it helpful to evaluate not only the general vocabulary ability of the college student, but also the more specialized directions which the development of the student 's vocabulary may take.

Influence On Handedness Of Local Application Of Acetylcholine With Dfp And Glycine To Cerebral Cortex Of The Rat, Joseph W. Rigney
Influence On Handedness Of Local Application Of Acetylcholine With Dfp And Glycine To Cerebral Cortex Of The Rat, Joseph W. Rigney
Psychology ETDs
The behavior of an organism is the result of functioning of organic structures. Practice modifies behavior. It is not unreasonable to expect, then, that practice also modifies the structures responsible for the behavior.
In recent years, the metabolism of the nerve impulse has received much attention from neurophysiologists. This is particularly true of those workers who adhere to the theory of chemical meditation, which arose out of the discovery that an ester, acetylcholine, is liberated at the synapses and myoneural junctions within the parasympathetic system. As a result of this interest, today there is much evidence that acetylcholine is closely …

Analysis Of Stresses In A Three Span Continuous Concrete Beam Bridge, G K. Leptien
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
While still attempting to decide on a topic for a thesis study, the author was asked, "How far from the up- ports of a continuous-bean reinforced-concrete bridge should the reinforcing for negative moment extend into the spany." It was a simple question, and the reason for it being asked was that a particular structure, the one shown in the frontispiece, had developed transverse cracks in the surface of the deck structure a distance of three and a half feet from the center of both interior supports. (See the plan view in figure 6, Appendix.) The cracks were by no means …
