A Content Analysis Of Student's Perceptions Of Instructors, Bill C. Cassill
A Content Analysis Of Student's Perceptions Of Instructors, Bill C. Cassill
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
In his recent confirmatory factor analysis of the Instructional Development and Effectiveness Assessment rating instrument (IDEA), Marsh (1994) identified six factors matching those from his Students' Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ) rating instrument. However, four of these factors, Enthusiasm, Interaction, Learning, and Organization, were found to be highly intercorrelated. Due to this, other researchers have questioned whether these four factors are really independent constructs as Marsh asserts. Because of the question of independent constructs, many researchers feel that a greater reliance should be placed on the use of global rating items instead of items designed to measure specific dimensions of …
Sexual Harassment Of Female Newspaper Employees, Rebecca Carlisle
Sexual Harassment Of Female Newspaper Employees, Rebecca Carlisle
Honors Theses
This study addresses sexual harassment among female journalists at 12 newspapers across the country. Included in the sample were 46 reporters, 14 copy editors, and 17 employed in other areas including section editors and photographers. They worked at newspapers ranging in circulation size from 6,000 to 250,000. In addition, this study attempted to replicate at least portions of the 1995 study "Outing sexual harassment of female journalists" by Kim Walsh-Childers and others from the University of Florida. The purpose of replication is to test the truth in the original, be it survey research, an experiment, or another form of research. …

The collection of specimens began in May 1995 and extended through July 1996, for a total of fourteen months. The field work resulted in 412 specimens, comprising 79 families, 178 genera, and 252 species. The Lula Lake Land Trust is a non-profit, privately owned entity dedicated to the conservation and preservation of the Lula Lake area. It is in an alliance with The Nature Conservancy of Georgia, the Tennessee Aquarium, and the University of Tennessee …
Job Satisfaction Of Emergency Nurses In Tennessee, Breezie Caudle Finley
Job Satisfaction Of Emergency Nurses In Tennessee, Breezie Caudle Finley
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Emergency departments seem to attract highly motivated nurses who are challenged by this unique specialty area of nursing practice. Emergency nurses have initial contact with patients, making assessments and directing patients to the appropriate resources for health care. Skilled emergency nurses need to remain motivated to have job satisfaction and productivity for quality patient care. The purpose of this study was to identify intrinsic and extrinsic factors that contributed to job satisfaction and dissatisfaction among emergency nurses, to determine if there was a relationship between emergency nurses' years of experience and job satisfaction, and to ascertain if there was a …
Automation And Analysis Of Thermometric Titrations, Russel P. Linneman Ii
Automation And Analysis Of Thermometric Titrations, Russel P. Linneman Ii
Honors Theses
Over the past three years, I have been involved in the development and testing of an automated thermometric titration system for chemical research. There were three major phases in this process. The first phase consisted of modernizing the equipment and software. The second phase consisted of testing the software and equipment with a known chemical system. The third phase consisted of original research.
The Method Of Radicle Emergence In Phytolacca Americana (Pokeweed), Staci A. Van Winkle
The Method Of Radicle Emergence In Phytolacca Americana (Pokeweed), Staci A. Van Winkle
Honors Theses
Germination is a key element in the development of a plant. This process encompasses several stages, one of which is the elongation of the radicle tip. This process has been noted to occur by different methods such as rapid mitotic division or cell elongation. However, such a mechcmism has not been studied in Phytolacca americana (pokeweed). It was the intention of this study to observe at the cellular level the nature of the Phytolacca americana radicle during normal germination. This was done using a routine histological microtechnique which involves embedding in paraffin and sectioning with a microtome. The sections were …

Small Mammal Diversity In Grassy Habitats Of The Tennessee River Gorge, Nancy Monteith
Small Mammal Diversity In Grassy Habitats Of The Tennessee River Gorge, Nancy Monteith
Honors Theses
A survey of small mammal diversity in grassy habitats of the Tennessee River Gorge was conducted from February 20, 1995 to July 27, 1995. The purpose of the study was to provide new information on the biogeographical distribution of small mammals in southeastern Tennessee and to aid the Tennessee River Gorge Trust in its effort to have the gorge designated as a Biosphere Reserve. A total of 122 mammals representing ten species were collected from four different sites in the gorge. As a result of this study, new information was obtained that requires a range extension for the southern short-tailed …
General Joseph Wheeler And The Mounted Rifles: Cavalry Proves Its Worth In The Chattanooga Area, Josh Correll
General Joseph Wheeler And The Mounted Rifles: Cavalry Proves Its Worth In The Chattanooga Area, Josh Correll
Honors Theses
There is a commonly held opinion among some historians that cavalry, men fighting from horseback, were obsolete by the time of the American Civil War. The problem with this perception is the definition of obsolescence. While it is true that cavalry as a charging, frontline force was mostly ineffective, this was not the kind of cavalry used in that conflict on a large scale. Instead, a new kind of cavalry, the Mounted Rifles, was put into practice by some of the commanders, most notably one of the Confederacy's youngest cavalry generals, Joseph Wheeler. Wheeler's cavalry instead worked within an army, …
Age-Related Dendritic Changes In Human Occipital And Prefrontal Cortices: A Quantitative Golgi Study, Kelly A. Courns, Bob Jacobs
Age-Related Dendritic Changes In Human Occipital And Prefrontal Cortices: A Quantitative Golgi Study, Kelly A. Courns, Bob Jacobs
Modern Psychological Studies
Qualitative (Scheibe!, 1992) and quantitative (Jacobs & Scheibel, 1993) research indicates a general decline in dendritic neuropil with increasing age. The present study extends previous human dendritic research by examining quantitatively age-related changes in 2 cortical areas: prefrontal cortex (area 10) and occipital cortex (area 18). Tissue blocks were obtained from the left hemisphere of 10 neurologically normal subjects, ranging in age from 23 to 81 years. Blocks were stained with a modified rapid Golgi technique. Supragranular pyramidal cells were quantified on a Neurolucida computer/microscope interface system (Microbrightfield, Inc.). Dendritic system complexity was determined by several dependent measures: total dendritic …
Symbolic Interaction And An Interpretive Approach To Cross Cultural Psychiatry, Henry Dyson
Symbolic Interaction And An Interpretive Approach To Cross Cultural Psychiatry, Henry Dyson
Modern Psychological Studies
Adoption of the medical model of psychopathology has de-emphasized the need for psychiatry to incorporate new developments from the other social sciences. The need for an interpretive (rather than merely biological) approach to psychopathology based upon theories of symbolic interaction is argued in the present article with respect to the emerging field of cross-cultural psychiatry. Groundwork for such an approach is sketched out by application of Obeyesekere's (1981) anthropological theory of personal symbols.
Occupational Possible Selves: Patterns Among Male And Female Undergraduates, Lori D. Lindley, Linda M. Chalk, Aimee Ellenich
Occupational Possible Selves: Patterns Among Male And Female Undergraduates, Lori D. Lindley, Linda M. Chalk, Aimee Ellenich
Modern Psychological Studies
This study uses the possible selves theory (Markus & Nurius, 1986) to examine the differences between 27 undergraduate men and 27 undergraduate women in their perceptions of their future occupational possibilities. Participants rated a list of feminine, masculine, and neutral jobs on how much they feared, expected, and idealized each one. Analysis was done using a within-subjects repeated measures MANOVA test and backward elimination regression analysis. Both men and women were found to fear feminine jobs more than they expected or idealized these jobs (all ps < .001). Women were found to fear masculine jobs more than they expected (p < .001) but not more than they idealized these jobs (p < .060). Occupational self-efficacy and support of the women's movement were also analyzed for their possible influence on fear of masculine jobs, using the Attitudes Toward Feminism and the Women's Movement Scale and the Task-Specific Scale of Occupational Self-Efficacy, but no significant predictors were found.
Exploring Three Correlates Of Thought Suppression: Attention, Absorbtion, And Cognitive Load, Carolyn I. Vicchiullo, Dana S. Dunn
Exploring Three Correlates Of Thought Suppression: Attention, Absorbtion, And Cognitive Load, Carolyn I. Vicchiullo, Dana S. Dunn
Modern Psychological Studies
Previous studies evaluating the probability of successful thought suppression (attempts to rid our minds of repeated unwanted thoughts) have relied solely upon internal mental distracters (Wegner, 1989), characterizing thought suppression to be a controlled rather than an automatic process. As an alternative approach, the effects of attention actively focused on limited external stimuli were studied in order to achieve easy, effortless, and successful thought suppression. Participants included students enrolled in undergraduate psychology courses. Experiment 1 showed that the presence of cognitive load (computerized tests of perceptual skills) occupied conscious capacity sufficiently so that attempts to suppress both mundane (tree) and …
