Suicide: the act of killing one's self intentionally. The word reaches out and grabs every one of us who reads or hears it. It is a word which is at the very heart of our innermost fears. Suicide is an action which has been romantically praised in western culture by William Shakespeare in "Romeo and Juliet." It has been glorified in the eastern culture through the ritual of Hari-kiri and also in the kamakazi mission of death. "Suicide, which once ranked twenty-second on the list of causes of death in the United States, now rates tenth, and in some states …

Graduate Research Papers

In today's industry, motivation is a primary factor in performance (Glueck, 1977). Motivation. not only comes into play with the extrinsic factors of the working conditions but also deals with the intrinsic factors of the individual in question.

Production reports show the physical changes (i.e., production quotas go down) but what causes these changes? How does it affect industry and how can industry help their employees at middle age?

An Investigation Of Differences In Frequency Of Health Problems Between Internally And Externally Oriented College Students, Stephen Kent Klein

Graduate Research Papers

During the past 15 to 20 years there has been a great deal of personality research on the concept of internal, versus external control of reinforcement, or locus of control. A major portion of the research is probably explained by the availability of the Rotter Internal-External Control Scale. Locus of control has not just been limited to a "measurable" concept in psychology; it has also been associated and applied to current social concerns and problems. Much of the research in personality and social psychology today is problem oriented. Some of the topics and concerns are mastery and control over the …

Iowa Prairie - An Endangered Ecosystem, Daryl D. Smith

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Prior to Euro-American settlement 85% of Iowa was occupied by prairie. Today less than 0.02% of pre-settlement prairie remains; a few small remnants are scattered across the original 30 million acres. Settlement of Iowa was rapid; most of the prairie was converted to cropland by the end of the 19th century. Since prairie preservation activities were initiated in the 1930's, a number of prairie remnants have been preserved by public and private agencies. Iowa needs to be surveyed and inventoried so that the significant remaining prairie remnants can be located and preserved. Recent prairie preservation efforts have been supplemented with …

Graduate Research Papers

The closing of the decade of the 70's has also brought with it the closing of an era in American History, the baby boom era.

The early 70's saw these young adults, in numbers the likes of which this country has never before seen, entering a highly competitive and highly specialized job market. Due to advances in technology and an ever increasing amount of knowledge these young adults are now demanding of society …

A Post-Hoc Analysis Of Factors Contributing To The Preponderance Of Males In Learning Disabilities, Roger Joseph Piwowarski

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The present study assessed the efficacy of specific classes of variables (Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Extrapersonal) for the explanation of the preponderance of males in learning disabilities placements (LO). Factors were selected which represented a cross-section of variable classes and included behavioral, genetic, and physiological factors. A large number of variables were included to facilitate a relationship between the present study and the many mutually exclusive theories of LO. A significant purpose of the present study was to examine the applicability of specific theories of LO to an actual population. An examination was made of the case histories of a complete population …

Interpersonal Aggression: Assertion Of Significant Reality Hypothesis, Dwight Alan Drury

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Interpersonal aggression is analyzed with the use of the symbolic interactionist perspective in this thesis. The literature generally lacks such an analysis. Symbolic interactionism views individuals as active definers and constructors of a reality. Individuals gain a sense of reality and the means by which to define it through the process of being socialized into various groups. That part of reality which is most important to the individual is termed "significant reality." A major part of an individual's "significant reality" is his or her self-concept. When an individual deems his or her "significant reality" is threatened, he or she may …
