Three years ago, when the writer first entered the Cedar Falls Junior High School as a classroom teacher, students who did not conform to school regulations were assigned to detention during the period following the regular school day.

Christian Worship: A Psychological Study, Jonas M. Berkey

Graduate Thesis Collection

Both Psychology and Christianity are concerned with the well-being or wholeness of the human person. Since God is no respecter of persons, then all men are alike in their basic nature. Psychology bears out this conclusion. Therefore, upon the foundation of this basic agreement psychology may be used effectively in helping to establish a fundamental agreement for the effective worship of Christian men. The scope of this treatment will consider only three of the basic acts of Christian worship - prayer, baptism and the Lord's Supper.

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, …

The Mosaic Test As A Diagnostic Indicator Of Schizophrenia, Irvin Arthur Hansen Jr.

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Within the past decade the field of clinical psychology has become increasingly concerned with projective tests as a means of facilitating the understanding of the dynamic makeup of the individual personality. The enthusiasm over these techniques has resulted in the development of a barrage of projective techniques, purporting to uncover dynamics and "complexes" to a sometimes fantastic and often dubious extent. The subjective nature of these tests appears to render them most difficult to quantify and validate experimentally. Although the Mosaic test dates its origin twenty-five years back, there have been few, if any, successful validation studies. Those that have …

The Relative Stimulus Value Of Voices And Faces As Measured By The Method Of Recognition, William Hill Doub

Master's Theses

When Ebbinghaus published the results of his experimental investigations of memory in 1885 his introductory chapter pointed out the "bare knowledge of the existence of memory and its effects." Historically in studies of memory our information came in large measure from the observation of the extreme and especially striking cases.The difficulties of scientific studies and the indefinite unspecialised knowledge of the nature of memory vas almost prohibitive in undertaking new investigations.

The Communication Of Supervisory Functions And Its Relationship To Employee Attitude, Betty Jane Neitzel

Wayne State University Theses

The history of industrial and personnel psychology contains a large amount of literature of the investigations made of personal traits and characteristics, individual differences, and of the psychological tests which measure these factors. More recently personnel and industrial psychologists have become interested in other phases of research. The employee in industry has increasingly become the focal point in investigations and discussions and at present personnel interrelationships and the dynamics of the working situations are attracting the attention of a number of psychologists. This shift in interest has brought with it new emphasis in the literature.
