The Difference Between The Number Of Correct Responses Of Three Intellectually Defined Groups On The Digit Symbol Subtest Of The Wais, Brian Lange
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
This study was a preliminary endeavor concerned with an investigation into whether young adults of defined age ranges and defined intellectual levels obtain significantly different scores on the Digit Symbol sub-test of the WAIS.
With the confidence level set at .05, the null hypothesis that there was no significant difference between the Digit Symbol sub-test scores of the retarded, normal, and superior groups was tested. The term young adults was used to describe subjects between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. The intellectual level defined as retarded, included Intelligence Quotient scores between 50 and 70; the normal level had Intelligence …

The Use Of Defensiveness As A Covariate Of Self-Report In The Assessment Of Self-Concept Among Navajo Adolescents, Bruce Leon Arneklev
The Use Of Defensiveness As A Covariate Of Self-Report In The Assessment Of Self-Concept Among Navajo Adolescents, Bruce Leon Arneklev
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The study investigated the relationship between defensiveness scores and self-report scores as they interrelate in the assessment of self-concept and its change. Data were analyzed to determine if self-report scores adjusted by regression for defensiveness would be more congruent with a criterion measure than unadjusted scores.
A secondary problem was to evaluate the extent to which the self criticism scale on the Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS) and the self-report vs. objective rating discrepancy method would identify the same individuals as defensive.
Samples were drawn from a population of adolescent Navajo boarding school students. A treatment sample participated in an …
Ninety Day Follow-Up Of A Boy To Determine The Effects Of The Use Of Operant Techniques In The Classroom, Kim Gene Kay
Ninety Day Follow-Up Of A Boy To Determine The Effects Of The Use Of Operant Techniques In The Classroom, Kim Gene Kay
All Master's Theses
The present study was undertaken in part to determine the effectiveness of operant conditioning techniques when applied to a virtually ignored child in a regular classroom. However, the main emphasis of the study was on the maintenance of the modified (desirable) behavior in the classroom after the period of summer vacation.
Role Of Goal Assessment In Evaluating The Counseling Relationship, Dennis R. Whitney
Role Of Goal Assessment In Evaluating The Counseling Relationship, Dennis R. Whitney
All Master's Theses
The primary function of diagnosis in counseling is to enable the counselor to make predictions about behavior from which he in turn constructs his plans for handling the case (Callis, 1965). The writer assumed that all counselors engage in the process of diagnosis whether they do it purposefully and systematically, or implicitly, perhaps with very little awareness. If all counselors engage in diagnosis, then the accuracy of the counselor's predictions, based upon his evaluation of the client's goals is an important determinant in the way he handles the case and presumably affects the outcome of the counseling process. It seems, …
Acceptance Of Negroes By White College Students As A Function Of College-Class Standing, Religious Conviction, And Race Of Experimenter, Harry James Hawks
Acceptance Of Negroes By White College Students As A Function Of College-Class Standing, Religious Conviction, And Race Of Experimenter, Harry James Hawks
All Master's Theses
The present study essentially had a threefold purpose: to determine what effect the amount of education, or more specifically the year in college, has on the tolerance of white students to Negroes; what effect the strength of religious conviction has on these attitudes; and what effect the race of the experimenter has on student response.
Reality Therapy In The Classroom, Richard Manning Hawes
Reality Therapy In The Classroom, Richard Manning Hawes
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The primary purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a Schools Without Failures program on the culturally deprived Black child's belief of internal-external control or the child's belief in self-responsibility versus powerlessness.
A Study Of Early Reasoning Skills In The Trainable Mentally Retarded : As Related To Piaget's Seriation Theory, Robert William Ginther
A Study Of Early Reasoning Skills In The Trainable Mentally Retarded : As Related To Piaget's Seriation Theory, Robert William Ginther
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
In terms of Piaget's theory of cognitive development and the relationship he attributes between reasoning and the development of classification and seriation skills, the following questions arise: can early reasoning ability be enhanced through training? If IQ tests are accepted as measures of intellectual function, do they then contain a significant number of seriation type questions? If so, will the seriation test be an accepted measure of intellectual function?
General Functions And Specific Activities Of The Elementary School Couselor As Perceived By Principals, Teachers, And Counselors In The Highline Public Schools, Seattle, Washington, Gary Winfield Sherman
General Functions And Specific Activities Of The Elementary School Couselor As Perceived By Principals, Teachers, And Counselors In The Highline Public Schools, Seattle, Washington, Gary Winfield Sherman
All Master's Theses
It was the purpose of this study to (1) compare elementary counselor's, principal's, and teacher's perceptions of the specific activities of the elementary school counselor; and (2) to compare the importance of eight general elementary counselor functions as ranked by the same three groups. Data for these comparisons were compiled through a questionnaire.
Duty Performance Of Vocational Guidance Counselors, Richard K. Swanson
Duty Performance Of Vocational Guidance Counselors, Richard K. Swanson
All Master's Theses
It appeared to the author from reviewing the proposed Washington State Standards that perhaps the "quality" and "guidance functions" recommended by the Panel and adopted by the Vocational Education Act, to be available to students, were not being met by the counselors qualifying under the variety of requirements available to Washington State counselors. More specifically, it appeared that counselors being certified under a particular set of requirements would tend to perform a particular stage of counseling more successfully due to the experiences required for certification. The problem as viewed by the author is that the variety of criteria available for …
The Effects Of Intradimensional Variability On Conceptual Rule Problems, Kay C. Vodarski
The Effects Of Intradimensional Variability On Conceptual Rule Problems, Kay C. Vodarski
All Master's Theses
Conceptual ability, which is acquired through a learning process, is of interest to the behavioral scientist. Investigation of task and subject related variables in concept learning should lead to a better understanding of the cognitive processes. Moreover, such knowledge would have implications for educators in their methods of instruction even though results from the laboratory sometimes appear quite remote in their practical application to classroom behavior. The present study was concerned only with the rule learning aspects of conceptual behavior.

Use Of The Pals Test To Differentiate Between High Achieving And Low Achieving Fifth Gradestudents: A Validity Study, Mickey H. Parson
Use Of The Pals Test To Differentiate Between High Achieving And Low Achieving Fifth Gradestudents: A Validity Study, Mickey H. Parson
All Master's Theses
The purpose of this investigation was to determine if the PALS Tests (Williams, 1958, 1961, 1964) would significantly differentiate between low achieving and hie;h achieving 5th-grade students. The basic design was the same basic design as used by Williams (1961), except that high achieving and low achieving students were used instead of acting-out and normal children. It was intended that this research supplement existing data concerning validity of the PALS Tests. The test author (Williams 1958, 1961, 1964) seems to be the only person who has conducted research regarding the PALS.
Teaching The Disadvantaged, Lynda Bearden
Teaching The Disadvantaged, Lynda Bearden
Honors Theses
Ideally, the early intellectual development of the child should take place in the home. If this training cannot be supplied adequately in the home and by the parents, then the school is the logical social agency to do it.
The size of the family, the concern of the parents with the basic necessities of life, the low level of education of the parents, the frequent absence of a male parent, and the lack of a great deal of interaction between children and adults all conspire to reduce the stimulation, language development, and intellectual development of disadvantaged children. These are handicaps …
