The Relationship Of The Self-Concept And The Reflected Ideal Self To Various Components Of Friendship, Dennis L. Johnson

Theses and Dissertations

This investigation was designed to examine some of the rela tionships between self-concepts, evaluations by others, and friendship. It was hypothesized that a person who is seen by a second person similarly to the way the first person would like to see himself will be more likely to form friendships with the second person, and more likely to see him as ego supportive than when such similarity does not exist. It was also predicted that people who see themselves as being quite different from the way they would like to be (unfavorable self-concepts) will be more likely to be involved …

A Multidimensional Scaling Approach To Interperson Similarity And Attraction, Brenda Gryting Heltne

Theses and Dissertations

The intent of this investigation was to determine what judgment strategies are actually employed when judging the similarity of individuals, and the relationship of similarity estimates to a rated attraction index. The Stone-Coles (1970) multidimensional scaling technique was utilized. The input was based on the estimates of interperson similarity made by 16 pledges of a sorority. Each pledge also ranked the attractiveness of the other 15 pledges.

The four factor-dimensions which emerged from the judgmental data, similarity estimates, were interpreted as "dating conservatism-liberalism," "sociability," "non-dependability-dependability," and "dominance-submission". Only the "sociability" and "dominance-submission" dimensions were found to be linearly related to …

A Methodological Comparison Of Interview And Behavioral Techniques For Assessment Of Conservation Of Length, Richard E. Harder

Theses and Dissertations

Piaget (1929) contends that a verbal interview is the only procedure which is flexible enough to follow and examine the development of cognitive processes in children. However verbal methods are inconsistent with the suggestion by Piaget (1951, 1963) and several colleagues (Furth, 1964, 1966; Sinclair-de-Zwart, 1969) that language merely reflects underlying cognitive processes, and is not a source of logical development. In addition verbal methods allow for verbal misunderstandings by both subjects and experimenters, provide for experimenter bias and may foster response sets.

To minimize these theoretical and methodological difficulties, several investigations (e.g., Braine, 1959, 1962; Sawda & Nelson, 1968) …

The Development Of A Modular-Flexible Schedule Model And Its Utilization In Building A New Secondary School Physics Curriculum, Lloyd L. Fezler

Theses and Dissertations

Problem: It was the primary purpose of this study to develop a secondary school physics curriculum guide for use within a modular-flexible schedule framework. A secondary aspect was to design a model modular-flexible schedule specifically for physics instruction.

Procedure: Information has been obtained through the direct visitation of seventeen schools in the Minneapolis-St. Paul and suburban areas which were using a modular-flexible scheduled program. A comprehensive study has been made of the physics curricula used in each school to determine its relative effectiveness within a modular-flexible framework.

Interrogation of administrators, staff members and. curriculum • specialists was employed to ascertain …

Numerical Control: A Decision Model For Small Manufacturer Guidance, Donald Homrighausen

Theses and Dissertations

Much has been written about numerical control (N/C) and its various benefits and limitations, but there is a definite lack of and need for a unifying decision concept, particularly one oriented to small machine shops. Numerically controlled machining operations can be a major investment for a small shop and therefore management needs good guidance for sound decision making when it comes to deciding whether or not to introduce N/C to his operations.

This study examines the various aspects of N/C and categorizes them under three general areas: (1) technical aspects, advantages and disadvantages, (2) economic aspects, and (3) intangible aspects. …

Acoustical Communication In The Sharp-Tailed Grouse, Louis Henry Kermott Iii

Theses and Dissertations

The Sharp-tailed Grouse has evolved a highly complex system of visual and acoustical signals due to increased social interactions necessary with the predator pressure of an exposed environment. The first portion of the spring mating season is primarily involved with establishment and defense of territories. Predominant acoustical signals are aggressive, highly ritualized, and involved in individual location and recognition. During mid-season females visit the lek, are courted by males, and copulations occur. Acoustical signals are concerned with attracting and stimulating females, vary on a time and frequency continuum, and are thus not as highly ritualized. During the last portion of …

Personality Characteristics Of Unsuccessful Student Teachers, Peter J. Johnson

Theses and Dissertations

Problem: The purpose of this study was to investigate the causes underlying the unsuccessful professional laboratory experiences of student teachers at Saint Cloud State College. Two problems of a specific nature were scrutinized in this study:

1. What were the reasons that made student teachers ineffective in their student teaching experiences at Satin Cloud State College, furthermore, what limitations did personality factors place on student performance?

2. Which, if any, of the selection criteria could identify the potentially unsuccessful student teachers.

Method: This investigation was primarily a study of records and evaluations of those people who were admitted to teacher …

Nationalism And Patriotic Idealism As Thematic Aspects In Art, Daniel A. Doucette

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis has a two-fold purpose: (1) to provide an historical outline of the incidence of patriotic thematic material in Western art by presenting examples of works from dominant Western cultures beginning with Greece and Rome and including Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the United States. Examples given are in sequence from the eleventh century to the present excluding the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth centuries. Greek and Roman examples are from two major epochs—the Hellenistic period of Greece, 323 to 146 B.C. (Greek period of nationalism) and the period 27 to 117 A.D. in Roman history (the period in …

An Attempt To Unify Two Divergent Currents In The Art Of The Twentieth Century, Robert J. Hromyak

Theses and Dissertations

The problem was to unify the apparently conflicting themes of hard edge painting and figurative subject matter.

There are historical precidents for both styles in the twentieth century in the work of Kasimir Malevich and Piet Mondrian on the side of abstract geometric form, and Tom Wesselmann on the side of figurative painting.

Presented as evidence of the possibilities of such an approach are ten acrylic paintings and ten serigraphs.

Task And Socioemotional Interaction As Contexts Affecting The Agreement-Attraction Relationship, William D. Wittman

Theses and Dissertations

The majority of the research supports the hypothesis that agreement is a major variable in attraction, but several recent studies have shown other conditions may also be important. Following Wright's (1969a) friendship model, Wright and Crawford (1969) have shown that males are oriented toward both "task" and "social-emotional" situations, while females are oriented primarily toward "social- emotional" situations. The present study was designed to investigate the role of agreement within these two situational variables. It was hypothesized that, for males in a task situation, agreement would yield greater attraction than disagreement. For females, greater attraction was predicted for agreeing pairs …

The Psammon Of Bars And Beaches In Two Small Northwestern Minnesota Streams, Richard D. Urban

Theses and Dissertations

Sand bars and beaches of the Mississippi (MR) and Wild Rice (WRR) Rivers, Minnesota, were sampled to allow determination of sand texture, capillarity, pore space, organic content, temperature, chemistry (pH, Og, CO3 and HCO3 alkalinity, total hardness, Ca, Mg, PO4, NH3-N, and NO2-N) of interstitial, water, and composition and concentration of psammo-organisms, all in relation to current influences, distance above and below waterline, and depth into the sand.

Minimum and maximum values for capillary rise were 36-80 mm in the MR and 118-191 mm in the WRR; organic content was 217.4 mg/10cc sand for the MR and 377.1 mg/10cc sand …
