Residential Environment Studies Relevant For Research Programs. An Annotated Bibliography. Economic, Aesthetic And Environmental Aspects Of Family Housing, Florence S. Walker

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

At the time NCR-54 Committee was activated in 1966, the membership was charged with recommending new directions for housing research by home economists and others associated with Agricultural Experiment Stations. Basic to this charge, the committee determined to compile a list of housing research publications which had had an impact on the teaching and research responsibilities as perceived by the committee members. The compilation took the form of abstracts of research on selected aspects of housing: i.e., design and aesthetic, physical-physiological and socioeconomic, as well as influential general studies.

The present study was made by the University of Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station to determine the extent of similarity in the plans of one particular style of house, the square house of more than one story. Patterns of remodeling will be developed if the similarity of existing houses justifies such a project. The two story square house was chosen for study because it is one of the predominant old style houses still in existence throughout the North Central Region.

An Analysis Of Divorce In Nebraska, Kenneth L. Cannon Jan 1954

An Analysis Of Divorce In Nebraska, Kenneth L. Cannon

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Each year the State of Nebraska compiles and publishes a considerable amount of data on marriage and divorce. An analysis of these data-such as a study of the extent, increase, and rate of divorce-offers a factual basis for determining how the family is faring in certain important aspects. Some indication of the probabilities of divorce may also be gained. The areas in a state where family breakdown is least and most pronounced may be located, and by comparing these areas, factors associated with high rates of divorce may be determined. The location of the areas may point out where research …

The data for the comparisons are the average scores made by representative samples of young people from each environment on a set of tests and scales designed to …


The Relation Of Certain Factors In Farm Family Life To Personality Development In Adolescents, Leland H. Stott Oct 1938

The Relation Of Certain Factors In Farm Family Life To Personality Development In Adolescents, Leland H. Stott

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Although "the family" has been much written about, and studied from many points of view in the past, relatively little attention has been given by investigators to the problem of determining the factors which make for successful family life. The need for information of this sort is obvious, and in recent years a few studies have been made from this point of view. The present study was undertaken for the purpose of gathering further information about "normal" families and some of the home-environmental factors which are thought to contribute to, or hinder, the achievement of successful family life.

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This study of farm families in selected districts of Nebraska was undertaken in order to obtain information regarding the total money value of family living and the proportion of the total used for each of the principal groups of goods. A further purpose was to measure the adequacy of the living provided. The study was begun in January, 1931, and continued through the year 1933. The districts selected included Cass and Fillmore counties throughout the three-year period, and to these Buffalo county was added at the beginning of 1932.
