Language And Non-Linguistic Behavior: An Experimental Investigation, Howard S. Maclay
Anthropology ETDs
The purpose of the investigation is twofold: to test experimentally the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis that non-linguistic behavior is conditioned by the nature of the language spoken; and to provide information on the use of experimental methods in cross-cultural studies.

Factors Influencing The Operation Of Special Double-Number Dials, Ryoko Yafuso
Psychology ETDs
A concise definition of engineering psychology is: the study of human behavior in the man-machine relationship (3). In implementing this concept the engineering psychologist not only investigates the human factors involved in man-machine systems, but he also attempts to discover the best way to design a machine so that a human being can operate it most efficiently.

Psychology ETDs
This study is an attempt to distinguish personality factors which may influence persons in their preferences for a particular kind of music.
It is not the purpose of this study to investigate the personality of individuals who happen to prefer a special type of music. Instead, the study is focused on personality differences which may be found among three groups of people who have indicated a preference for three different types of music.
An Appraisal Of Techniques Employed In Occupational Wage Surveys For Communities, Henry Wilson Maglidt
An Appraisal Of Techniques Employed In Occupational Wage Surveys For Communities, Henry Wilson Maglidt
Economics ETDs
For some years the writer has noticed that studies of wage rates available for general use pertain to wage conditions by industry on a national or regional basis. Literature on the subject bears upon methods employed in studies on a wide scale, or on studies of large cities or important concentrated industrial centers. There appears to be a dearth of literature on the subject of conducting wage surveys on a community basis in the smaller cities and less populated areas. Therefore, in the Fall of 1951, the writer, in connection with graduate work and the University of New Mexico, undertook …
The Evolution Of The New Mexico Bureau Of Revenue, 1920-1955, Joseph Francis Palaia
The Evolution Of The New Mexico Bureau Of Revenue, 1920-1955, Joseph Francis Palaia
Political Science ETDs
The Bureau of Revenue of the State of New Mexico is one governmental division whose activities affect most of the people in the state, even to the child whose twenty-five cent purchase of candy or a toy calls for an additional fraction of a cent for sales tax. However, the organization, work, and effectiveness of the Bureau of Revenue are virtual mysteries to the majority of persons whose economic life it determines in some degree.
The New Mexico Bureau Of Revenue., Ralph Carlisle Smith
The New Mexico Bureau Of Revenue., Ralph Carlisle Smith
Political Science ETDs
Commissioner Corlett upon appointment in 1951 immediately undertook a program of streamlining the Bureau. About the same time, the New Mexico State Reorganization Committee, the so-called Little Hoover Commission, was established by the 1951 Legislature, and the staff of that committee undertook a simultaneous study of the Bureau. This thesis covers the New Mexico State Reorganization Committee staff study conducted by the author, during which study a number of recommendations were made for executive and legislative changes in the Bureau of Revenue, as well as the action taken during the ensuing period (to April, 1955), including the legislative actions in …
A Study Of Unionism In The Broadcasting And Television Industries, Noel Martin Daniel
A Study Of Unionism In The Broadcasting And Television Industries, Noel Martin Daniel
Economics ETDs
It is the purpose of the thesis on the basis of the evidence presented to demonstrate that technological development in the television industry resolves both the jurisdictional and unemployment problems. Rather than resorting to immediate objectives in their collective bargaining agreements with employers the unions should promote long-term programs consistent with technological change. In their historical patterns of collective bargaining the unions have not demonstrated this broad point of view. On the other hand management in the broadcasting-telecasting industry shares with labor this responsibility in meeting the problems of technological change. Too often management has been concerned with limiting the …

Occupational Mobility Among Used Automobile Salesmen In San Diego, California In 1954, Stuart David Johnson
Sociology ETDs
It was the purpose of this study (1) to gather information which would allow certain concepts of Industrial Sociology to be examined under research conditions as pertaining to social mobility in a relatively little known occupation; (2) to collect data which would establish an occupation hierarchy and indicate intra-occupational vertical and horizontal mobility among used automobile salesmen; and (3) to discover the relationship of occupational inheritance to the occupation of used automobile salesmen.
An Approach To The Study Of Non-Literate Law In Three North American Societies, Elizabeth C. Funk
An Approach To The Study Of Non-Literate Law In Three North American Societies, Elizabeth C. Funk
Anthropology ETDs
Attempts to clarify the problem of law among non-literate peoples has been largely one of isolating with accuracy its distinguishing characteristics. Non-literate law is not written down or codified. Often, it is not sustained by any formal police force, and courts are lacking. Legislation, in the proper sense of the term, may be an attribute of developed legal systems only

The Influence Of Max Weber And Emile Durkheim On Current American Sociology, Medard Mitchell
The Influence Of Max Weber And Emile Durkheim On Current American Sociology, Medard Mitchell
Sociology ETDs
The problem involved in this study is to determine as precisely as possible, through the use of a systematic method, (1) the nature and the influence of [Max] Weber and [Emile] Durkheim on American sociology; (2) the fields of American sociology that have been influenced by these men; (3) and finally, if there is an existent trend toward the greater use and concepts of these two men by American sociologists in recent years.
This work aims at a quantitative definition of the form and nature the influence of Weber and Durkheim takes in American Sociology rather than a qualitative evaluation …
An Experimental Investigation Of Lashley And Wade's "The Pavlovian Theory Of Generalization", Allen B. Madans
An Experimental Investigation Of Lashley And Wade's "The Pavlovian Theory Of Generalization", Allen B. Madans
Psychology ETDs
In the following paper, the term "stimulus generalization" will appear many times. As a matter of convenience it will be abbreviated to "SG".
The best type of definition to give for SG is an operational one. Although the operational definition loses its generality, it gains by providing at least one concrete illustration of the phenomenon with which this paper deals. The following illustration is taken from the experimental literature in most part, and it is the type of illustration that is recognized both by those for and those against SG as demonstrating the phenomenon of SG...Despite the great amount of …

A Study Of The Relationship Between Musical Preference And The Fourteen Factors Of The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, George W. Fenley
Psychology ETDs
The purpose of this study was to seek some possible relationships between personality characteristics and musical sophistication. Studies in this area are for the most part speculative, and those few which have been published indicate rather inconclusive findings.
