The Psychology Of Conversion, James Roy Smith Aug 1948

The Psychology Of Conversion, James Roy Smith

Master's Theses

The present study of conversion is approached through the medium of psychology, which, like the Christian religion, is extremely interested in human beings.

Observations Of The Use And Efficacy Of Changing A Patient's Concept Of His Role: A Psychotherapeutic Device, Ethel Edwards Jul 1943

Observations Of The Use And Efficacy Of Changing A Patient's Concept Of His Role: A Psychotherapeutic Device, Ethel Edwards

Master's Theses

The problem we faced was to try to develop some form of psychotherapy that would not consume a great deal of time. It was desirable that it should be applicable to a wide range in type of cases and that it should be simple enough so that it would require little training on the part of the therapist. Semantics suggests that a personality may be built up because of language. The use of words as a means of communication has created a civilization yet each person because of individual differences and experiences has his own interpretation of these words. As …

Some Contributions To The Understanding Of The Stability Of Attitudes, Betty Bennett Jul 1941

Some Contributions To The Understanding Of The Stability Of Attitudes, Betty Bennett

Master's Theses

The field of attitude research may be placed in three categories: 1. Determination of the consensus of public opinion regarding social issues. 2. Attitude measurement techniques. 3. Investigation of the intrinsic psychological nature of human attitudes. This study has to do with the third category. Unless this point is clearly borne in mind, the purpose of the investigation which is reported herein may be obscure. Here we are not concerned with the content of the attitude, but with the mechanism of the attitude. We are studying the attitude to determine its inner characteristic s, its make-up, rather than to show …

A Factor Analysis Of Verbal Ability, Floyd Edward Reynolds May 1941

A Factor Analysis Of Verbal Ability, Floyd Edward Reynolds

Master's Theses

For many years the practical value of tests of intelligence, aptitude and other qualities has been demonstrated. As the “testing movement” has grown, a multitude of tests has been devised and is now available for testing of human abilities. Two of the most important attempts to understand intellectual abilities are found in the theories and methods of Spearman and Thurstone. There is a possibility that the statistical studies of these theorists have overlooked a valuable source of information, that is existing experimental information about different processes included in mental ability. It is this possibility that prompted this study.
