Differential Reinforcement Of Fixed-Interval Interresponse Times: Effects On Choice., Tammy Renee Wade

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Eight rats were exposed to a concurrent-chains procedure. Half of the rats chose between a fixed-interval schedule that required low rates of responding in the paced terminal link and a simple fixed-interval schedule in the unpaced terminal link. The other half chose between a fixed-interval schedule that required high rates of responding and a simple fixed-interval schedule. Interresponse-time criteria were based on the percentiles of a baseline distribution of interresponse times obtained for each rat. The criteria increased in stringency across conditions. Consistent changes in response rates as the result of the interresponse-time criteria were not obtained. Therefore, preference between …

The Effect Of Training Infant Joint Visual Attention On Novel Word Learning., Melissa S. Atkins

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Joint visual attention is the ability to follow another person's line of vision. This ability develops toward the end of the human infant's first year, but can be trained as early as 8 months of age. Many studies have correlated infant joint visual attention abilities with language development, but there has been no experimental manipulation to determine whether there is a causal relation between joint visual attention and word learning. In the present study, 41 infants between 7.5 and 8.5 months of age were assigned to either the treatment or control group. The treatment group received a joint attention training …

Stereotypes, Intolerance, And Policy Supports For Women, Minorities, And Gays: The Diversity Course Impact On Students Pursuing Higher Education In The Sreb States., Christine J. Brehm

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Problematic stereotyping of women, minorities, and gays in the United States may become justification for prejudicial attitudes that lead to political intolerance toward members of these marginalized groups. While images of others and a sense of political tolerance develop through childhood and preadult socialization, education beyond high school can have a significant impact on one's reliance on stereotypes when considering the granting or withholding of basic civil rights from marginalized members of society, and may also affect the position one takes towards policies created to benefit women, minorities, and gays. During the fall semester of 2000, an investigation of these …

The Effects Of Rumination And Emotional Writing On Heart Rate Recovery Following Anger Recall., Danielle H. Hernandez Jan 2002

The Effects Of Rumination And Emotional Writing On Heart Rate Recovery Following Anger Recall., Danielle H. Hernandez

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Recognizing that stress is related to a variety of psychological and physical health consequences, several studies have examined strategies individuals use to cope with life stressors. Two such strategies are rumination and emotional writing. Although on the surface, these two strategies appear to evoke similar goals (e.g., exposure to negative life events), research has shown that rumination is closely associated with delays in cardiovascular recovery and emotional writing is possibly linked to enhanced cardiovascular recovery from stress. This experiment examined the effects of rumination and emotional writing on heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) recovery from the recall of …

The Dynamics Of Orality, Language, And Identity In David Huet’S Zaza, La Réunion Des Années 50 And Erna Brodber’S Jane And Louisa Will Soon Come Home, Weena Isabelle Gaulin

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study contends that Reunionese and Caribbean identities can be construed in part through an examination of orality and language in the literature of the islands. In preparation for an analysis of the dynamics of Creole and other oral features in Huet`s Zaza, la Réunion des années 50 and Brodber’s Jane and Louisa Will Soon Come Home, some linguistic preliminaries establish Creoles as full-fledged languages, a step that helps explain the post-colonial subject’s behavior towards a language initially imposed by the colonizer. A comparison of the nature, mechanics, and purposes of oral structural devices in the two literary works leads …

"Plots Have I Laid": An Actor's Descent Into The Role Of King Richard Iii., Michael Rashid Jan 2002

"Plots Have I Laid": An Actor's Descent Into The Role Of King Richard Iii., Michael Rashid

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This thesis, written to fulfill the requirements for the Master of Fine Arts degree in Acting, delves into the mind of an actor obsessed by fictional villainy and consumed by the desire to play the title role of William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of King Richard III. It charts the machinations employed to gain the part, as well as the pop-cultural influences and rehearsal process from which the ultimate performance of the role was forged. And as the legend of Richard III is a confounding pastiche of fact and fiction, so is this thesis a work of unapologetic ambiguity

The Big Three As Related To Receiver Apprehension And Listening Behaviors., Jamie Lynn Hayhurst

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The current study examined receiver and listening behaviors from a communibiological point of view. Communibiology proposes that particular communication variables are predictable by individual inborn processes. These inborn processes make up our individual temperament. Therefore, the apprehension variables were measured to determine if they were predicted by temperament. Individual temperament was measured using Eysenck’s Big Three measurement of extroversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism. The dependent variables were then regressed to determine if they were predictable by all three temperament variables and/or by one of individual variables. College undergraduates (N = 325) voluntarily participated in the study. Results indicate mixed support for …

A History Of Jewish Life In The Central Appalachian Coalfields, 1870s To 1970s., Deborah R. Weiner

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study explores the intersection of two historical phenomena. From the 1880s to the 1920s, Central Appalachia experienced rapid industrial development as the entry of railroads into the mountains initiated large-scale coal extraction. At the same time, East European Jewish immigrants streamed into America's eastern seaboard. Some found their way to the coalfields, where they carved out a role as retailers in an expanding rural-industrial economy. This niche enabled them to build several small but vital Jewish communities which lasted late into the twentieth century. Their economic position facilitated the entry of Jews into the coalfield middle class and made …
