The Relation Between Mood And The Relative Accessibility Of Affectively Latent Cognitive Structures: Testing The Mood-Congruent Priming Hypothesis, Linda Jean Pertsch Jan 1991

The Relation Between Mood And The Relative Accessibility Of Affectively Latent Cognitive Structures: Testing The Mood-Congruent Priming Hypothesis, Linda Jean Pertsch

Doctoral Dissertations

According to the network model of mood and memory (Bower, 1981), information that is congruent with present mood should be primed and therefore more accessible than incongruent information. The following series of studies investigated this hypothesis and addressed several secondary predictions concerning the conditions under which mood-congruent priming effects occur. Using naming time as a measure of accessibility, Study 1 tested the mood-congruent priming hypothesis by assessing the relation between natural occurring mood and relative accessibility of positive versus negative adjectives and nouns. In addition to replicating Study 1, Study 2 tested an affect-specific version of the mood-congruent priming hypothesis …

The Effect Of Objective Self-Awareness On Judgments Of Noncontingent Act-Outcome Relations, Jeffrey Lynn Metzger Jan 1991

The Effect Of Objective Self-Awareness On Judgments Of Noncontingent Act-Outcome Relations, Jeffrey Lynn Metzger

Doctoral Dissertations

Female college students' perceptions of control over outcomes were examined in a high outcome, noncontingent, bivariate, act-outcome task. Logit regression revealed that the odds of judging low control and the odds of judging no relation increased when subjects performed the task in the presence of self-focusing stimuli. When subjects performed the task in front of a mirror, or in the presence of a video camera or an observer, the odds of judging low control increased by a factor of 2.57, 2.74, and 2.74 respectively. Subjects in the mirror, camera, and observer conditions also judged "no relation" between actions and outcomes …

Neuropathology And Behavioral Impairments Following Pyrithiamine-Induced Thiamine Deficiency: Protective Effects Of Glutamate Antagonist Mk-801, John Kenneth Robinson Jan 1991

Neuropathology And Behavioral Impairments Following Pyrithiamine-Induced Thiamine Deficiency: Protective Effects Of Glutamate Antagonist Mk-801, John Kenneth Robinson

Doctoral Dissertations

Thirty-six male rats were extensively pretrained on a spatial delayed non-matching to sample (DNMTS) task at 0 sec, 3 sec, 4.5 sec, and 6 sec retention intervals. They were matched by performance and assigned to one of four treatment groups: pyrithiamine-induced thiamine deficiency (PTD), pair-fed control, pyrithiamine-induced thiamine deficiency plus injections of glutamate antagonist MK-801 (PTD + MK-801), or pair-feeding and MK-801 injections. After 16 days of treatment and three weeks recovery, subjects were tested again on nonmatching to sample. Performance was initially assessed at a 3-sec delay for 400 trials, and then memory delay was varied for 100 trials …

One Writing Process: A Self-Reflective Analysis Of The Creation Of A Young Adult Novel, Thomas S. Romano Jan 1991

One Writing Process: A Self-Reflective Analysis Of The Creation Of A Young Adult Novel, Thomas S. Romano

Doctoral Dissertations

To describe his process of creation, the author analyzes the journal he kept in conjunction with writing a young adult novel. Each day he wrote fiction, he used a journal to document his writing and thinking processes, invention strategies, and creation dilemmas. The author examined his planning techniques, his use of visualization and detail, the role that reading played in his writing, and the influence of people and autobiographical experience. He found that some of his most productive planning and thinking were done while away from his writing room, not consciously thinking about the novel-in-progress until ideas suddenly occurred to …

Motivational And Cognitive Components Of Self-Presentation In Humor And Embarrassment: A Multi-Measure Approach, Mae Lynn Neyhart Jan 1991

Motivational And Cognitive Components Of Self-Presentation In Humor And Embarrassment: A Multi-Measure Approach, Mae Lynn Neyhart

Doctoral Dissertations

Different methodological approaches were taken to explore the role of situational variables and personality factors that measure the motivational component of self presentation on degree of subjects' reported feelings of threat and their response time to complete self-directed humorous or embarrassing situations. In Study 1 a questionnaire approach was utilized and qualitative as well as quantitative data was analyzed. Specifically, humorous and embarrassing situations that male and female subjects provided were compared. Relations were found between personality measures and reported degree of threat. Study 2 included a response time measure and number of times a subject made another person the …

Values And Preventive Health Behavior: Assessment Using The Rokeach Value Survey, Response Time, And Certainty Ratings, Robert Wayne Blodgett Jan 1991

Values And Preventive Health Behavior: Assessment Using The Rokeach Value Survey, Response Time, And Certainty Ratings, Robert Wayne Blodgett

Doctoral Dissertations

The relation between the value college students place on health and their self-reported preventive health behavior was examined within the context of Rokeach's (1973) value system. Two broad categories of values having opposite relations with preventive health behavior were identified. Of particular interest was whether decision times and degrees of certainty regarding the importance of health, relative to other values, would facilitate the prediction of preventive health behavior scores. Knowledge of ordinal distance from health enhanced prediction, but only for certain values. Composite scores incorporating response times and certainty ratings with ordinal distance from health, however, did not improve predictions …

Writing Relationships: Reading Students, Reading Ourselves, Lad Tobin Jan 1991

Writing Relationships: Reading Students, Reading Ourselves, Lad Tobin

Doctoral Dissertations

If we want to understand how students learn to write in a college composition course, we need to pay more attention to the context in which that writing and the teacher's reading occurs. What we need is a definition of context broad enough to account for the interactive and dialectical nature of the composing and reading processes, but still narrow enough to tell us what not to take into account. My argument in this dissertation is that we can best accomplish this by viewing context in composition as primarily determined by the interpersonal, classroom relationships--between the student and teacher, between …

Summer Revisions: An Ethnographic Study Of High School Teachers In The Culture Of A Summer Writing Program, Bonnie S. Sunstein Jan 1991

Summer Revisions: An Ethnographic Study Of High School Teachers In The Culture Of A Summer Writing Program, Bonnie S. Sunstein

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation uses the term "culture" as a metaphor to describe teachers as they participate in the three-week summer writing program at the University of New Hampshire. Using ethnographic methodology, it blends composition theory, anthropology, folkloristics, and psychology. In the voice of the participant observer, the study describes and interprets both the people and the event as a "readable social institution." Teachers live inside a close collegial environment, a temporary, "liminal" state, away from their home and school responsibilities. They form a dialectical relationship with the "culture" as they write and talk inside a social environment in which other teachers …

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

They also suggest implications for pending proposals to further control air pollution.

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

[Excerpt] "An unindexed journal is of little use over the long haul, and many libraries will not subscribe to it. [Of course, we plan to include at least an author and title index in the next issue, but that doesn't count.] Therefore, we were pleased to learn that Risk has been approved by the Indexing Periodical Literature Advisory Committee [One of the few which may not need nonexpert members!] of the American Association of Law Libraries. This means, for example, that Risk will be included in the Current Law Index, Legaltrac, and Legal Resources Index published by Information Access Company."
