The Buell Military Commission: A Microcosm Of The Union Command Problem, Mark Peine

Theses and Dissertations

This paper is a study of Union military philosophy during the American Civil War. Its specific purpose is to identify and establish clearly what is classified here as the Union command problem. Simply stated, the command problem was due to the fact that there were two schools of generalship, both inadequate; this meant that top leadership was usually mediocre since, for different reasons, Union commanders had an incomplete idea of war.

The procedure used to study this command problem is, first, to examine its origins in eighteenth century European military theory and then to study its appearance on the battlefield …

Personality Characteristics And Effeciveness Of Paraprofessional Addiction Counselors, James H. Thrower

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine how personality traits measured by the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) are related to the effectiveness of paraprofessional addiction counselors. Thirtyone counselors from three in-patient treatment centers in North Dakota and Minnesota participated in the study. Four measures of effectiveness were used: ratings by peers, rankings by peers, ratings by supervisors, and rankings by supervisors.

A method of pattern analysis, hierarchical classification by generalized distances was used to analyze the data. The results indicate that the most effective paraprofessional addiction counselors score higher on the EPPS scale of Dominance and lower on …

An Investigation Between Field Dependence, Sex Role Identification And Attitudes, Male Versus Female Dominated Career Choice, And Dependency Behavior, Patricia A. Torness

Theses and Dissertations

One rather consistent finding from field dependence studies is that males are more field independent, more articulated in their approach to certain perceptual tasks, than females. It appears that cultural factors and the encouragement of independent behavior are related to the development of field dependence or field independence. If society plays a role in the development of individual differences in field dependence, a change in society such as the present movement toward greater equality in sex roles could possibly influence sex differences in field dependence. The present study was designed as a correlational study to assess sex role identity, attitudes, …

A Comparison Of Attitude Change In Senior Citizen And College Age Subjects, Carl R. Westphal

Theses and Dissertations

The present study was designed to examine the validity of generally held assumptions of decreased attitudinal flexibility in the aged. A preliminary study preceded the formal study and identified a target attitude, sources of varying credibility, and evaluated self-esteem as a possible confounding variable. Subsequently 40 college age and 40 senior citizen subjects' attitude toward the Equal Rights Amendment were measured by a paper and pencil survey. Two weeks later an anti- E.R.A. attitude change message, attributed to sources of varying age and credibility, was presented and its impact measured by a posttest survey. Follow-up measures were taken three weeks …

Effects Of Length Of Residence On Resident Adjustment In Nursing Homes, Jeanine Elaine Kotschwar Entingh

Theses and Dissertations

Institutionalization is a process which affects 20% of Americans over 65 years. The research in the area has shown that, at least in some cases, this process may have deleterious effects on the elderly. Some suggest that relocation alone can be harmful, and may result in increased mortality or decreased adjustment. Others state that these effects may be moderated or reversed under the proper conditions. Still others propose that a person-situation match is the important factor in adjustment to an institution.

This study is a cross-sectional comparison of people who have lived in a nursing home for under one year. …

Correlates Of Perceived And Experienced Life Stress, Jerry Allan Boriskin

Theses and Dissertations

Previous researchers employing objective measures of life stress such as the Social Readjustment Rating Scale have demonstrated an association between life change and illness onset. More recently, because of their apparently superior predictive validity, individualized ratings of stressfullness of life events have been employed. The psychological contributors to perception of life events, as well as psychological correlates to the level of experienced stress, are basically unexplored.

The present study investigated the association of perceived stress and experienced stress with the psychological constructs measured by: the Repression-Sensitization Scale, the Adult Nowicki-Strickland Scale, the Hidden Figures Test, and the Mood Adjective Checklist. …

Self-Concept In Children Of Alcoholics, David J. Baraga

Theses and Dissertations

The progressive deterioration of an alcohol abuser is well documented. As the alcoholic continues to sink into a deeper dependency on alcohol, he experiences devastating physical and emotional repercussions. Not the least of the repercussions is the gradual breakdown of his family system. As the alcoholic moves toward the bottle, his family moves away from him, with the result that alcoholism ranks as one of the leading causes of broken homes. Alcoholism is double-edged; it affects not only the primary victim but it exerts a heavy toll on the spouse and children as well. Only recently has stress in research …
