Large School, Small School: The Relationship Between A College Student's High School Size And His Non Class College Activities, John A. Call

Theses and Dissertations

Past research indicates that the number of students in a high school is related to the students' behaviors and subjective experiences. Students of small schools, vis-a-vis students of large schools (1) enter more different kinds of activities, (2) hold more responsible positions, and (3) experience more satisfactions in connection with their nonclass activities. Thus, the question was raised whether or not this higher rate of high school nonacademic achievement among students from small high schools had any more or less permanent effects on the student's college nonclass activities.

The Non Class College Setting (NCCS) Questionnaire was devised and administered to …

Histological Changes In The Rat's Spleen Induced By Selected Anesthetic Agents, Donald R. Fowler

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine what histological parameters of the rat's spleen were altered as a result of the anesthetic agent used. It also was desired to determine which anesthetic agent might be the most suitable to use in a transillumination study of the microcirculation of the living rat's spleen.

It was found that sodium Amytal administered intraperitoneally results in splenic dilatation. Chloral hydrate and sodium thiopental, given intraperitoneally, resulted in splenic contraction. Penthrane, ether, and chloroform administered by inhalation technique also resulted in splenic contraction. Penthrane and chloral hydrate while producing splenic contraction appear to do …

Effects Of Repression-Sensitization, Arousal, And Sex On Physical Aggression, Richard J. Moser

Theses and Dissertations

In the past two decades, numerous experiments have focused on a wide variety of situational factors influencing the arousal, intensity, and direction of aggressive behavior. In contrast, few studies have considered the role of individual difference variables in producing aggression. The present study was concerned with a personality variable which theoretically should have some relevance to the expression of physical aggression. This variable was repression-sensitization (R-S) as measured'by the revised Repress ion-Sensitization Scale (Byrne, Barry, and Nelson, 1963). In an attempt to improve upon the predictive validity of R-S, defensive and nondefensive repressors were differentiated through the use of Marlowe-Crowne …

A Comparison Of Secretaries' And Feminists' Attitudes Toward Traditional And Non-Traditional Female Roles, Susan Higgins

Theses and Dissertations

This investigation was designed to study current attitudes of women to female roles. An adapted form of the Maferr Inventory of Feminine Values was given to 23 full-time secretaries and 19 feminist women.

Adolescent 4-8 Mmpi Profiles: Prediction From A Taxonomic Class, Douglas L. Hippe

Theses and Dissertations

Throughout the past two decades of MMPI research minimal effort has been directed toward adolescent populations. Notable exceptions to this have been the pioneering works of Hathaway and Monachesi (1951, 1953, 1957, 1960, 1963), and the later prediction studies concerning subtypes of delinquents, emotionally disturbed adolescents and most recently, drug abusers. Characteristic of all this research was a focus on the study or demonstration of the MMPI itself and its ability to differentiate personality types that the test does in fact identify. The most frequently occurring profile type uncovered by these studies appears to have been the 4-8 configuration. Some …

Multiple Unit Correlates Of Discrimination Learning In Rats, Lynn C. Conrad

Theses and Dissertations

Multiple unit recording is a relatively new electrophysiological recording technique which records spike potentials from many neurons. In several laboratories, systematic changes have been observed during classical and instrumental conditioning but none under other conditioning procedures. The present study attempts to extend the method of multiple unit recording to discrimination learning using rats as experimental animals.

Five permanent electrodes were implanted in each of six rats. The sites implanted were the dorsal medial hypothalamus, the amygdaloid complex, the reticular formation, the medial geniculate, and the inferior colliculus. The animals were subjected to discrimination training which utilized tone as the auditory …

A Comparison Of The Self-Concepts Of Institutionalized Delinquents, Non-Institutionalized Delinquents, And Non-Delinquents, Franklin D. Deforest

Theses and Dissertations

On the basis of previous theorizing and empirical research, it seems that the self-concept may be a highly relevant factor in the understanding and containment of delinquent behavior. However, as Rubin (1970) has noted, there remains some doubt as to the effectiveness of existing treatment programs in promoting a change in the delinquent's self-concept structure which will be lasting and lead to a more adaptive response to the normal social environment. Therefore the present investigation proposes to show that there exist fundamental differences between the self-concepts of delinquents, both institutionalized and non-institutionalized, and non-delinquents. These differences can then be assumed …
