Introducing North Dakota Writers To North Dakota Readers, Kathie Anderson

Theses and Dissertations

My study of the literature of North Dakota began ten years ago, when the topic for the annual writers conference at the University of North Dakota was the literature of the Northern Plains. At that conference I listened to Lois Phillips Hudson, Thomas McGrath, Richard Lyons, and other regional writers. Since that conference, I have been reading the literature of North Dakota and learning about the writers, and I have introduced the literature of North Dakota to my students in Grand Forks and Bismarck. My students, like the rest of us, have had the initial reaction, "Literature--Here?"

This study consists …

The Role Of Women In Education: Antecedents, Current Status, And Change Strategies, Lois J. Fisher

Theses and Dissertations

Statement of the problem. This historical-philosophical study examines the role of women in education. Currently women hold few positions of leadership or prestige in this profession. While women have long had an important role in education, that role has seldom been a high status position.

Purpose of the study. Understanding the role of women in education requires understanding the influences that have helped to shape that role. Those influences and antecedents are to be found in the subject-matter fields of history, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and education. The explanation and description of this background material provides a philosophical and theoretical base …

Lateralized Emotional And Cognitive Processes In Personality, Steven Lee Dawson

Theses and Dissertations

Research on hemispheric specialization has generated theories of lateralized cognition, personality traits, and emotional experience and expression. Of these the research on lateralized cognition has provided the most reliable and interpretable results. Using the lateralized cognitive attributes as a guideline, a personality model of hemispheric activation is hypothesized which suggests that each hemisphere provides a distinctive overall approach to information gathering, cognitive processing, emotional experience and behavioral expression. This model predicts that detai1-oriented perception, rumination, and analytic processing are the domain of the left hemisphere, while a more spatial perceptual approach and holistic cognitive processing are the domain of the …

Extraversion, Introversion And Anxiety In Relation To Affiliation In College Students, Thomas Matthew Krapu

Theses and Dissertations

Similarities between personality defects resulting from disruptive, inadequate affective development and problems of extreme extraversion and introversion suggested that developmental ego psychology and object relations theories might be useful in understanding interpersonal functioning in general and how people affiliate in particular. Research on affiliation indicated that extraverts are more affiliative and introverts less affillative, under a condition of high anxiety. A greater predisposition to become anxious (trait anxiety) was also associated with reduced affiliative tendencies under a high anxiety condition. Other research suggested that women and first born subjects were more affiliative than men and later born subjects. The present …

Vachel Lindsay: The Dispersed And Prepared Audience., Kenneth Peder Peeders

Theses and Dissertations

Vachel Lindsay travelled thousands of miles, subjected himself to a grueling schedule of public appearances and stressed the oral presentation of his poetry over and above simple publication alone. In so doing, he set himself apart from others in the New Poetry movement which began during the second decade of this century. This study documents Lindsay's uniqueness.It does so by exploring, in chapter one, his search for an audience, first, through publication in magazines and through the publication of a volume of his verse, and, second, through oral presentation. It establishes Lindsay's early interest in the voice-to-ear approach and presents …
