Conflict Theory And Segregation Academies: Application And Refinement Of Dahrendorf's Theory., Jerry Douglas Himelstein
Conflict Theory And Segregation Academies: Application And Refinement Of Dahrendorf's Theory., Jerry Douglas Himelstein
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study is an exploratory case study which applies and refines Ralf Dahrendorf's theoretical work in an effort to understand the social organization of segregation academies. One location is studied intensively through guided interviews with a variety of subjects who had some role in one of four local private schools or some relationship to them. School documents and other recorded data are also used to trace the development of these schools. Variables suggested by Dahrendorf and by Nevin and Bills are explored and further developed. Enrollment figures are used in a state-wide analysis of the effect of potential black enrollment …

Cross-Validation Of The Adolescent Behavioral Classification Project Instrument: A Factor Analytic Study., Katherine M. Krefft
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The Adolescent Behavioral Classification Project is one aspect of the larger Behavioral Classification Project, a long-term project designed to develop a behaviorally-based taxonomy of emotional disorders. The Adolescent Behavioral Classification Project (ABCP) instrument is a comprehensive list of 518 behavioral items and 3 demographic variables that cover the range of emotional problems of youth 13 to 18 years of age. This research concerns the cross-validation of the ABCP instrument on a sample of clinic and nonclinic youngsters. Results from a total of 810 questionnaires, 300 from subjects seen in clinics and 510 from nonclinic subjects, were submitted to a principal …
Stylistic Differences Between Preadolescents And Adolescents In The Expression Of Effectance Motivation., Randell Leon Elkins Jr
Stylistic Differences Between Preadolescents And Adolescents In The Expression Of Effectance Motivation., Randell Leon Elkins Jr
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Thirty-six preadolescents and 36 adolescents were given 12 minutes to explore the game possibilities in a TV game apparatus. Two instructional sets included a free play set and an instructional set to master the games. Video tape analysis of the exploratory behavior revealed some differences attributable to cognitive differences between the age groups and also to mastery set differences. The younger group, consistent with Piaget's model, was demonstrated to be less able to isolate and test hypotheses and was more rigid in changing hypotheses. This resulted in a more rapid mastery rate seen in the adolescent group. The instructional set …
Para-Proxemic Attributions: An Investigation Into The Relationship Between Close-Up And Extreme Close-Up Camera Shots And Audience Response., David Mitchell Klein
Para-Proxemic Attributions: An Investigation Into The Relationship Between Close-Up And Extreme Close-Up Camera Shots And Audience Response., David Mitchell Klein
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences in para-proxemic attributions (effectations based upon the relative distance of a media source) to the extreme close-up as opposed to the close-up camera shots. Differences in audience response by sex of subject were found. Two stimuli were simultaneously videotaped of a man making an informative speech. The first tape was composed of establishing shots and extreme close-up shots. The second tape was comprised of establishing shots and close-up shots. The establishing shots were constant in both tapes. In the first tape a cut from the establishing shot to …
Charismatic Communication And Faith Healers: A Critical Study Of Rhetorical Behavior., Todd Vernon Lewis
Charismatic Communication And Faith Healers: A Critical Study Of Rhetorical Behavior., Todd Vernon Lewis
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Faith healing evangelists attract devoted followers who perceive these religious leaders as possessors of charisma. Charisma is a concept that is often applied to any leader/communicator whose eloquence, persuasion, transcendence, and personal aura set him or her apart from the average person. In this dissertation charisma is operationally defined, linked to a process of communication, and applied to the rhetorical behavior of three prominent faith healing evangelists: Aimee Semple McPherson (1890-1944), A. A. Allen (1911-1970), and Kathryn Kuhlman (1907-1976). A survey of selected theories of charisma provides elements for a synergistic "charismatic-communication-influence-process-model." The newly formed model amalgamates charisma research from …
Exploration Of Generalization Effects Of Social Skills Training In Children., Catherine Alice Seiler
Exploration Of Generalization Effects Of Social Skills Training In Children., Catherine Alice Seiler
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The generalization effects of social skills training (consisting of instructions, feedback, behavior rehearsal, and modeling) were examined in a multiple baseline design across settings and across subjects. The five male and female subjects, ranging in age between 10 and 13 years, were referred for treatment by teachers and parents because of difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Response latency, ratio of eye-contact to speech duration, intonation, smiles, gestures, verbalizations in five content areas and overall social skills were the target behaviors selected for modification within the clinic setting. Teacher and parent ratings of interpersonal behaviors considered problematic for each subject and sociometric …

The Impact Of The Structural Parameters Of Age And Race Upon Residents' Evaluations Of Community., Gary Martin Stokley Sr
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The research reported in this dissertation deals directly with an individual's perception of his or her community and family circumstances. The major question explored deals with what structural factors influence individuals' perceptions. In order to examine this question, the study primarily employs structural parameters such as age, sex, race, community, etc. to note differences or similarities among subpopulations. Specifically, the study explores the differences or similarities between adults and adolescents in rural communities. The data includes both an adult and adolescent sample taken in three rural communities in South Louisiana. The racial composition of the communities includes black, Indian, and …
Perceiving The Causes Of Cigarette Smoking: A Study Of Children And Adolescents., Rebecca Marie Watson
Perceiving The Causes Of Cigarette Smoking: A Study Of Children And Adolescents., Rebecca Marie Watson
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Attribution theory (Heider, 1958; Jones and Davis, 1965; Jones and Nisbett, 1972; Bem, 1967) has been modified from its usual experimental setting to serve as a theoretical model for a survey of cigarette smoking behavior. The smoking behavior of "significant others" is analyzed as an important information source in the process of belief formation. The instrument for the study was a "Health Information Questionnaire" which was given to 3014 school children (grades 3-12) in Bogalusa, Louisiana, during the 1976-1977 school year. Frequencies and percentages of students' own smoking behavior and of students by the smoking behavior of "significant others" were …
Techniques Of Atomic Absorption: Direct Determination Of Cadmium In Biological Materials And Metal Speciation By Differential Atomization., Susan Deborah Weiss
Techniques Of Atomic Absorption: Direct Determination Of Cadmium In Biological Materials And Metal Speciation By Differential Atomization., Susan Deborah Weiss
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
A method was developed for the direct determination of cadmium in biological materials. Determination of metals in biological samples was made difficult by the low concentration, the complex matrix, and the small amount of sample generally available. Current methods for this type of analysis involve either a wet-ashing or a dry-ashing step to break down the organic matrix and concentrate the metals present. These procedures often cause positive and/or negative errors due to contamination of the sample or loss of the metal of interest. The described method avoided these sources of error by eliminating sample pretreatment steps. The method made …

The Role Of Self-Monitoring In Sales Performance., Robert B. Anderson
The Role Of Self-Monitoring In Sales Performance., Robert B. Anderson
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Three groups of salesman were administered Snyder's Self-Monitoring scale in an effort to determine the importance of SM to a salesman's performance. Previous literature has indicated that it is important to a salesman's success for him to possess, (1) effective communication skills, (2) the ability to create a climate of perceived similarity or trust, (3) the ability to accurately sense and interpret the prospect's affective or attitudinal responses, and (4) the ability to adapt oneself appropriately to a variety of situations and prospect responses. Moreover, the research on SM has indicated that self-monitoring individuals possess or should possess these attributes. …
The Effect Of Attribution Training And Visual Response Cues On Persistence Following Failure., Renee Favret
The Effect Of Attribution Training And Visual Response Cues On Persistence Following Failure., Renee Favret
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Achievement motivation and locus of control in black children attending a public school in an economically-depressed area of New Orleans, Louisiana were studied. Past research had found contradictory results regarding locus of control in students who are lacking in achievement motivation. Dweck (1975) suggested that these students were "learned helpless," i.e. they perceived their achievement outcomes to be due to external causes; that these same students could be trained to attribute outcomes to internal causes; and that this attribution training would lead to persistence following failure on achievement tasks. The present study investigated the locus of control of 130 fifth- …
The Unfleshed Eye: A Study Of Intellectual Theism In The Poetry And Criticism Of Yvor Winters., John Martin Finlay
The Unfleshed Eye: A Study Of Intellectual Theism In The Poetry And Criticism Of Yvor Winters., John Martin Finlay
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Yvor Winters' early poetry, from 1920 to 1928, was written in free-verse; the aesthetic principles governing it centered on the image "purified" of conceptual content, and consisting of a "fusion" between the natural object being described and the poet's own mind. The result is a kind of naturalistic mysticism, destructive of judgements and evaluations of the conscious intellect. The early poetry also registers the effect of certain scientific theories on Winters' mind; these theories were mechanistic and deterministic in nature, and they turned Winters' world into one in which moral and intellectual values had no reality. Other themes that appear …
A Validity Study Of The Construct "Most Highly Valued Representational System" In Human Auditory And Visual Perceptions., David E. Lange
A Validity Study Of The Construct "Most Highly Valued Representational System" In Human Auditory And Visual Perceptions., David E. Lange
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Bandler and Grinder (1975) proposed the construct "most highly valued representational systems" to describe auditory, visual, and kinesthetic perceptual orientations among individuals. They set forth a predicate method for determining an individual's primary representational system. Contrary to Bandler and Grinder's construct, experimental evidence consistently supports the principle of visual dominance among humans. In order to test the effectiveness of Bandler and Grinder's constructs, 221 volunteers were screened by an alternate predicate method. 22 subjects were selected as "highly auditory" and 19 subjects were selected as "highly visual." These 41 subjects were asked to give their first impressions to 75 simultaneous, …
The Relationship Of Biorhythms To Academic Performance In Reading., Natalia Lavonne Brackin Peveto
The Relationship Of Biorhythms To Academic Performance In Reading., Natalia Lavonne Brackin Peveto
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study was an investigation to determine if a relationship existed between the twenty-three day physical, twenty-eight day emotional and the thirty-three day intellectual biorhythm cycles and academic achievement in reading. If a relationship existed between the learning potential of a student and the low, critical and high levels of the biorhythm cycles, instructional techniques could be designed to capitalize on the internal fluctuations of each learner. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant relationship between the academic performance of a student in reading and the high, low and critical positions of the twenty-three day physical, twenty-eight day …

An Experimental Analysis Of The Effects Of D‐Amphetamine And Cocaine On The Acquisition And Performance Of Response Chains In Monkeys, Donald M. Thompson, Joseph M. Moerschbaecher
An Experimental Analysis Of The Effects Of D‐Amphetamine And Cocaine On The Acquisition And Performance Of Response Chains In Monkeys, Donald M. Thompson, Joseph M. Moerschbaecher
Faculty Publications
In one component of a multiple schedule of food presentation, monkeys acquired a different four‐response chain each session by responding sequentially on three keys in the presence of four geometric forms (learning). In the other component, the four‐response chain was the same each session (performance). Both d‐amphetamine and cocaine, at the higher doses, disrupted the behavior in the learning component; the overall response rate decreased, the overall accuracy was impaired (i.e., percent errors increased), and there was less within‐session error reduction. The performance component was generally less sensitive than the learning component to the disruptive effects of both drugs on …
Effects Of Methamphetamine And Scopolamine On Variability Of Response Location, Joseph M. Moerschbaecher, Donald M. Thompson, John R. Thomas
Effects Of Methamphetamine And Scopolamine On Variability Of Response Location, Joseph M. Moerschbaecher, Donald M. Thompson, John R. Thomas
Faculty Publications
Methamphetamine and scopolamine were studied in monkeys responding under a multiple fixed‐ratio fixed‐interval schedule of reinforcement. A response on any one of six levers could satisfy the schedule requirements. Variability of response location was evaluated in terms of switches, where a switch was defined as a response on one lever followed by a response on a different lever. Under baseline conditions the fixed‐ratio schedule generated a high rate of responding and a low level of variability, while the fixed‐interval schedule generated a low rate of responding and a high level of variability. Both methamphetamine (0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg) and scopolamine …
