A Comparison Of The Concept Of The Female Role As Held By Women In New York City With That Of A Woman In The Midwest, Sylvia Decker
A Comparison Of The Concept Of The Female Role As Held By Women In New York City With That Of A Woman In The Midwest, Sylvia Decker
Student Work
Throughout history there has been a universal tradition that the differences between the sexes are reflected in the character of male and female as well as in their physical structure. The attributes have been seen as complementary, not only in men and women but in all things. Events in nature and history have been explained by this universal principle. In Taoism, for example, the two principles, the Yin and the Yang, the feminine and the masculine, are parts of a unity. The feminine principle embodies all that is calm, dark, cool, passive, and receptive. The masculine principle embodies everything active, …

An Experimental Comparison Of Several Techniques For Reducing Speech Anxiety, Mary Schatzman Aden
An Experimental Comparison Of Several Techniques For Reducing Speech Anxiety, Mary Schatzman Aden
Student Work
There has been much research done on stage fright, but unfortunately, little of it can be applied specifically to actions a speech teacher can take to solve the problem in the classroom. Stage fright, anxiety, or speech apprehension (terms used synonymously in the report) has been measured, observed, and found to be related to different aspects of personality and audience perception.

Intradimensional Variability With Numbers And Alphabetical Letters In Conceptual Rules, Thomas Henry Clayton
Intradimensional Variability With Numbers And Alphabetical Letters In Conceptual Rules, Thomas Henry Clayton
All Master's Theses
Subjects were assigned to bidimensional rule problems that contained either 5, 10, or 15 levels of intradimensional variability. The stimuli consisted of numbers and alphabetical letters. There were no performance differences by either males or females when the number of levels within each rule was increased. There was a significant difference in performance among the three rules (disjunctive, conditional, and biconditional), however, the conditional was more difficult than the biconditional which is inconsistent with earlier research.
The Effects Of Truth Table Pretraining And Intradimensional Variability On Rule Learning And Attribute Identification Tasks, Eric S. Gebelein
The Effects Of Truth Table Pretraining And Intradimensional Variability On Rule Learning And Attribute Identification Tasks, Eric S. Gebelein
All Master's Theses
Ss were required to sort geometrical patterns into positive or negative instances. According to (a) an attribute identification problem (wherein one of three conceptual rules was given: Disjunctive, Conditional, or Biconditional) or (b) Rule learning problem (wherein the two relevant attributes were given: either yellow, triangle or blue, circle). Intradimensional variability for each condition was either five, seven, or nine levels. The Rule effect was the only significant source of variance even though performance did worsen as intradimensional variability was increased.

The Effect Of A Learning Skills Course Including Group Counseling On Low Achievers In The Community College, Paul E. Borg
The Effect Of A Learning Skills Course Including Group Counseling On Low Achievers In The Community College, Paul E. Borg
All Master's Theses
A Learning Skills course consisting of study skills, goal direction, and self-understanding was tested among volunteer community college low achievers. Treatment integrated didactic, group discussion, and affective experiences in 18 hour-long sessions. Nineteen subjects received treatment; 25 subjects formed a matched control group; and 41 non-volunteers formed two additional control groups. An apparent trend toward GPA improvement was noted for all groups, but all measurements on GPA and a study survey were non-significant.
False Physiological Feedback And Acceptance Of A High Fear Message, Michael T. Gray
False Physiological Feedback And Acceptance Of A High Fear Message, Michael T. Gray
All Master's Theses
This paper presents an attempt to differentiate between the drive reduction and parallel response theories as explanations of results obtained in fear communication research.
Forty-eight subjects were divided into four equal groups and while listening to a high fear message, three groups received false GSR feedback. The fourth group (control) received no feedback. The results failed to differentiate between the two theoretical models and also failed to support findings of an earlier study which used similar feedback techniques.
It was concluded that further research using false feedback techniques needs to be done.
A Comparison Of Verbal And Geometric Stimuli In Concept Learning, Robert William Greenway
A Comparison Of Verbal And Geometric Stimuli In Concept Learning, Robert William Greenway
All Master's Theses
Subjects classified stimulus patterns into positive or negative instances of the concept according to either an attribute identification (AI) problem or a rule learning (RL) problem. Four types of stimulus materials were used: verbal stimuli (V), geometric stimuli (G), or two combinations of these modes, verbal geometric (VG) or verbal colored (VC). The only main effects that were significant were the Type of rule and Type of problem. Some interactions were obtained between these factors and the stimulus mode employed.

Experimenter Bias Effect At Varying Levels Of Motivation, Leslie Marie Slade Gray
Experimenter Bias Effect At Varying Levels Of Motivation, Leslie Marie Slade Gray
All Master's Theses
This study examined the effects of experimenter motivation upon the experimenter bias effect on a person perception task. It was hypothesized that the experimenter bias effect would decrease as reward and threat of punishment increased.
Thirty-five experimenters were randomly assigned to five treatment groups including a control group, two reward groups, and two punishment conditions. Each experimenter administered the photo task to two subjects. The results failed to support the experimental hypotheses.
