Minority And Majority Student Group Perceptions Of Preferred Change Within A University Setting, John G. Bradberry
Minority And Majority Student Group Perceptions Of Preferred Change Within A University Setting, John G. Bradberry
Master's Theses
The present study tested the usefulness of a non -traditional method of gathering and structuring qualitative data regarding minority and majority group perceptions of a shared organizational environment. The goal of the method was to minimize the investigator's direct control over the information gathering process, thereby accurately capturing the subjective realities of the groups without relying on a single, externally imposed standard. An item-sorting methodology and subsequent hierarchical cluster analytic procedures identified two major issues differentiating participant groups: (1) the generation and categorization of ethnic-content items, and (2) levels of emotionality in the generation and rating of items. The present …
Canadian Federal Policy Towards Indian Education Since Confederation: Policy Making And Its Philosophy, Ling Yang
Master's Theses
Canadian Indian education is a complex problem in Canada's history. For the native people, education is the only way to preserve their cultural tradition. For the government, it has been the main means to assimilate the natives into the mainstream of the society. Because the majority culture has dominated Canadian society for more than two centuries, the Canadian federal government's policy and its making are the keys to understanding Indian education. Based on research in official records in the National Archives of Canada and field-research in Canadian Indian Reserves, this thesis shows that the federal government did not accept "Indian …
James Branch Cabell's Jurgen : Fulfillment And Paradox, Elizabeth Witham Loving
James Branch Cabell's Jurgen : Fulfillment And Paradox, Elizabeth Witham Loving
Master's Theses
James Branch Cabell's controversial, Jurgen, is the novel that propelled him into fame. Suppressed as pornography only months after its publication, Jurgen drew attention from many areas. While Cabell's peers protested the suppression and praised the novel as a masterpiece, other readers were only interested in the forbidden "racy" language. Unfortunately, it was for the second reason that Jurgen became the most widely read of Cabell's works. The general public was not interested in his talent as a writer, but it was interested in a scandalous book. The novel's suppression received so much publicity, that everyone wanted to read …
Antebellum Southampton County, Virginia, 1840-1860, Richard Tyler Kanak
Antebellum Southampton County, Virginia, 1840-1860, Richard Tyler Kanak
Master's Theses
This thesis is a descriptive account of life in antebellum Southampton. Established by the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1749, Southampton County gained notoriety as the site of Nat Turner's slave rebellion. Fears of another armed slave revolt prompted the Virginia General Assembly to enact a series of stringent slave codes, which remained in effect until the Civil War. Primary sources consulted in the preparation of this thesis include corporate records, church manuscripts, court order books, reports of county and state officers, tax journals, and personal papers of the county's contemporary citizens.
Investigating The Viability Of Yeast Expressing Histone From Extrachromosomal Dna : Progress In Construction Of A Plasmid Bearing One Copy Of Each Yeast Histone Gene, Ralph Donaldson Hellams Jr.
Investigating The Viability Of Yeast Expressing Histone From Extrachromosomal Dna : Progress In Construction Of A Plasmid Bearing One Copy Of Each Yeast Histone Gene, Ralph Donaldson Hellams Jr.
Master's Theses
Much of the current information on histones has been based on in vitro studies. The original goal of this research was to construct a mutant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing all chromosomal copies of the yeast histone genes made nonfunctional. This project would demonstrate whether such a strain could be rescued by a plasmid carrying the wild-type copies of the four core histone genes. Furthermore, this yeast strain construct would allow future investigations to take advantage of histone mutant analysis in vivo. The critical step in beginning this work was the construction of a plasmid which contained the genes …
The Effects Of Self-Esteem, Performance Feedback, And Behavioral Verifiability On Self-Serving Biases, Diana C. Slatopolsky
The Effects Of Self-Esteem, Performance Feedback, And Behavioral Verifiability On Self-Serving Biases, Diana C. Slatopolsky
Master's Theses
The present study examined the psychological processes underlying the self-serving bjas, the tendency to portray one's own qualities as more favorable then those of others. Subjects were asked to predict future success on a behavioral task for themselves and for the average student at their university after receiving performance feedback on the same task. It was proposed that self-enhancing predictions would be moderated by subject's self-esteem (high or low), the verifiability of task performance (high or low), and performance feedback (success or failure). The results revealed that subjects with high self-esteem displayed a self-serving bias regardless of performance verifiability or …
"This Enterprise Non Shall Partake With Me." : Milton's Conquering Of His Precursors Through Orphean Allusions, Kathryn Nyreen Cooke
"This Enterprise Non Shall Partake With Me." : Milton's Conquering Of His Precursors Through Orphean Allusions, Kathryn Nyreen Cooke
Master's Theses
Within his poetry and prose, John Milton shows a respect for the authors of antquity while simultaneously seeking his own voice, a style that makes him different from and better than his predecessors. Milton's works contain expressions of these Renaissance characteristics: the appreciation of the Classics, the search for a more personal relationship with God, and the attempt to achieve some individuality; however, even in the smallest of literary figures such as the Orphean allusions, the need to combine a respect for the past with the ambition for a uniquely personal voice as a poet exists. The isolation of the …
Defining Codependency : A Factor Analytic Approach, Kimberly A. Elliott
Defining Codependency : A Factor Analytic Approach, Kimberly A. Elliott
Master's Theses
This study examined the construct validity of the Friel Inventory, via relationship with the ACL. A factor analysis of the ACL scores collected from 89 introductory psychology students was conducted. These factors were then correlated with the items of the Friel Inventory, which was from the same subjects. The purpose was to determine if codependence, as measured by the Friel Inventory, was a unique construct or a combination of well researched personality traits, as measured by the ACL. The findings supported the former as the correlations among the Friel Inventory items and the ACL factors yielded no relationships above that …
