In Being, Richard Hal Rosen

Doctoral Dissertations

Measurement of color, noun position, and verb proximity will be assessed in connection with subject performance on given …

The socio-economic class of each subject was determined by the McGuire-White Social Class Index (1955). A percentage and …
