Constant X Of The Alcoholic Personality: A Research Study On The Personality Factor In Alcoholism, Jean Carpenter

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Introduction

The problem of alcoholism is one of the oldest problems in the history of mankind. Today it ranks world-wide as a major public health problem. Yet, constructive study and research on the subject did not gain much momentum until about 1935.

With the organization of Alcoholism Anonymous in 1935, the awareness of the problem spread, fanwise, throughout the fields of religion, medicine, and psychiatry. Alcohol had once presented a baffling and seemingly unanswerable enigma. But now there was a glimmering of hope in each of these separate fields that the answers might lie within its own particular …

A Survey Of Current Techniques For Selecting First-Line Supervisors In Industry, Linford A. Sutherland

Masters Theses

Introduction

The purpose of this investigation is to show to what extent the selection of supervisors is still based on subjective opinion, and to what extent objective devices have been developed and have gained acceptance.

The collection of relevant data for this survey involves a search of the published literature in the field. In this work the terms first-line supervisor, foreman, and supervisor will be used interchangeably.

The writer's interest in the area of supervisory selection was aroused after reading several articles on the problem of selecting factory supervisors of the highest caliber as industry now realizes that the supervisory …

The First British Labor Government 1924, Donald Black

Masters Theses

Introduction

In 1924, the Labor Part, assumed control or Britain's political destinies for the first time. Although its tenure or office was brief, from February through October of that year, it marked an important milestone in the slow, unrelenting progress of democratic socialism in the British political spectrum after the conclusion of World War I. Not only did it reveal that Labor could assume its role as an effective opposition Party, but also that Labor had the capacity to govern in a difficult and perplexing era.

A Study Of Figural After-Effects In The Inverted-“T”-Illusion, Wayne H. Bartz

Masters Theses

Introduction

The term figural after-effect refers to the spatial displacement of a visual figure induced by the inspection of a prior figure. In the figural after-effect paradigm, an observer fixates on a figure called the inspection figure for some time. Fixation is then shifted to a test figure. Any spatial displacement in the test (second) figure is termed the figural after-effect. Generally, maximal figural after-effects are attained with 60 second inspection followed immediately by short test figure exposure (Hammer, 1949; Graham, 1951; Krauskopf, 1954; Parducci and Brookshire, 1956; Sagara and Oyama, 1957; and Kohler and Wallach, 1944). This study is …

The Conception Of The Proper Work Of A Missionary In The Correspondence Of Boniface, Albert Crawford

Masters Theses

First Paragraph:

The seventh through the tenth centuries witnessed a great expansion of the Roman Catholic Church to the north into lands that were partially or completely pagan. As one of the great missionary periods of the Church it demands the attention of the Church historian. As an important step in the civilization of Europe it demands the attention of the secular historian, as an expression of the contemporary doctrine of the nature of the Church and what is essential for the expansion of that Church into other cultures, it demands the attention of the theologian. The importance of this …

An Investigation Of The Horizontal-Vertical Illusion, Frederick J. Boersma

Masters Theses

Experimenters have used the inverted "T" to illustrate the horizontal-vertical illusion for many years. This illusion is characterized by the subject perceiving the horizontal line as shorter than the vertical line.

Credit is usually given to Fick (1851) for being first to call attention to the discrepancy between horizontal and vertical estimates. He demonstrated this by visually noticing that a bright square on a dark background looks like an oblong object. Hicks (1906) stated that Oppel was the first person to actually investigate the horizontal-vertical illusion.

The classical theory generally states that an equal length vertical line in a "T" …

Beliefs And Attitudes Of Recent High School Graduates On The Subject Of Beverage Alcohol, Francis E. Chape

Masters Theses

Introduction

During recent years, many investigations concerning the teen-ager and beverage alcohol have been carried out. A survey of the available literature on this subject revealed that most of the studies have been made to determine the attitudes toward drinking and the drinking behavior of this age group. These studies, Maddox¹ states, provide "The basis for generalizations about drinking in high school which are more substantial than impressionistic guesses."

Generalizations, however, have not been limited to drinking behavior alone. Alcohol education programs, required by law in every state in the union,² have received much criticism in recent times. …
