Themes, Intentions, And Fog: An Artist's Statement, Robert M. Jankel

Theses and Dissertations

My statement *as an artist expresses itself in chronological order: how I as an artist, over an approximate period of a year and a half, sought to bring meaning into my visual expressions even though I worked in a subjective and abstract manner. First, my paper discusses the importance of being aware of basic themes and intentions, and how ones thoughts and emotions affect the whole visual process. Also, I have asserted that an artist can make general statements which visually communicate on more than one level of consciousness.

A Study To Determine The Effects Of A Perceptual-Motor Program Upon The Improvement Of Motor Skills And The Enhancement Of Self-Concepts Of Primary School Children, Grades One Through Three, Thomas G. Hall

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study wa3 to determine whether a perceptual-motor program, conducted by primary classroom teachers, could improve not only children*3 motor skills, but also enhance their self-concept.

Two hundred and thirty-four children in grades one, two, and three, from the Great Palls Public School District, were divided into two groups, experimental (N=121) and control (N=113). The experimental group received eight weeks of treatment (a perceptual-motor program) on a daily basis from their classroom teacher who themselves had received twelve to sixteen hours of in-service instruction in perceptual-motor training.

An Analysis Of The Effects Of A Preschool Program For Parental Involvement On Reading Readiness, William R. Kreul

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a school district training parents to teach pre-reading skills to their four-year-old children through home-based learning activities. These activities were carried out through an experimental program in Independent School District 742 which has its central administrative offices in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

Maternal Personality Variables And Their Effect On Interaction With Their One-Year Old Children, David Baraga

Theses and Dissertations

Attachment behavior is defined as the diversity of behaviors which promote proximity, contact and communication with the figure or figures to whom the child is attached. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that personality traits of the mother influence the manner in which she characteristically relates to her child. These traits, therefore, influence the quality of attachment of the child.

To accomplish this task, thirty-six mothers and their one- year-old children participated in a controlled laboratory situation consisting of eight episodes in which the child alternately played with the mother, with, a stranger, and alone. Observations were made …

Personality Needs And Patterns Of Friendship, Robert J. Bateen

Theses and Dissertations

Several approaches to the study of friendship based on Murray’s (1938) need model have been suggested. Winch (1955) proposed that a person who is high on one need would be attracted to another who is high on a complementary need. Izard (1960a) failed to support Winch's hypothesis but found instead that friends tended to have similar needs. Izard suggested that people who were striving for the same goals could engage in mutual need satisfaction and would therefore be attracted.

Since need satisfaction is a theme common to both Winch's and Izard's approaches, the current author suggested an approach which would …

Effects Of Background Music On Interpersonal Immediacy, Roberta Schwab Stephens

Theses and Dissertations

The prosent study was designed to demonstrate the e f fects of background music on immediacy behaviors observed during dyadic interaction. I t was predicted that background music introduced during an ongoing male-female interaction would increase interpersonal immediacy re lat ive to a preceding no-sound baseline. I t was further predicted that immediacy would be enhanced more by background music than by "cont ro l " exposures to white noise.

Six male-female dyads were observed during 36 minutes of continuous interaction. Following an A.-B-A.-C design, the interaction period was divided into four 9-minute segments two baseline segments and two treatment …

Lexical Recycling In Chewa Discourse: Aspects Of Linguistic Form And Function In The Surface Realization Of A Narrative Organizational Model, Ernst R. Wendland

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction: "The limitations of a purely linguistic description of an oral performance [...] do not deny the fact that careful linguistic studies can perform a valuable service in the exposition of both the form and meaning of the total communicative complex. It is the purpose of this paper, then, to substantiate that claim by applying a number of the insights and techniques of discourse analysis procedures [...] to a selected group of Chewa narratives. Each of these stories features an organizational model which is quite common among the Bantu-speaking peoples of Central and South Africa. Essentially, this model …
