A Study Of The Effect Of Chronological Age On Reading Performance In The First, Second And Third Grades, Gale L. Fuller
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, …
Discrimination Of Manics And Depressives By The Projective Technique, Handwriting Analysis, Roscoe Sease Aull
Discrimination Of Manics And Depressives By The Projective Technique, Handwriting Analysis, Roscoe Sease Aull
Master's Theses
Graphology ia one of the oldest of psychological methods, but despite its long history it has not yet been established as an exact scientific technique. This existing situation is not so unique if we stop to consider that most other methods of personality analysis are not without flaws either. Perhaps when personality itself is better understood and consistently defined, graphology will be able to make more rapid advances. Conflict in the development of consistent graphological techniques is a main cause also in the struggle for scientific acceptance. Two major problems seem to face the graphologists today. The first is the …

An Investigation Of Certain Personality Factors Of Two Groups Seperated On The Basis Of A Color Association Test, Paul Raymond Binner
An Investigation Of Certain Personality Factors Of Two Groups Seperated On The Basis Of A Color Association Test, Paul Raymond Binner
Psychology ETDs
It would be of interest to explore, in greater detail, further possible differences between these two groups, the "high orange" and "low orange." Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to seek possible differences between the two groups with respect to certain more specific personality variables. The importance of such a study, in addition to shedding light upon the characteristics of groups separated by means of the color association test, is also seen in the fact that it might provide information bearing upon the understanding, prediction and control of behavior-problem cases.

The Supervision Of The Guidance Program In A Small High School, John H. Clark
All Graduate Projects
The small high school has some problems to overcome in order to do an effective job in the guidance of its young people. It is difficult for the staff to find time for guidance activities in the busy schedule of today's curriculum. Released time is very necessary if effective counseling is to be done.
Another problan to be faced is the lack of trained personnel to head the guidance program. The high school principal must find a capable person or else head the program himself.
A third problem faced by the small high school is that of maintaining adequate records …
Perseverative Phenomena And Shift Ability, Edward Ernest Ware
Perseverative Phenomena And Shift Ability, Edward Ernest Ware
Master's Theses
Numerous studies relating adjustment to perseveration are given in the first chapter. The present study investigated this relationship in order to ascertain whether those high in shift ability will make better social than emotional adjustments and those law in shirt ability will be better adjusted emotionally than socially. The logic for the above hypothesis has been that the ability to change, flexibility, is helpful in dealing with people and social situations, but may create an instability within the individual. Also investigated in this research were the relationship between intelligence, and shift ability, conservatism and adjustment, and also the relationship between …

An Investigation Of Relationship Between Personality Adjustment And Disparity Of Verbal And Performance Intelligence, Herman Edward Frick
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The problem of the thesis was as follows: On a selected group of children, to what extent are differences between scores of verbal and performance intelligence tests useful as group and individual measures of adjustment? Adjustment was measured by A Test of Personality Adjustment by Carl Rogers. Verbal and performance intelligence were measured by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. Differences between scores of verbal and performance tests were measured by a specified criterion, disparity. The problem, findings, and interpretations were limited to these criteria.

Types Of Behavior During Labor And Delivery And Scores On The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, Bette Gloria Winthers
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Purpose of the Study
The thesis of this study is that personality characteristics can be shown as factors in the variation of behavior which occurs during labor and childbirth. It is felt that if personality traits can be measured by a standard device they will correlate with various types of behavior expressed during labor. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory is one instrument which tests all of the more important phases of personality. This test was chosen as the device to be used in this study to determine the personality traits of the women involved. Therefore, the purpose of this study …
