A Validation Study Of The Beck Word-Color Association Test With The Minnesota Counseling Inventory, Camilla Russell Bernauer

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Educators are always alert and watchful for new and better instruments of measurement to be used in serving the student in gaining new insights into his concept of self. Of all the areas of individual differences which lend themselves to testing there is none in greater need of development than that of personality assessment. Any new test, any new approach to this assessment, is worthy of careful research and analysis. While studying at the State College of Iowa, the writer was introduced to the Beck Word-Color Association Test. In the analysis of two gifted boys in Cedar Falls, Iowa, it …

Adaptation As Related To The Introversion-Extroversion Dimension, Earl D. Scott, David Wilkinson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Thirteen young adult men were given a test for introversion-extroversion. They were then tested to determine the number of presentations of a noxious stimulus which was required for adaption to the stimulus to take place, as measured by the galvanic skin response. It was found that extroverts adapted with significantly fewer stimulus presentations than did introverts. The results were related to Eysenck's theory concerning the introversion-extroversion dimension and conditionability.

A Study Of Selected Employers’ Opinions Regarding The Terminal Education Programs Of Secondary Schools In Davenport, Iowa, Gerald Dwight Clemmensen

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

One of the failings of American education today is its inability to meet the needs of the average student in high school. Because of this failing, many young people, mostly boys, will drop out of high school sometime between beginning the tenth grade and finishing the twelfth grade. Because American education does not meet the needs of the average student, many youths, job hunting immediately following graduation from high school, will face a more difficult time in locating some type of employment than their elders did during the early 1930's.

Bar Press Behavior Reinforced By Pup Retrieval, N. F. Viemeister, J. Pierce, D. W. Tyler

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A method was developed to test the reinforcing effects of pup retrieval on the behavior of lactating female rats. A modified bar press chamber was employed. One section of the chamber served as the nest area for the mother and young. The female was taught to bar press in order to be admitted to a retrieving area containing a pup which the female could retrieve and return to the nest. The results indicated that high and sustained rates of bar pressing could he obtained using pup retrieval as the reinforcing event. The data obtained using this method were discussed in …

Differences In Class Rank Between Boys And Girls In Graduating Classes Of Iowa Public Secondary Schools, Dave John Cook

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

For many years, educators have noted that girls seem to attain higher class rank than boys while attending secondary schools. It appears that this idea has been accepted a priori and that little research effort has been put forth to determine the magnitude of the differences which exist. It is a matter of conjecture at the present time as to how great the differences must be before they will be considered to be serious problems.

It was the purpose of this study (1) to determine whether significant differences existed between the class standing of boys and the class standing of …

Effects Of Stimulus Meaningfulness On Star Discrimeter Performance, R. H. Peters

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In a motor task provided by the Star Discrimeter, Ss learned to move a wobble stick into channels corresponding to six verbal stimuli. Two levels of stimulus meaningfulness (M) were used. The stimuli for the high M group were words, and the stimuli for the low M group were paralogs. Prior to motor task learning, 30 of the 60 Ss in each M group received relevant stimulus familiarization training. The S pronounced each dissyllable 20 times. The remaining Ss received irrelevant familiarization training. The S pronounced the name of six common shapes 20 times each. The results indicated that both …

Your Teen-Ager And The School Counselor: A Handbook For Parents, Donald Lee Bennink

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Public Law 85-864 was signed by the President of the United States on September 2, 1958. This law, known as the National Defense Education Act (hereafter referred to as NDEA), is composed of ten titles affecting most levels and many phases of education. Its billion dollars, though authorized for a dozen separate programs, have been authorized for a single purpose - that every young person, from the day he first enters school, should have an opportunity to develop his gifts to the fullest. This is the emphasis that gives the Act its name, for it recognizes that in a free …

An Evaluation Of An Inventory Instrument Designed To Measure The Attitudes Of Some Iowa High School Band Students, Joseph Doering Doolittle

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study is an attempt to determine whether an attitude-inventory instrument applicable to high school band students can be developed. The purpose of this study is to gain evidence supporting these general hypotheses: That an attitude inventory can be constructed to measure the responses of high school band students in certain attitude areas. That differences can be found between the responses of high school band students having positive attitudes toward the band program, and those band students having negative attitudes toward the band program. That band directors can discriminate between high school band students having positive and negative attitudes, but …
