An Operational Investigation Into The Relationships Among Projection, Empathy, And Reality, Patricia Ainsworth

Psychology ETDs

There has long been an interest among psychologists regarding the inner processes of the personality, but it has been only In recent years that an effort has been made to define and delineate these processes experimentally. Early writers in the field have often spoken of these less easily observed aspects such as insight, self-perception, perception of others, projection, the self concept, empathy, realism, etc., but only In recent years have investigators attempted scientifically and experimentally to define these and to show the relationships among such intrinsic processes.

The Organization Of A Functional Library For The Mound City, Kansas, High School, John L. Carmichael

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

Many teachers encouraged the pupil to use the library solely for leisure reading or for some other information if, or sometimes after, lessons were done. Administration in many schools have not been educational leaders. They have stood by and have been unaffected by controversies over teaching methods and materials to be …

A Study Of The Educational Leave Program Of The Tennessee Department Of Public Welfare, Joseph Isaac Nicholson

Masters Theses

(From the Conclusions)

The administration of Public Assistance and child welfare services requires considerable skill, knowledge, and understanding. Public welfare agencies recognized from the beginning the need for trained personnel. Now and in the future it will be difficult to hire sufficient trained social workers without the stimulation of a program such as educational leave. Social work as a profession is young and the schools of social work are not producing enough trained persons to take care of replacements due to death, marriage, etc., and at the same time increase the number of trained persons available.

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.

The Relation Between Group Participation And Personality Adjustment Of High School Students In Piute And Kane Counties, Utah, John R. Christiansen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The emergence of modern concepts of personality and the study of processes involved in personality formation are relatively recent developments (14, p. 83). From these concepts and studies of personality has developed the theory that personality emerges out of the contact the individual has with his society and his culture. This theory does not discredit the importance of biological or hereditary background as an important condition or prerequisite for personality development, but it does hold that the social and cultural forces provide the stimulus and arranges the general patterns for personality formation.

The social and cultural forces operate in close …

Cultural Variations Of Child Rearing Practices Among The Mormons Of Brigham City, Utah, Nile D. Meservy

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Although it is evident that this relationship plays a great part in the socialization of the child, much remains to be understood concerning the underlying conditions within the family that affect his relationship.

It is the view of this study that the parent-child relationship varies in nature from family …
