Assessment Of Parental Attitudes Toward Mental Retardation In Relation To The Mentally Retarded Child's Adjustment In School, June S. Church Jan 1969

Assessment Of Parental Attitudes Toward Mental Retardation In Relation To The Mentally Retarded Child's Adjustment In School, June S. Church

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

A review of developmental psychology reflects vigorous research concerning the relationships between parental behavior and attitudes and child personality and behavior.The research findings are generally consistent in demonstrating that the child's familial experiences are prime determinates of his personality. Within this context, there is mounting evidence of the pervasive and dramatic effects of early experience on later development. The significance of the attitudes and conceptions. which parents exhibit toward their children is aptly illustrated by Schulman, Shoemaker and MQelis (1962). In a study of conduct problem children and non-conduct problem children, they found that the parents of conduct problem children …

The Image Of Limited Good In Ojibway Society, Jeffrey C. Moore Jan 1969

The Image Of Limited Good In Ojibway Society, Jeffrey C. Moore

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

This has been the case historically and remains true today. The basic reason for the inability to organize is on orientation to life which Foster has described in his theory of the Image of Limited Good, and which was observed on a Minnesota reservation.

The Effects Of Ego-Involvement And Fear Appeals Upon Task Performance, Stephen Steinmetz Jan 1969

The Effects Of Ego-Involvement And Fear Appeals Upon Task Performance, Stephen Steinmetz

Masters Theses

Researchers and scholars in the fear appeal area have been unable to determine what factor or factors make fear appeals effective. Two studies, Hewgill and Miller (1965) and Powell (1965), suggest that the personal involvement of the audience with who or what is threatened is the factor which causes fear appeals to be effective. If ego-involvement is the personal involvement factor indicated by these studies, then it would appear to be the key to fear appeal effectiveness. Therefore, the present investigation was designed to experimentally compare the effects of ego-involvement and fear appeals upon task performance.

Sixty nine undergraduates enrolled …

Concept Identification As A Function Of Three Semantic Dimensions, Richard Eugene Edwards

All Master's Theses

It is the purpose of the present study to determine the differential effects of the three primary semantic dimensions on the ability of Ss to solve a concept identification problem. It was hypothesized that the performance level, as measured by a criterion of learning ten successive responses containing no more than one error, time to completion, and the total number of errors, will be higher for Ss working on the evaluative dimension than for Ss working on the potency or activity dimensions. Two additional hypotheses were formulated in an attempt to answer the following questions: 1) Is the ability to …

Play Preparation For The Adeno-Tonsillectomy Patient, Carol Brown, Harriet Hecker

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Hospitalization and surgery have been recognized as being psychologically stressful for the majority of children. Hospital personnel have attempted to reduce some of the unnecessary psychological stress incurred by children by the use of many different methods. This study attempted to evaluate the use of preoperative play preparation sessions for minimizing this stress. The method was experimental with one variable. The subjects were forty-one children aged three and one-half to seven and one-half who had adeno-tonsillectomies. Twenty-one children comprising Group E were involved in a play session by the researchers. Twenty children were not prepared in this way. The tools …
