Transitional Objects, Hypnotic Phenomena And Personality Characteristics, Keith N. Cohen

Theses and Dissertations

In the current investigation aspects of experience and personality in adult life were objectively assessed in relation to the childhood use of transitional objects. Experiences identified as characteristic of the "intermediate area" included those of deep and intense involvement. Hypnotic susceptibility, "absorption" phenomena, and personal interests and pursuits were measured as experiences representative of this realm. The study also sought to establish further correlative links between early use of transitional objects and adult personality traits and characteristics. Information regarding the early attachment to special inanimate objects was obtained through self- and parental-reports to questionnaires designed to survey parameters of object …

A Production Approach To The Shadow Box: A Thematic Study Of Death And Dying, Michael Joseph Kramer

Theses and Dissertations

Life continually ceases to exist, making death a mysterious frontier that even learned people have been unable to grasp. Death has been the subject of all genres of literature where answers to this phenomena have been infinitely scrutinized. Within the last few decades, a curiosity over the unknown dinensions of death has risen. Literature has also shared this curiosity. In the late seventies, Michael Cristofer's The Shadow Box adopted the theories of contemporary research and depicted three social units adjusting to the dying process. My purpose in this study has been three-fold: to compare other twentieth century plays on death …

Lignite Liquefaction Using Carbon Monoxide And Water In A Hot-Charge Batch Autoclave, Michael L. Swanson

Theses and Dissertations

The effects of temperature history on the liquefaction of lignite were investigated using the UND hot-charge, time-sampled batch autoclave facility. Approximately two hundred grams of moisture- and ash-free lig nite, one hundred grams of water, four hundred grams of hydrogenated anthracene oil solvent and carbon monoxide gas were reacted in both cold- charge and hot-charge experiments. The oil yields and overall conver sions were determined by extraction with cyclohexane and tetrahydrofuran, respectively. Maximum operating pressures ranged from 3670 psig to 3925 psig and the maximum reaction temperature was approximately 420°C in all cases.

Oil yields and overall conversion ranged from …

Maternal Distance Versus Symbiosis And Toddler-Mother Attachment During The Second Year Of Life, Robert A. Harms

Theses and Dissertations

This study was undertaken to relate individual differences along a Mahler-derived dimension of maternal distance-symbiosis to Ainsworth's patterns of infant-mother attachment and to assess cross-sectionally the normative appearance of Mahler's subphase of rapprochement (a restoring of close relations with the mother) in the middle of the second year of life. Sixty mother-toddler pairs, 20 each at the toddler ages of 12, 18, and 24 months evenly divided by sex, were observed in the Ainsworth and Wittig laboratory Strange Situation. Toddlers were classified according to the Ainsworth system into Group A (insecurely attached/ avoidant), Group B (securely attached), and Group C …

The Constituency Of Coya Knutson, 1954, Gretchen Urnes Beito

Theses and Dissertations

Women rarely seek political office and even more rarely achieve the office they seek. Only one woman has been elected to Congress from Minnesota or its adjacent states--Coya Knutson from the rural Ninth District in 1954 and 1956. While legal barriers to women's participation in politics have been abolished, personal and institutional barriers remain. How Coya Knutson overcame these obstacles--and the penalties she paid for doing so--is the subject of this paper.

Coya Gjesdal Knutson grew to maturity on a successful North Dakota farm, where she learned the value of hard work and perseverance. After completing four years at Concordia …

Informed Consent In Psychotherapy: A Survey Of Current Practices Among Mental Health Professionals, Mark L. Haugen

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current use of informed consent procedures among a systematic sample of social workers and psychologists, as well as a stratified sample of mental health center directors. A brief questionnaire was constructed which listed thirteen of the informed consent issues suggested by several authors in the literature.

A MANOVA and separate univariate ANOVAs were used to assess differences between individual professional and mental health center director groups. Post-hoc analyses revealed that mental health center directors reportedly address three informed consent issues to a greater extent than either individual professional group. These included …

Autoclave Studies Of Lignite Liquefaction, Bruce G. Miller

Theses and Dissertations

The effect of time at reaction temperature on the liquefaction of lignite using hydrogen or synthesis gas was studied. A slurry contain ing 200 grams of moisture-ash-free (MAF) lignite, 100 grams of water, and 400 grams of hydrogenated anthracene oil solvent was fed into the University of North Dakota Time-Sampling Hot-Charge Batch Autoclave System with the gas at an initial pressure of 400 psig.

Oil yields and conversions ranged from 0.9 percent to 35.7 percent and 66.7 percent to 90.6 percent, respectively, increasing as the time at or near the reaction temperature (380-420°C) increased. Higher con versions and greater oil …

Changing Land Use In The Rural-Urban Fringe: A Case Study Of Southwest Grand Forks, Jane M. Wilson

Theses and Dissertations

Between 1954 and 1980 significant changes took place in southwest Grand Forks. The predominant land use in 1954 was cultivated cropland, which covered 80.5 percent of the total study area. By 1980 cropland had declined to 26.7 percent of the total, with urban land uses such as single family residential, strip development and shopping center making significant increases. As the area became urbanized, problems devel oped. In 1979 the English Coulee unexpectedly flooded, damaging homes and the acute care hospital in the study area. In 1981 developers owed $2.4 million in delinquent special assessments.

In order to describe the land …

The Effects Of Combat Stress On The Personality Of Vietnam Veterans, Philip E. Levinson

Theses and Dissertations

The theoretical and empirical literature on post-traumatic stress disorder in Vietnam era veterans is reviewed, and the problems of the existing data in this area are discussed. In order to understand the effect of combat stress on the personality, 50 combat veterans and 50 noncombat veterans, who were alcohol and/or drug patients at the Minneapolis Veterans Administration Hospital, were administered the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). The group of combat veterans were further divided into groups of wounded (N = 15) and nonwounded (N = 35) veterans with the assumption that the experience of being wounded is an additional trauma …

The Interpretation Of Dostoevsky's Crime And Punishment As It Applies To A Philosophy Of Leadership For The Educator/Administrator, Fereshteh Nazerzadeh Kermani Gransar

Theses and Dissertations

The present study has aimed to explore and uncover educational leadership insights which exist in Feodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. This study involves four major parts: a relatively comprehensive literature review, important aspects of the study areas, main disciplinary concepts, and the general status of the knowledge in this area.

Dostoevsky was fascinated by man. He once wrote: "Man is mystery. This mystery must be solved, and even if you pass your entire life solving it, do not say you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery, because I want to be a man."1

His master work, …

Arts Education In A Teacher Education Curriculum: A Model Based On Comparative Analysis Of Arts Education Theories, Jean A. L. Olson

Theses and Dissertations

In this study the historical role of the arts in America was briefly traced as well as the history of federal interest in the arts and arts education. The importance of arts education for the individual, the school, and society was stated. Four basic tenets of arts education were derived from research and literature which provided criteria for effective arts activities and strategies. These tenets suggest that arts education (1) should be based on experiential, discovery-based, process-oriented approaches; (2) should be viewed as a developmental activity; (3) should focus on the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains of learning; and (4) …
