The Effects Of Athletic Participation And Self-Concept On Juvenile Misbehavior, Timothy G. Driscoll

Theses and Dissertations

Travis Hirshi's Social Control Theory proposes that delinquents fail to form or maintain a bond to society consisting of attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief.

The Invention Of Oz, Janet Faye Daley Lysengen

Theses and Dissertations

Since L. Frank Baum published his first Oz book in 1900, Oz has become an integral part of American society; yet, only recently have his books begun to receive critical attention. Critics seem most interested in dealing with them in terms of sociology, popular culture, and psychology, but a few have recognized Baum's contributions to the birth of science fiction, to the depiction of a female hero in Dorothy, and to Baum's imaginative and perceptive examination of what separates humans from machines. This thesis will analyze the literary dimension of the Oz series. The goal will be to perceive the …

The Effects Of Keyguard Use And Pelvic Position On Speed And Accuracy Of Typing For A Physically Handicapped Child: A Case Study, Diane J. Berg

Theses and Dissertations

A single case study was designed to explore the effects that two pelvic positions and the use of a keyguard have on a physically handicapped child's speed and accuracy in typing. The subject, an 8-year-old male with cerebral palsy, was positioned in four combinations of keyguard versus non-keyguard use and neutral versus posterior pelvic positions during eight typing sessions over a time period of one month. A two way analysis of variance by regression using a linear model was performed on speed and accuracy. The results indicated that the use of the keyguard increased accuracy (p < .01) and decreased speed (p < .01). Pelvic positioning did not appear to have a major effect on either speed or accuracy. Informal observations indicated that typing alone did not have a significant effect on spelling skills. Recommendations for further studies are addressed.

Theses and Dissertations

The role of the central nervous system neurotransmitter serotonin was evaluated on the anticonvulsant activity of various compounds. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is known to have an inhibitory role in central nervous system activity.

The occurrence of seizures was used to evaluate the degree of protection provided by a given dose of anticonvulsant.The role of serotonin on the anticonvulsant activity of these compounds was …
