Authoritarianism And Proposition 14, Herbert Henry Foster

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In November of 1964, California voters approved by a very substantial margin the legislative measure known as Proposition 14, a hotly contested constitutional amendment which abolished all then-existing Fair Housing Legislation and prohibited local levels of government from acting in such matters in the future. This legislation was sponsored by the California Real Estate Association and essentially was a response to a recently passed Fair Housing Law known as the Rumford Act, which prohibited discrimination in the sale and rental of housing and assigned enforcement responsibilities to the State Fair Employment Practices Commission.

An Examination Of The Phenomenon Of Preference For Bar Pressong Over Freeloading, Phyllis Thomson

Honors Projects

Since the discovery of the law of effect, psychologists have been investigating a number of the parameters of reinforcing stimuli. The law of effect states that a response is learned, or not learned, depending upon the events (effects) that follow it. To evaluate the aspects of reinforcing stimuli. typically an organism is deprived of food or water and an increase in the probability or speed of a response is noted when small amounts of food or water are made to follow a response. Using this type of paradigm, characteristics of reinforcing stimuli which have been investigated are number of reinforcers, …

Relationships Between Jungian Typology And Value-Orientation, Thomas Richard Funkhouser

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This study hypothesizes that there exists between a person's value orientation as measured by the Study of Values and his function-types as described by Jung. It is the E's assumption that there is some kind of correspondence between the value processes and the function-types because of their similar approaches. For example, the sensing function is identical with perception of stimuli being received through the sense organs while the aesthetic value seeks form and harmony in an experience. Each is concerned with an impression as it is perceived. The thinking function and the theoretical value are concerned with cognition, logical analysis …

Errorless Establishment Of A Right-Left Discrimination In Retardates, Judith Marie Leblanc

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

This study was concerned with the task of determining necessary steps for establishing an errorless method of discrimination training in a right-left problem. It was designed to establish a terminal motor response of the S placing the "correct" hand on a blank stimulus board in response to an auditory stimulus of "Left" or "Right." To achieve this terminal response in a group of institutionalized retardates, stimuli of a previously learned color discrimination (pink and blue) were presented immediately following the corresponding auditory stimulus of "Left" or "Right" during each of the initial discrimination trials. To preclude or greatly diminish errors …

The Role Of Stimulus Similarity In In [Sic] Children's Preferences For Novelty, Larry Fenson

Psychology ETDs

Berlyne (1960) has recently suggested that the degree of “novelty” possessed by a given stimulus is inversely related to three factors: (a) how often patterns that are similar enough to be relevant have been experienced before; (b) how similar they have been; and (c) how recently they have been experienced. Stated more simply, Berlyne is referring to the frequency, similarity, and recency of any stimulus.
