Petrology Of The Sentinel Butte Formation (Paleocene), North Dakota, Nels F. Forsman Jan 1985

Petrology Of The Sentinel Butte Formation (Paleocene), North Dakota, Nels F. Forsman

Theses and Dissertations

Sedimentary materials of the Sentinel Butte Formation have been petrographically examined using optical and scanning electron micro scope/microprobe techniques. The formation consists of fine-grained materials which generally are classified mineralogically as volcanic litharenites or feldspathic litharenites. Most rock units in the formation are siltstones and mudstones. Multiple source rock types, including volcanic, metamorphic, and sedimentary, are represented by mineralogic constituents, but volcanic rock fragments are most abundant. Petrographic distinctions between basal and uppermost sandstone units suggest that a change in sediment supply took place near the end of Sentinel Butte time. Authigenic cement development appears concentrated in more porous and …

Normative Influences On Pastors' Friendships (Loneliness, Pedestal, Propriety)., Tegan J. Blackbird

Theses and Dissertations

Although the problem of ministerial loneliness is widely acknowledged in the literature, there is a conspicuous dearth of empirical research investigating the nature of the difficulty. Based on a review of the literature and exploratory interviews with several local pastors in the Grand Forks area, a study was designed to investigate ministerial loneliness by qualitatively assessing and comparing both the nature of the friendships of a population of pastors vs. those of matched control laymen, and the nature of existing normative structures for these two groups. The relationship between the friendship variables and normative variables for both groups were analyzed …


The Relationship Between Client-Therapist Mental Health Value Similarity And Psychotherapy Outcome., Randall Scott Cheloha Jan 1985

The Relationship Between Client-Therapist Mental Health Value Similarity And Psychotherapy Outcome., Randall Scott Cheloha

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between client-therapist pretherapy similarity on mental health values and psychotherapy outcome. Previous outcome research has examined client-therapist similarity on values-in-general but neglected the study of mental health values. Mental health values are defined as a subset of values-in-general, those concerned with judgments of good or poor mental health. A sample of outpatients (N = 60) and their therapists (N = 28) completed the Mental Health Values Questionnaire (MHVQ; Tyler, Clark, Olson, Klapp, and Cheloha, 1983) as a measure of mental health values. The MHVQ consists of eight scales: (a) Self-Acceptance, …

"Do What The Spirit Say Do": John Beecher And His Poetry (Social Protest, Political Poetry, Alabama), James Alfred Helten Jan 1985

"Do What The Spirit Say Do": John Beecher And His Poetry (Social Protest, Political Poetry, Alabama), James Alfred Helten

Theses and Dissertations

John Beecher lived for nearly half of the twentieth century in the vanguard of social protest in the United States. His personal protest manifested itself primarily in two arenas which are often considered to be mutually exclusive, art and politics. In neither arena was he an organization man, but rather a "free radical." He belonged to no particular school of poets, and he espoused racial equality and freedom of ideology at times when neither of those issues was popular. Beecher felt no reticence about conjoining poetry and politics, confident of the benefits that might more than offset the detrimental effects. …

Individual Differences In Prose Memory Recall And Eeg Activation As A Function Of Personality (Arousal, Laterality, Attention), Rodney Allen Swenson Jan 1985

Individual Differences In Prose Memory Recall And Eeg Activation As A Function Of Personality (Arousal, Laterality, Attention), Rodney Allen Swenson

Theses and Dissertations

The present study investigated a theoretical model of neuroattentional self-control systems postulated by Tucker and Williamson (1984) by examining how the systems they outline present themselves behaviorally. One system, the Activation system, was described as functionally important for preparing the organism for maintaining a tonic, motoric readiness for action. It is complemented by an Arousal system, whose main function was to perceptually orient the central nervous system to novelty in the stimulus array. The former was postulated to be left-lateralized while the latter was said to be right-lateralized, in terms of hemispheric specialization. To examine this model, 40 subjects (20 …
