Equal Access To Justice : The Challenge And The Opportunity, Richard Lyins Korink
Equal Access To Justice : The Challenge And The Opportunity, Richard Lyins Korink
Master's Theses
The power to make it impossible for any man, woman or child to be denied the equal protection of the laws, because he or she is poor is an essential part of the administration of justice in a democracy. Simply by definition the indigent defendant is destitute of material possessions, but he often will also be lacking in intelligence in education, in the rudimentary social graces and in the common qualities of good behavior. Though he may be very personable and likeable, or occasionally well-educated, much more often than not, it is safe to say that the law officer who …
A Study Of The Proposed Richmond Coliseum, Coleman Bennett Yeatts Jr.
A Study Of The Proposed Richmond Coliseum, Coleman Bennett Yeatts Jr.
Master's Theses
Nearly seven years ago, representatives of Richmond’s leading cultural groups - such as Ballet Impromptu, The Children’s Theater and others - appeared before City Council to ask for assistance in the construction of a theater for the performing arts. This recent campaign to improve cultural facilities has been converted into a move to make Richmond one of the South's leading basketball cities as well as a major meeting place for large conventions. This move is to be the building of one of, if not, the finest Coliseums in the country.
The Use Of Facts And Verbal, Affect, And Content Clues In Clinical Judgements From Interviews, Nicholas Charles Anthony
The Use Of Facts And Verbal, Affect, And Content Clues In Clinical Judgements From Interviews, Nicholas Charles Anthony
Master's Theses
The clinical psychologist, experienced social worker, psychiatrist, and others, whose professions involve dealing with people who are experiencing life-problems, are frequently called upon to make judgements about these people. The basis of these judgements are almost always partially formed from interviews with the people they they must judge. The interviewers form their judgements from different cues that the clients communicate to them during these interviews. The cues employed to form these judgements that have thus far been differentiated and investigated are visual, verbal, and content cues. This study is concerned with the latter two.

Background Similarity-Dissimilarity, Interpersonal Attraction And Change In Confidence, Lewis J. Levine
Master's Theses
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of background similarity-dissimilarity on interpersonal attraction and on changing one's confidence in his own judgment. The hypotheses were as follows:
1. A stranger with a similar background to that of the S will be better liked (i.e., more attractive) than a dissimilar stranger.
2. Agreement by another person (regard less of whether he is similar or dissimilar in background) will in crease one's certainty of judgment about a particular issue.
3. Disagreement by another person (regardless of whether he is a similar or dissimilar otheii will decrease one' a certainty …

The Retention Of Tactile Stimulation With Young And Elderly Adults, Sally Baker Canestrari
Master's Theses
The purpose of this study is to test the retention of sensory experience in the modality of light-touch with both young and elderly subjects. Based on previous literature, it is expected that young Ss will be able to maintain more accurately the light-touch impression for a long delay period (two weeks) than older persons. The test for retention or the impression will be made immediately (two minutes) following the stimulation for one-half the Ss, and after two week a for the remaining Ss.

Under God? : A Study Of Freedom Of Religion, The Founding Fathers, The Supreme Court, And The Schools, Alice Sofis Evangelides
Master's Theses
The first part of my study concerns the meaning of "religious freedom" as revealed through the fundamental laws of the Constitutional period. In the course of my research, I have compiled and noted every mention of religion in the State Constitutions and Bills of Rights drafted between 1776 and 1791. I have read the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation and the Northwest Ordinance; the Debates in the Constitutional Convention, the State Ratifying Conventions, and the First Congress, and extracted every significant mention of religion. I have not looked behind the words to the actual prac tice, but rather to …

Classically Conditioned Licking And Acquired Orienting As A Function Of Qualitatively Different Ucs Values : Acquisition, Shifting And Extinction, Jerry Weeks Rudy
Master's Theses
The purpose of the present study was twofold: (A) to study classically conditioned licking in rats as a function of a qualitative UCS difference, defined as 15% sucrose concentration and 0% concentration (plain tap water); (B) to study acquired orienting as a function of these UCS values. Several aspects of conditioned performance were investigated: (1) the effect of UCS intensity on level of responding during acquisition; (2) the effect of UCS intensity on rate of approach to terminal level of responding; (3) a possible learning performance distinction in appetitive classical conditioning; (4) rate of extinction as a function of the …
