Equivalence Of Personality Structure In Leary's Interpersonal System Of Diagnosis., James Leroy Truckenmiller

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The Leary system of interpersonal diagnosis was introduced in its entirety during 1957 as a descriptive alternative to traditional psychiatric assessment involving interpersonal behavior. It attempts to provide a conceptual and measurement framework by removing rating discrepancies among data sources from the realm of undesirable distortions vis-a-vis "True" traits, and by relating these discrepancies to processes such as conflict and identification in an operational fashion. The basic premise supporting operational definitions such as conflict and identification requires that the structural interrelations of interpersonal variables be similar regardless of the data source from which obtained. If this premise were to hold, …

During this time the popular inclination has been to accept the age as Permian without serious question. The present study of fossil spores and pollen substantiates an Upper Pennsylvanian rather than a Permian age for the entire sequence of strata called the Dunkard Group.

The Strength And Stiffness Of Steel Deck Subjected To In-Plane Loading., Duane Scott Ellifritt Jan 1970

The Strength And Stiffness Of Steel Deck Subjected To In-Plane Loading., Duane Scott Ellifritt

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Steel deck is widely used in the floors and roofs of steel framed structures to support gravity loads. In addition, it can effectively resist in-plane shear loading when properly connected to a structural steel framework and can help to brace a building against lateral forces. This feature of steel deck floors and roofs has long been recognized but, with few exceptions, designers have not been able to take advantage of it because design formulas have not been available. This investigation was undertaken for the purpose of evaluating the performance of wide, narrow, and intermediate rib decks when used as shear-resistant …

Anxiety Control As A Function Of Instructional Modifications In Paired-Associate Learning., Jean Beverly Peltonen Jan 1969

Anxiety Control As A Function Of Instructional Modifications In Paired-Associate Learning., Jean Beverly Peltonen

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The purpose of this study is to test the anxietyinhibiting effects of two modifications in traditional instructions for paired-associate learning. It will be assumed that effective anxiety-inhibition will be evidenced by a significant decline in the number of trials required for subjects to arrive at a common learning criterion. Tha two instructional modifications to be tested ara specifically: (1) Requiring subjects to delay responding aloud for an established number of list presentations (as opposed to permitting immediate responses), and (2) Informing subjects that capable individuals frequently experience considerable frustration before mastering the task with which they will be presented.

Mechanical Properties Of The Head, Richard Lynn Stalnaker Jan 1969

Mechanical Properties Of The Head, Richard Lynn Stalnaker

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The purpose of this research is to provide basic information hitherto unavailable concerning the mechanical responses of the whole head and brain considered as a system. The long range goals of this program are to develop suitable instrumentation and experimental techniques that can be utilized in the development of a material candidate for substitution of brain in an artificial head, and methods of comparing the overall responses of the artificial head with those of a human head.
