Sex Of The Therapist: An Exploration Of Competence Attributions As A Function Of Therapist's Gender., Cheryl Loughner-Gillin
Sex Of The Therapist: An Exploration Of Competence Attributions As A Function Of Therapist's Gender., Cheryl Loughner-Gillin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The present study was undertaken to explore the impact of therapist's gender upon competence attributions made by clients regarding the therapist. No predictions were made. Subjects were actual psychotherapy clients at one Windsor and one Detroit out-patient clinic, who were presented with a psychotherapy transcript labeled as conducted by a male or a female therapist, and then requested to fill out a short questionnaire rating the transcript therapist along a range of competency characteristics. Besides the label of the transcript, three other classification variables were employed: subject's sex, sex of the subject's actual therapist at the clinic, and whether or …
The State Of The Bereaved Ego--An Examination Of Conjugal Bereavement In Light Of Bibring's Hypothesized Mechanism Of Depression., Dennis Patrick. Sugrue
The State Of The Bereaved Ego--An Examination Of Conjugal Bereavement In Light Of Bibring's Hypothesized Mechanism Of Depression., Dennis Patrick. Sugrue
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The author proposed that Edward Bibring's egoanalytical hypotheses on the mechanism of depression may serve as a useful model for understanding the dynamics of bereavement. Bibring's position suggests that both bereaved and depressed persons experience a fall in self-esteem in response to the experience of helplessness in achieving narcissistic aspirations. It was predicted that persons who gave evidence of dependency concerns, negative attitudes towards a lost love-object, or an unresolved oedipal conflict would be especially prone to experience a fall in self-esteem.

Personality Dimensions Of Learning Disabled Children: Age And Subtype Differences., John Douglas. Strang
Personality Dimensions Of Learning Disabled Children: Age And Subtype Differences., John Douglas. Strang
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation includes two separate studies. Study 1 was designed to evaluate the significance of age for the personality adjustment of learning disabled children. Three rather heterogeneous groups of learning disabled children (n = 20) who differed in chronological age, were matched for WISC Full Scale IQ, degree of academic impairment in at least one subject area, educational-cultural milieu, and sex. One group was comprised of 8-year-old learning disabled children. Ten-year-old learning disabled children were contained in a second group. A third group included 12-year-old learning disabled children. The PIC (Personality Inventory for Children) profiles of these three groups of …
Menstrual-Cycle Distress: A Study Of Its Relation To Feminine Identity And Sexual Inhibition., Ornella. Piccolo
Menstrual-Cycle Distress: A Study Of Its Relation To Feminine Identity And Sexual Inhibition., Ornella. Piccolo
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Some psychodynamic authors (Deutsch, 1944; Menninger, 1939; Rheingold, 1964; Thompson, 1964a) and Bardwick (1971), writing on the psychology of women, have proposed that symptoms of the menstrual cycle, such as dysmenorrhea and premenstrual tension, express a disturbed feminine identity, a repudiation of femininity, and sexual inhibition. The scanty and often methodologically inadequate research reported to date has yielded contradictory results. In this study the relationship between menstrual-cycle distress, on the one hand, and feminine identity and sexual inhibition, on the other hand, was investigated among 156 first-year university women. In the first session the subjects wrote stories to pictures eliciting …
A Comparison Of Mentally Retarded Children To Normal Children And Of Disabled Readers To Normal Readers: An Evaluation Of A Similar Sequence Hypothesis And A Deficit Hypothesis., Lois Ann. Dobson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study was designed to evaluate a similar sequence and a deficit hypothesis by comparing mentally retarded children to normal children, and disabled readers to normal readers. A total of 167 male children were compared on 16 dependent measures. Thirty-three normal children (age 7-8) were compared to 23 young mentally retarded children (mean age = 10.7), and 15 old mentally retarded children (mean age = 12.5). Twenty-four normal readers (age 7-8) were compared to four groups of disabled readers (ages 9-10, 10-11, 11-12, and 12-13, each group, n = 24). The normal and mentally retarded children were equated on mental …
Psychological Androgyny And Attitudes Toward Feminism In Relation To The Perception Of Dominance And Sexuality., Gerald P. Smith
Psychological Androgyny And Attitudes Toward Feminism In Relation To The Perception Of Dominance And Sexuality., Gerald P. Smith
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The present study contrasted two measures of psychological androgyny, the Bem Sex-Role Inventory and the Personal Attributes Questionnaire, in terms of experimental subjects' bipolar ratings of four gestures (pointing, touching, standing over, and invading another's personal space). This perceptual task partially replicated a study conducted by N. Henley in 1977 dealing with the communication (through nonverbal behavior) of power differences between the sexes. This study examined whether an individual's classification on either androgyny measure was related to the latter's submissiveness-dominance and asexuality-sexuality ratings of photographic slides depicting members of a dyad enacting various combinations of the gestures targeted for study …
Mfft Reaction Time And Reading Performance Of Elementary School Children., Lucia Marie. Mandziuk
Mfft Reaction Time And Reading Performance Of Elementary School Children., Lucia Marie. Mandziuk
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The present investigation examined whether children categorized as fast responders on a visual discrimination task, the Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT; Kagan, Rosman, Day, Albert, & Phillips, 1964), show significant differences in various aspects of reading performance (i.e., speed, comprehension, accuracy, self-corrections) from children categorized as slow responders. Hypotheses were formulated from the research of Bakker (1973). Twenty male and twenty female children were selected from regular grades two, four, and six if their mean reaction time on the MFFT fell either above or below .5 S.D. of the means contained in the MFFT normative data (Salkind, 1978). Reading performance …
