A Comparison Of The Revised Stanford-Binet Scale And The Terman-Mcnemar Test Of Mental Ability With Respect To The Prediction Of Scholastic Achievement, Sanford L. Mcdonald
Student Work
Although more than fifty years have passed since the Frenchmen Alfred Binet and Theophile Simon published the first effective intelligence test, psychological testing has evolved through many stages since that time. There are many different types of psychological tests now, with numerous methods of interpretation. However, through all of this evolution the basic purpose of the tests has remained the same— to measure Individual differences. Just as Binet and Simon's first intelligence test ". . . succeeded in differentiating between children of various age and grade levels and made possible the prediction of the child's progress in school, so psychological …

Years of service in the Air Force has served to reveal the need for an increased awareness of the high cost of training personnel. While many factors are involved in this problem, one particularly important facet is the type and quality of leadership, instruction and supervision which basic trainees are s u b jected to in their initial period of adjustment to military life. This inchoate period of adjustment in the Armed Services is a particularly sensitive one for the individual.

The Relationship Between Written Knowledge Of The Alphabet And Spelling Ability At The Fourth Grade Level, Dewey A. Schluter Jr.
Student Work
Profound differences in theory are never invented; they grow out of conflicting elements in a genuine problem. The problem of spelling is not new; it has existed since the first crude attempts at written communication. From the earliest symbol to the complex alphabets used in spelling today, the written word has been the method by which mankind has expressed himself and recorded his discoveries.

A Comparative Study In The Development Of The Sensori-Motor Intelligence According To Jean Piaget And Arnold Gesell, Henri R. Ouellet
Student Work
The discovery of a proper topic for a thesis, as well as the organization of the material to be studied may be born of either a sudden insight into a problem left unsolved until now or may grow from a long familiarity with scientific facts, with the result that relationships and comparisons gradually emerge and impose themselves as a distinct object of investigation.

In the remote past the reading of written and printed symbols had Its origin when man first began to use pictures and other characters to send messages and to record events. It occurred very slowly and took a lot of effort to change from picture writing to the use of letters In representing specific sounds.
The Egyptians as early as twenty-five centuries before Christ had analysed words and syllables into sounds and had developed a series of symbols to represent them. As a result of the ingenuity of the Semites these sounds and symbols were the beginning of the Phoenician …

Student Work
Since early civilization man has been faced with a multitude of situations demanding that he make a decision or choice on which a future course of action or behavior will be based. We might correctly assume that decisions made by people have never been of such simplicity that they created no tension.
Civilization has become progressively more complicated, and thus more alternatives are present from which a person must choose, In the earliest days of man’s existence, decisions were of the simplest and most fundamental nature, Man’s decisions and choices ware, for the most part, governed by a few biological …

A Study Of The Effect Of Chronological Age On Reading Performance In The First, Second And Third Grades, Gale L. Fuller
Student Work
Reading, a complex psycho-physiological, thought-provoking process if concerned with the communication of ideas from writer to reader (16). In reading, one is not having first-hand experience with human events. Rather, he is having vicarious experiences by interpreting the written record of another person’s experience. Many skills and abilities; i.e., word recognition, drawing of inferences, the organization of ideas, comprehension of meaning, and a host of others, are involved in the reading process. However, reading does not involve these skills individually. They operate together in meaningful situations to serve one’s purpose.
Learning to read is a central concern of all children, …

A Study Of The Relationship Between Visual Reversal Tendency And Reading Failure, Claramary Smith
Student Work
In clinics and hospitals, in schools and other places where children are observed and rested, it has been a matter of observation for a long time that many young children see printed symbols in reverse.
Some clinicians have felt that this visual reversal tendency might be a definite deterrent in terms of reading difficulty.
Since records were available, it was decided that a statistical study could be undertaken in order to test this hypothesis.
A Study Of Personality And Interest Traits Of Successful And Unsuccessful Group Work Leaders Using Six Standardized Tests, Mary E. Flannigan
A Study Of Personality And Interest Traits Of Successful And Unsuccessful Group Work Leaders Using Six Standardized Tests, Mary E. Flannigan
Student Work
No recreational or leisure-time program can rise above the level of its leadership. No matter how fine the objectives of the Board of Directors and the Executive, if they are not matched by competence of those who actually provide leadership, they fail.
From the standpoint of objectives and policies, nothing so directly determines the value and outcome of a Social Group Work Agency as the leaders in program activities. It is the Group Leaders, whether paid or volunteer, within an agency that reduce to a minimum the gap between the possible and actual effectiveness of the program.

Correlations Between The Johnson Temperament Analysis And The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Based Upon 100 Male Counselees, F. Alec Phillips
Student Work
The field of personality is one of the most popular, challenging, important, and confused in present-day psychological studies.
During the psychology’s infancy, the study was neglected by the psychologists and left to the uncontrolled clinical methods of the psychiatrists and psychoanalysis. Finally, study in this field has been undertaken by psychologists possessing scientific method, but too often lacking the orientation to persons as such, which characterizes the clinically trained psychiatrists. It should, therefore, he no surprise to find chaotic conditions ruling the study of the psychology of personality.
