Differences And Similarities In Role Perception Among Practicing School Counselors, School Psychologists, And School Social Workers, Rodney G. Cox

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Today there is much discussion about the functions of various school personnel specialists. Because of the rapid growth of these specialists—the counselor, the psychologists, and the social worker—many questions are being asked, such as: Should guidance workers be generalists or specialists? What certification requirements should be met? Should the three disciplines—counselors, psychologists, and social workers—work as a team or individually? Finally, should counselors, psychologists, and social workers teach as part of their function in the school?

An analysis of the extent of overlap between the functions of the three disciplines requires the consideration of professional preparation, ascribed roles, and primary …

Urban Land Use--A Geographic Case Study: Cedar City, Utah, Rex J. Hulet

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The purposes of this study are: ( 1) to better understand the impact that accelerated urban growth is having on the city as a place for man to live and work; (2) to gain knowledge of the interrelationships between urban planning, zoning, and land use; (3) because most land use studies that are available have been made on cities of more than 50,000, this study will attempt to acquire some knowledge of land utilization on a small city of less than 10,000 inhabitants; (4) to gain firsthand experience in compiling a land use survey and map; and (5) to draw …

Historical Geography Of The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe Of Indians, Eloise Wilson

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical and cultural relationships which does nOW and has existed between the Ute Mountain Utes, presently located in southwestern Colorado , and their land base through time . This is especially interesting in relation to the Ute Mountain Utes as they originally were considered to be one of the most poorly endowed of the American Indians, but through a series of fortuitous events closely related to their land they are now considered to be the second wealthiest Indian tribe in the United States (Dutton, 1965, p . 6?) .

Ideal Family Size And Acceptable Contraceptive Devices: A Study Of L.D.S. Student Attitudes At Utah State University, Robert Ray Weber

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

This study was undertaken because of the seemingly large families of the Mormons in Logan, Utah. Until this year I had never been in an area where Mormons made up a significant proportion of the population and had not realized the apparent difference in family size when compared to non-Mormons.

As a member of the Experienced Teacher Fellowship Program, I also had occasion to take two classes in Marriage and Family in the Family Life College at the University, and this also stirred my interest in the subject.

In the process of reviewing the literature on family size (fertility) and …

Marriage Role Perceptions Of Husbands And Wives Separated By The Vietnam War, Ella Arlene Bentson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose was to determine how husbands and wives who had been separated because of the war in Vietnam perceived each other during separation. Martial roles were used as the vehicle to convey perception.

A random sample of Jl couples was selected from among the married officers and enlisted men of Marine All Weather Attack Squadron 225 which was based at DaNang, South Vietnam. A questionnaire designed to determine perception of spouse was sent to men in Vietnam and to their wives who resided in various parts of the United States.

The major findings are summarized as follows:

The Utah Black Hawk War 1865-1871, Deloy J. Spencer

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

From 1865 until 1871 the Territory of Utah was the scene of a little-known war. The Ute and Piute Indians responding to pressure of white settlers devastated much of Utah south of Spanish Fork. During the first three years of warfare the Mormon Settlements south of the Utah Valley struggled to exist. The next three years saw improving conditions but a continuation of raids by the Navaho in the south.

This was a private war. Attempts to get government aid were futile. The settlers and the Mormon Church provided the men and equipment necessary. While the problems faced by the …

Teaching Experience: A Prerequisite For Effective Counselor Performance?, Carole G. Sorensen

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Purpose of the study

Previous teaching experience is one of the most discussed issues in today's pupil personnel services. We find ourselves in the milieu of a controversy in which we have advocates of one camp who propose that teaching experience can be a handicap in the effectiveness of a counselor; and in the other camp, that teaching experience is a vital prerequisite for counselor effectiveness.

The controversy has reached such proportions that some states, which previously held teaching experience as a necessary requirement for counselor certification, have either changed certification requirements or have worked around the issue by accepting …

Fertility And Family Planning Among Navajo Indian Recipients Of Public Welfare Assistance In Southeastern Utah, Gary Morris Shaffer

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A fertility and family planning survey was conducted among the recipients of pub lie welfare ass i stance in San Juan County, Utah. Two hundred twenty-five recipient families out of some 536 families on the list were interviewed during May and June of 1968 by nine graduate and undergraduate students in Sociology and Social Work with the help of Social Welfare workers and Navajo interpreters.

The study was primarily concerned with the following objectives: (1) to study the level and age patterns of fertility of a group of selected Navajo Indians, (2) to investigate the factors which might affect the …

A Study Of The Difference In Short-Term Memory Between Seventh Grade Students Rated High And Low In The Ability To Acquire Sport Skills, Vera Jeppesen Watkins

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This study investigated the possibility that the short-term memory factor may be one of the variables involved in the learning of motor skills.

The subjects of the study were all of the seventh grade gym students at Logan Junior High School who were rated by their teachers as being in the upper or lower one-fourth of their class in respect to their abilities in sport skills. After a short-term memory (STM) test developed by the researcher was administered to this group, their scores were compared to determine whether there was a significant difference between the upper and lower one-fourth.

Communication Patterns And Other Variables Within The Lds Family Which Influence The Development Of The Family Home Evening Program, Arthur Don Crane

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

During the 1965-66 school year a study was made of 250 ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students attending the West Seminary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Brigham City. The object was to determine the extent to which the Latter-day Saint families in this area were holding the Family Horne Evening Program and what variables influenced their participation.

Sixty percent of those interviewed said they participated in the Family Horne Evening Program when it was first introduced to the Church membership. Eight months later participation had dropped to 40 percent. It was found that patterns …

A Study Of The Reasons For The Salary Differential Between Professional Staff Members At The University Of Utah And Utah State University, Terrance R. Volb

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Salary differentials by rank were studied at the University of Utah and Utah State University on a departmental basis.

Multiple regression equations were developed from criteria at Utah State University which were used to predict individual salaries for professional staff members at the University of Utah. Thirteen of the fourteen multiple regression equations developed showed statistical significance at the .05 level and twelve departments were significant at the .01 level.

Salary comparisons by rank were considerably reduced as a result of the department by department analysis.

The Attitudes Of Caseworkers And Supervisors Employed By County Welfare Departments In Box Elder, Cache, And Weber Counties Toward Public Assistance, Mardell Lorene Fayer

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Attitudes of caseworkers and supervisors in public welfare agencies were studied with regard to the following subjects: (1) the public assistance program in Utah, (2) the welfare recipient, (3) family planning as a means of dealing with poverty, (4) government participation in the public assistance program, (5) methods of rehabilitation, (6) community support of welfare agency, and (7) positive and negative aspects of casework. Data were analyzed statistically with regard to age, education, political preference, and sex. An analysis of variance was made, and the F test applied to determine significance levels.

Caseworkers and supervisors responded positively toward the public …

The Attitudes Of Logan City, Utah Toward Ethnic Minority Groups With Special Emphasis On The Negro, Ella D. Lewis Douglas

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

One major purpose of the research conducted by human relations agencies has been to determine the correlates of prejudice. The analysis of data has persistently aimed at identifying those groups within the population among whom the incidence of prejudice is higher. If such groups can be identified, programs to reduce prejudice can be designed especially for them. However, there is a strong feeling in the American society that certain groups, in the population are congenitally inferior to others. These are the ethnic minority groups, such as the Negro, the Spanish-American, the Oriental, the Jew, and the American Indian. Such a …

Negro Historiography With Special Emphasis On Negro Historians Of The New School, Ella D. Lewis Douglas

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Except for an occasional Nat Turner, Booker T. Washington, or George W. Carver, the Negro as a person is missing from the textbooks from which the millions learn their history. The race has bulked large as a theme in American historiography, but such treatment has been largely preoccupied with Negroes en masse and as a "problem," and has rarely extended to individual, creative Negroes and their contributions to American society. It may be supposed that white, college-bred Americans can identify very few of the most celebrated Negroes who attained prominence of some sort before World War I.

The Establishment And First Six Months Of The Civilian Conservation Corps And Joe Hill, Wobbly Martyr Of Utah, Clifford G. O'Harrow

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

One of the most generally admired New Deal Agencies reflected the fact that Franklin D. Roosevelt, like his cousin Theodore was an ardent conservationist. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) by providing job relief to the people. However, most of the work was carried on in the more remote areas of the states and thus escaped day to day scrutiny. The completed conservation tasks were to stand as proof of accomplishment. Most histories dismiss the CCC with a paragraph and perhaps a picture of some boys planting trees; however, 2,400,000 young men and 145,000 war veterans served in camps of the …

A Study Of Life Crisis Magnitude Of Psychiatric Patients And A Non-Therapy Group, Helen B. Morris

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A group of hospitalized psychiatric patients and a randomly selected non-therapy group responded to the Schedule of Recent Experiences questionniare. In order to determine the magnitude of life change events for the two groups, Life Change Unit totals were derived for the years 1966 and 1967.

To test the hypothesis that patients in psychiatric treatment have experienced a quantitatively significant greater amount of life change than a group of non-therapy subjects, an analysis of variance was used to determine whether there were significant differences between the scores for the two groups.

For the year 1966, no significant difference was found …

An Investigation Of Methods For Estimating Marginal Values Of Irrigation Water, Richard L. Johnson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Marginal values of water used in irrigation are needed if water is to be optimally allocated among alternative uses. Cobb-Douglas production function analysis and linear programming methods were studied in this investigation to find their fruit-fulness in predicting these marginal values. The theoretical properties of both methods indicate that they are conceptually capable of yielding valid marginal value estimates for irrigation water.

Further investigation of the two methods was carried out as an empirical test in the Milford area of Utah. Marginal values of water used for irrigation in that area were estimated by both procedures. Although inviolable criteria for …

Implications Of Absentee Courtships, William Rolfe Kerr

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In our society today the progress of many courtships and engagements is interrupted by separations of varying periods of time and for various reasons. Hill (1949) found that wartime family separations cause a two-dimensional crisis constituting a hazard to the continuance of the relationship both at the time of separation and at the time of reunion. The assumption is made that a courtship would be affected in a similar way. Blood (1963, p. 161) says,

Both partners change somewhat while they are apart. This is not due to the separation alone, however, for personality changes go on constantly. When people …
