Modification Of Stimulation Seeking Behavior In Psychopaths Using Hypnotic Sensory Imagery Conditioning, Franklin D. Deforest

Theses and Dissertations

Recent theorizing has postulated that there exists for every individual an optimal level of arousal. Deviations from this optimal state produce discomfort which motivates behaviors aimed at remediation. Potential causes of underarousal include the attenuation of perceptual input and excessively rapid habituation to sensory input. Both of these processes have been linked dynamically to the psychopathic condition. Presumably, in the context of restricted opportunities for involvement in highly stimulating activities, the psychopathic individual attempts to alleviate the stress caused by chronic sensory deprivation through participation in illegal behaviors. The present investigation has attempted to clarify the dynamic picture with regards …

The third was a picture task where pictures of a person, a person wearing a mask, and an animal were compared and the children were asked to decide which two …

Physical Contact In Psychotherapy, Cassandra Lynne Tyson

The Role Of Emotional Discharge In The Resolution Of Grief, Anne M. Metzger

Theses and Dissertations

Many authors have expressed the opinion that the resolution of grief requires the open expression of the emotions accompanying grief. While this need for emotional discharge has been mentioned frequently, there has been no empirical evidence of a connection between emotional discharge and successful grief work. This study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that recently bereaved individuals who reported more emotional discharge behaviors would have a more positive resolution of their grief at four months post-bereavement. It was also hypothesized that the specific type of discharge behavior and the number of individuals involved would not be significant. However, it …

Internal - External Locus Of Control Of Reinforcement And Its Relationship With Self-Control, Lynelle M. Erickson

Undergraduate Theses and Senior Projects

The role of locus of control of reinforcement, as measured by .the SPIES (Mischel, Zeis & Zeis, 1974), in self-control was examined in a resistance to temptation procedure with preschool children. Relevant literature was discussed and performance on the I+ subscale of the SPIES was correlated with delay during the resistance to temptation experiment. Verbalizations during the delay were recorded to assess their effect on delay time. Neither subscale of the SPIES was significantly con:-elated with delay time, methodological factors and general applicability of the SPIES were discussed. Implications of this study for future work were also discussed

Field Independence And Cognitive Flexibility In Creative Test Performance, Joel Patrick Newman

Theses and Dissertations

Much research in recent years has been devoted to the identification and measurement of creative abilities. It was postulated that Werner's orthogenetic principle, in which development is conceptualized as proceeding from a state of relative lack of differentiation of functions to a state of increasing differentiation, articulation, and hierarchic integration of functions, might be applied to cognitive development in order to provide a useful model for investigating such abilities. A parallel interest of the investigator was the use of the Stroop Color-Word Test as a measure of hierarchic integration of cognitive functions (here called cognitive flexibility).

Prenatal Zinc Deficiency And Stress In The Rat, Michael Charles Rowe

Theses and Dissertations

The studies presented below concern the effects of stress upon prenatal zinc deficient adult rats. One group of dams was fed a zinc deficient diet from the morning of day 14 to the morning of day 19 of the pregnancy. A second group was given the same amount of food as was eaten by their zinc deficient counterpart (pair-fed) plus water containing 50 ppm zinc, thus they were not zinc deficient but did experience starvation. A third group was fed the diet ad libitum and given the zinc-supplemented water.

Hypnotic Age Regression And The Occurrence Of Transitional Object Relationships, Michael Robert Nash

Theses and Dissertations

A transitional object, as defined by object-relation theorists is the first treasured possession of the infant (teddy bear, blanket, etc.) usually first appearing in the second half of the first year, and terminating between the ages of four and six. Object relations theory and subsequent empirical investigations have demonstrated that, for almost all three year old children, the relationship with the transitional object: is spontaneously desired during periods of isolation and mild stress, is characterized by attachment to a specific object, and is affectively intense. The present study used these three characteristics of the three year old child's mode of …
