Consumer Motivation Affecting The Purchase Of Sears Service Maintenance Contracts In The Minot Area, Daniel E. Kearney

Theses and Dissertations

As a result of this research, it was discovered that the primary reason for purchasing a contract was an economic motive. It was further learned that Sears did not emphasize the economic factor in their promotional appeals. Therefore, the following has been concluded: the consumers' purchase of service maintenance contracts was not made …

A Survey Of Vocal Characteristics In A Sample Of Adult Rheumatoid Arthritics, Janine B. Chenier

Theses and Dissertations

The normalcy of voicing at the level of the larynx is dependent upon the competency of the cricoarytenoid joints to which the vocal folds are attached. Rheumatoid involvement of this diarthrodial joint could result in reduced mobility or fixation of the fold(s).

Medical authors hold differing opinions of the nature and frequency of voice change due to the pathology known as cricoarytenoiditis. The term "hoarse" has been widely used to describe the characteristic alteration of phonation in a population of rheumatoid arthritics.

It was the purpose of this study to survey a sample of adult rheumatoid arthritics in order to …

A Descriptive Analysis Of Language And Cognition In Congenitally Blind Children Ages 3 Through 9, David Wm. Anderson

Theses and Dissertations

Purpose This study was designed as an investigation of the semantic and cognitive functioning of congenitally blind children within the age range of 3 through 9 years, to help fill the gap in the existing research concerning the early development of the visually handicapped.

Delays in cognitive development among school age congenitally blind children have been attributed to the limitations imposed by blindness on mobility and interaction with objects and events in the environment. It has been assumed that blind children must rely on less efficient sensory perception and discrimination processes resulting in a conceptualization of the world which may …

Determination Of Terrestrial Heat Flow In Southeastern North Dakota, Dean A. Zabel

Theses and Dissertations

Terrestrial heat flow measurements have been carried out at three sites in Southeastern North Dakota. The heat flow values were calculated from temperature gradients measured in three wells and thermal conductivities measured in the lab using samples from these wells.

At two of the sites values were obtained in Precambrian layers. Near Lidgerwood, North Dakota measurements in a layer of weathered Precambrian yielded a value of 1.21 HFU. At a site near Blanchard, North Dakota measurements in a Precambrian greenstone yielded a value of 0.76 HFU.

At a third site near Wheatland, North Dakota, no Precambrian layer was accessible for …

Cognitive Changes During The Grief Process, Barbara J. Benner

Theses and Dissertations

Although many authors have used the term "grief work" since Lindemann (1944) first coined it, there has been no systematic investigation of the nature of this phenomenon. This study sought to delineate the cognitive and interpersonal events that occur during grief events and grief resolution. It was hypothesized that grief work involves the creation of a new relationship with the deceased, and that this would be manifested in a variety of styles of grief.

Men and women who had been widowed within the previous two years were identified through newspaper obituaries and recruited as subjects. Sixty subjects completed two process …

Willingness To Self-Disclose And Attraction For The Therapist As Functions Of Subject-Therapist Matching On Conceptual System And Attitude Direction, Robin Foster

Theses and Dissertations

The main purpose of the investigation was to study willingness to -self-disclose and attraction for the therapist as functions of matching subjects and construed therapists for similarity/dissimilarity of attitude direction and concreteness/abstractness of conceptual system. A secondary purpose was to investigate willingness to selfd^ sclose and interpersonal attraction as functions of the conceptual system of the subject and the professional status of construed therapists.

A pool of undergraduates was given the "This I Believe Test" (Harvey, Hunt, and Schroder 1961) which were independently scored by two judges and used to select 16 male and 16 female subjects clearly representative of …

Theses and Dissertations

The present study was undertaken to examine several questions ranging from simple, direct, detailed examination of juvenile probation officer behavior in a county juvenile court system, to a more technical question—Does this study provide additional validation of the Group Assessment of Interpersonal Traits? In addition, the study locks at the relationship between probation officer's verbal behaviors and their ratings of Therapist Talent.

Twelve juvenile probation officers (full-time and volunteer) and their probationers agreed to have four individual sessions audio recorded. Randomly selected segments of these tapes were rated by two sets of raters. Their verbal behaviors were categorized and ratings …

Reproductive Isolating Mechanisms And Communication In Greater Prairie Chickens (Tympanuchus Cupido) And Sharp-Tailed Grouse (Pedioecetes Phasianellus), Donald W. Sparling Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

Sympatric populations of greater prairie chickens (Tympanuchus cupido) and sharp-tailed grouse (Pedioecetes phasianel lus) were studied between 1975 and 1978 in northwestern Minnesota for the pur poses of identifying and determining the strength of reproductive isolating mechanisms between them. Major emphasis was placed on ethological mechanisms but other factors were also examined.

Approximately a fifth of the sharptail’s distribution overlaps half of the prairie chicken’s within North America. Within the zone of sympatry, prairie chicken populations are in small patches and may be liable to hybrid swarming, particularly with changes in land-use practices. The rate cf hybridization is around 1% …
