Higher Education And Life Chances: A Study Of Occupational Attainments And Attitudes Among Some Public University Graduates, Richard Peter Talbot

Doctoral Dissertations

This study investigates the post-graduate educational and occupational experiences of the 1968 and 1978 graduates of a state flagship university. First, it explores the influence of parental variables upon respondents' choice of curriculum and of post-graduate study. Second, it examines the occupational placement of the respondents by cohort and by gender. Third, it explores the present attitudes of the respondents by cohort and gender.

A stratified random sampling of the graduates (N = 433) via a mailed survey questionnaire shows that more men than women in the 1968 cohort return their forms. There is the suspicion that only those who …

The Influence Of Kin Support And Parental Attitudes On The Care Of Deinstitutionalized Developmentally-Disabled Children, Susan Carol Herrick

Doctoral Dissertations

Are there characteristics of the handicapped child and/or his family which correlate with parents' perceptions of positive kin support? How does kin support affect the child's placement outcomes? How does the child's locus in the historical context of the deinstitutionalization movement influence his/her communitization?

To answer these questions, 93 families whose children were residents at Laconia State School and Training Center for mentally retarded people in New Hampshire were engaged in face-to-face interviews between 1984 and 1985. Each parent was read a list of possible resource groups (family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, other parents, clergy, doctors, and "others") and asked how …

The Lateralization Of The Word Frequency Effect, David Alan Bozak

Doctoral Dissertations

Two lexical decision experiments were performed to investigate the lateralization of the word frequency effect and the interaction with word class. Positive results would support proposals of multiple lexicons in lexical retrieval models. The first was a small-n experiment varying visual angle of presentation, signal to noise ratios, visual field and word class (noun/verb) while using high frequency word and nonword items. The purpose of this experiment was to document the sensitivity of observers to material presented varying distances from a central fixation point while replicating previous research results of a word class by visual field interaction. The second experiment …

Sources Of Stress In Middle Childhood: Child And Parent Perspectives, Maryann Collins Corsello

Doctoral Dissertations

Much of the literature on childhood stress is based on adult assumptions of what is stressful to children. Rarely are young children solicited for their perspective. The present study addressed the following two issues in the assessment of childhood stress: (1) Can young children give reliable and valid appraisals of potentially stressful situations? (2) Do these appraisals differ systematically from those made by parents for their children?

In small group discussions, children in grades 1 through 4 (N = 62) provided information on sources of stress and pictures of a "nervous" person. The child-provided stressors and the drawings formed the …
