A Psychological Investigation Of Seven Hermaphroditic Children, Peter Lewis Kranz
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
An in-depth personality and intellectual evaluation of a group of hermaphroditic children residing in the state of Oklahoma was undertaken in this study. The following techniques were utilized in order to extensively study the impact of this anomaly on the families of these children: psychological tests, parental interviews by a social worker, and diagnostic play interviews conducted by the investigator. It was the purpose of this study to examine the psychological impact of sexual ambiguity on the child and his parents.
There were no significant differences between the two groups on any of the tests given. This may be attributed …

Social Class Differences In Cognitive Development Of Children, Jalaine P. Jensen
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The social class differences in experiences which lead to cognitive development of children were investigated. A sample of 20 middle-class mothers with children enrolled in the Child Development Laboratory school and 18 lower-class mothers with children enrolled in the Head Start program in the Ogden City School District was chosen by placing the children's names in an age-ranked order. Two mothers who met the qualifications of being lower- class, but not having children enrolled in Head Start, were also included in this study. An interview outline was devised to attempt to standardize the interviews. It was concerned with five areas: …

The Use Of Mental Imagery Among Young Children In The Acquisition Of Piaget's Principles Of Conservation, Richard C. Sweetland
The Use Of Mental Imagery Among Young Children In The Acquisition Of Piaget's Principles Of Conservation, Richard C. Sweetland
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This study attempted to discover some parameters in terms of mental age at which young children, ages five through eight, begin to utilize effectively their mental imagery in the learning process. Using Piaget's principles of conservation as a learning task, subjects were taught in one of two groups: Group one was instructed in conservation concepts by use of concrete example, in which case they were allowed to see, handle and manipulate materials as they underwent transformations. Group two received identical instruction but were called upon to use their mental imagery to visualize the materials undergoing transformations.
Based upon the administration …
The Effect Of An Extended Music Curriculum On The Behavior Of Nursery School Children, Dorothy Ann Miller
The Effect Of An Extended Music Curriculum On The Behavior Of Nursery School Children, Dorothy Ann Miller
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The free play behavior of two of the Utah State University nursery school groups was observed and recorded according to the time sampling instrument devised to assess the musical activity of children. Twelve group music experiences, in addition to those of the regular curriculum, were presented to the experimental group while the control group received two such experiences.
Sex was found not to be a significant factor in the amount of musical activity; however, girls were slightly more active rhythmically than the boys. The children between 3 years 10 months and 4 years 4 months were the most active musically …

Control Of Behavior Through Reinforcement Menus, Gary Lyndle Holt
Control Of Behavior Through Reinforcement Menus, Gary Lyndle Holt
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Reinforcement menus were used to change response probabilities while maintaining control over two ''trainable," female, mentally retarded children.
An empirically determined reinforcement menu representing high probability behaviors, five for S1 and four for S2, was used in a contingency management system. Instructions were given concerning the contingencies for obtaining reinforcement. Subjects were allowed the opportunity to engage in a high probability behavior only after successful completion of fixed units of reading or arithmetic tasks. After stable performance was established, four additional menus were prepared to approximate in increasing degree, low probability behavior. Measurements were taken of task …

A Comparison Of Intellectually Normal Children, Mentally Retarded Adolescents, And Mentally Retarded Adults On A Three Dimensional Concept Formation Sorting Task, James C. Kamprud
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purposes of this study were: (1) to compare nine groups of subjects composed of intellectually normal children, mentally retarded adolescents, and mentally retarded adults on a three dimensional concept formation task; (2) to determine the effects of discrimination training on the sortings of the nine groups on the experimental task.
The 207 subjects of this study were divided into nine groups. Seven of the groups, consisting of high average and low average grade 3, superior high average, and low average grade 6, and high and low adolescent retardates were chosen on the bases of school grade level (3, 6, …
Relationship Between Self-Concept Discrepancies And The Expression Of Need Achievement In Children, Ian Griggs
Relationship Between Self-Concept Discrepancies And The Expression Of Need Achievement In Children, Ian Griggs
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that a significant relationship exists between self-concept discrepancies and expressed need for achievement.
A self-concept discrepancy score was obtained and a low and high discrepancy group was isolated.
Expressed need for achievement was measured by the use of the Thematic Apperception Test and scored according to the Atkinson method.
Mean comparisons of need achievement scores of subjects whose discrepancies between actual and ideal self-concept were in the upper or lower one-third of the distribution were found not to be significant at the 5 percent level of confidence.
Comparison Of Mosaic Responses Of Disadvantaged And Advantaged Preschool Children, Renée Ostler
Comparison Of Mosaic Responses Of Disadvantaged And Advantaged Preschool Children, Renée Ostler
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Developmental age differences were studied between a group of Head Start children and a group of preschool children attending the Utah State University Child Development Laboratory. The Lowenfeld Mosaic Test was used to make distinctions between the child whose developmental age was below his age in years. The results were compared to the four-year and five-year chronological age level of the Armes and Ilg scoring criteria.
Although behavior in response to the Mosaic test developed in the same way for both the disadvantaged children and the advantaged children, the products or Mosaic designs of the disadvantaged children were less mature …

The Content Of Preschool Children's Original Stories, Danae Elaine Dana
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The early years of childhood are characterized by new ideas; experimentation; the building of relationships; fears, both real and imagined; and play, through which the child tries to assemble these experiences into a meaningful whole. The early years are an exciting, complex and vibrant time of learning while the child grows in his understanding of himself and the world around him.
A Program For Hospitalized Children, Leslie Joan Bishop
A Program For Hospitalized Children, Leslie Joan Bishop
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
When children are hospitalized they are exposed to an unfamiliar and frequently forboding world of an efficiently run institution. They cannot, as adults do, afford to interrupt (Plant, 1962) their normal way of living and exclude the relationships, play and learning that contribute to their overall growth.
There is a general tendency for children to be treated much in the same manner that adults are when they are confined in a hospital situation. The adult (Chapman, 1956) is prepared to make this temporary adjustment because he is aware, to some extent, of the need for hospitalization and the positive consequence …

Children's Relationships With Peers, Carla Nelson
Children's Relationships With Peers, Carla Nelson
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A child's family is the center of his world during infancy and extending into the preschool years. As a child nears school age and in succeeding years, he reaches out into the world beyond his home environment. He comes in contact with the world of other people who arc not included in his family circle. In this new world of peers, the child finds something he does not find at home. Here are other individuals like himself who have many things in common, such as age, appearance, interests, and desires. We find in this peer culture, children who can better …

Differences In Frustration Reactions Of Nursery School Children, Sharon Marshall
Differences In Frustration Reactions Of Nursery School Children, Sharon Marshall
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The study of frustration has been of interest to various people including psychiatrists, psychologists, and educators for a number of years. These people have been interested in frustration because the complexity of our modern life has involved so many frustrating experiences. Frustration has been defined by Dollard (8, p. 7) as "an interference with the occurrence of an instigated goal response at its proper time." Ruch (21, p. 151) defined frustration as "the denial or thwarting by some obstacle which lies between a need and its goal." These two definitions are in essence identical. The average person has many obstacles …
An Analysis Of The Differential Responses Of A Group Of Nursery School Children To A Variety Of Musical Presentations, Eva Louise Godfrey
An Analysis Of The Differential Responses Of A Group Of Nursery School Children To A Variety Of Musical Presentations, Eva Louise Godfrey
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The problem of what kinds of music provide the most meaning for the young child has long been a concern of the author. It arises not only out of close experience with young children, but also out of a concern for the responsibility of providing them with meaningful aesthetic experiences. From this background of experience the problem is not purely an academic one. Its first and ultimate concern is an experiential one. Because it arises out of this particular background, the analysis of the problem and its study is less concerned with academic and scientific validity than might otherwise have …
Differential Responses Of Student Teachers To Children In Nursery School, Carroll Carman Lambert
Differential Responses Of Student Teachers To Children In Nursery School, Carroll Carman Lambert
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
For some time the writer has observed the keen, creative sensitivity with which children respond to their world. She has also observed, however, that many teachers and parents seem to be quite unaware of this sensitivity. An illustration of this lack of awareness is the following experience: One day a nursery school teacher had a painful headache; in fact, it was suggested that she go home for the remainder of the day. Instead of going home, however, she decided to stay, thinking that her headache would soon abate. The teacher was sitting on a chair observing the children, unaware that …

A Study Of The San Joaquin County Schools' Education Program For Parents Of Severely Mentally Retarded Children, Louis William Cencirulo
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
In 1951, Education Code section 6903 was passed by the California State Legislature making it permissive for school departments to organize and conduct educational and training programs for severely mentally retarded children. In 1953 the first such program was established by the office of the San Joaquin County Superintendent of Schools. SInce that date, three additional programs have been added to serve these children in rural areas of the aforementioned county.

An Analysis Of The Physical Education Programs Of The 165 California Secondary Schools, Collie Jean Kidwell
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
At the present time there are many books written on the field of physical education which have set standards of methods, techniques, and procedures used in the teaching of physical education. There will also be found in these books a set pattern of physical education activities which should be taught in our schools. Due to the change in trends, partly brought about by the last war, it will be found that there has been a modification of the methods, techniques and procedures now being used.
The problem of the study deals with the trends in boys' physical education programs to …

Children And The Church's Worship, George Hoyer
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The burden of the thesis will be to ask how these Christians who are not adults can be helped to receive the grace of the Word of God; how they can be helped to respond to Him in worshiping words that will be a prelude to a worshiping life; and how they can learn to recognize their worshiping brethren in the family of God; ultimately how they can learn to do this applying of the Word from Sacrament and Scripture, this replying of worship and, this supplying of edification in the Church's corporate worship and in the Church's Eucharistic service.

The Responsibility Of The Church To Offer Guidance To Parents With Regard To The Personality Development Of The Child, Edgar P. Senne
Master of Divinity Thesis
It is from such evidence and from such thinking that the desire to study the problem arises. Where do parents fail? What kind of help would assist them in doing a better job? Is the problem in any way a concern or a responsibility of the Church? If so, how can this responsibility be carried out? These are some of the questions which the study undertakes to answer.

Historical Evidence For Infant Baptism, John D. Frey
Historical Evidence For Infant Baptism, John D. Frey
Bachelor of Divinity
Shortly before He ascended into heaven, Jesus gave this command: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. The Book of Acts presents this command in action. “So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls” But nowhere in Scripture do we find the specific command, "Baptize infants.” Nor do we find a statement which specifically says that infants were baptized. This has caused many people to wonder about infants. Are they also to …

Differences In Frustration Reactions Of A Group Of Preschool Children, Lorraine Storey
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
In recent years, the concept of frustration has been central in both mental hygiene and social psychology. This is rightfully so. Frustration has been defined as any kind of thwarting or blocking of the motive (4, 7, 14). Any person involved in modern day living is confronted with many types of situations which do actually block or thwart his wishes or drives. A person may be blocked because of conditions existing in the environment, because of personal inadequacies, and because of conflicting drives. Since a person is forced to face so many sources of frustration, the method that he chooses …

The Design And Execution Of A Mural, Patricia Finley
Honors Papers
This paper is the description of the artist's process in planning, designing, and execution of a mural for the Boys' and Girls' Room in the Oberlin Public Library. The whole purpose of this paper is that of viewing the creative process as precisely as possible. However, it may be wise to make a few remarks which touch upon the more general nature of the mental and emotional process of creativity to the extent that I have been able to generalize from my experience in plastic organization.
