Analogue Study Of Pretherapy Disclosure Effects On Potential Clients' Expectations About Counseling: A Psychology 499 Senior Honors Thesis, Steven C. Jett

Honors Theses

Research is increasingly suggesting that therapist and client ratings of greater beneficialI outcomes from therapy are strongly related to client and therapist perceptions of increasing convergence and generally positive expectations before counseling even begins. Using an analogue format, this study attempts to fill a void in the counseling literature by investigating Christian and non-Chiistian subjects' expectations for counseling with a Christian counselor, an agnostic counselor, or a counselor with no specified theistic orientation. After reviewing an analogue counselor description, subjects responded to the modified Brief Form of Tinsley's (1982) Expectations About Counseling questionnaire.

A High School Physics Program Stressing Application To Concept Instead Of The Traditional Concept To Application Approach, William Semrau

Honors Theses

It is well documented that there is a general lack of enthusiasm displayed by most high school students towards the sciences. Questions such as "Why are we studying this, I'll never use it?", "This is boring.", and "How does this relate to the real world?" are common in the classroom. This study seeks answers to why so many students feel this way, what has been done to improve student attitudes and interest, and includes recommendations to improve high school science education, particularly in physics.

Efficacious Impression Management In Minority Recruitment And Retention Practices, Amy L. Kristof

Honors Theses

The present study suggests impression management strategies that companies can use to more effectively recruit and retain minority workers. As the workforce composition changes over the next ten years, the need for companies to attract and retain qualified diverse workers will become increasingly important. The present study focused on two minority groups, women and senior citizens. These minority workers were asked to rate the importance of suggestions given by personnel adminstrators, as to what things would attract members of their minority group to an organization. Both groups cited honesty, fair treatment, and hiring and promotion based on ability and not …

Crime And The Common Law In England, 1580-1640, Cara Swinden Apr 1992

Crime And The Common Law In England, 1580-1640, Cara Swinden

Honors Theses

In this paper, I have endeavored to illustrate many of the forms of crime committed during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. I have also attempted to show the role of local people in the law. The workings of the common law of England have been simplified to outline the investigations, the trials, and the punishments received by felons and trespassers. Much of my research came from original manuscripts. Therefore, I have retained the original spellings, word order, and phrases, neither correcting nor modernizing the words, word order, or phrases, of the quotations and excerpts from those original manuscripts.

'Peace: A Gift Of God, A Human Task': Toward A Liberation Theology For Northern Ireland, David Miles Moore Jan 1992

'Peace: A Gift Of God, A Human Task': Toward A Liberation Theology For Northern Ireland, David Miles Moore

Honors Theses

PREFACE: I would have to cite the five months I spent in Cork, Ireland as the biggest motivating factor behind this paper. I knew next to nothing about Northern Ireland before this period. Soon after my arrival in Cork, however, I became fascinated with the socio-religious anomaly to the north of me. Since I became a religion major at Colby, I have always been interested in liberation theology. As I read about the poverty, injustice and violence that pervades Northern Ireland, I was reminded of the context in which Gustavo Gutierrez, Tissa Balasuriya, and Elsa Tamez write and live. The …

Soybean Tolerance To Simulated Drift Rates Of Accent And Beacon, John A. Bailey Dec 1991

Soybean Tolerance To Simulated Drift Rates Of Accent And Beacon, John A. Bailey

Honors Theses

Accent and Beacon, both recently labeled postemergent corn herbicides, were applied at ' simulated' drift rates to soybeans at the V3 and R1 development stages. Drift rates were simulated by applying 10 to 50% of the respective labeled rate for each herbicide. Injury was more evident at the V3 stage than at the R1 stage for both herbicides. Injury caused by Beacon was significantly greater than with Accent for both applications, and appears to be a considerable threat for high-risk drift situations when applied near soybeans. Each herbicide exhibited specific, characteristic symptoms of injury that clearly coincided with increases in …

The Effects Of Perceived Consequences On Ethical Decisions, Eldean Gwen Cornish Nov 1991

The Effects Of Perceived Consequences On Ethical Decisions, Eldean Gwen Cornish

Honors Theses

Increasing public awareness of ethics in business, or a lack thereof, has inspired an abundance of study, research and a variety of theories regarding ethics and has encouraged many firms and associations to establish corporate and professional codes of ethics. This thesis begins with a literature review surrounding the definition of ethics and ethical decision-making behavior. The Theory of Reasoned Action model designed by Fishbein and Ajzen (1975) proposed a linkage of external variables and an individual's behavioral intention (Randall, 1989), the theory being that change is ultimately a result of changes in beliefs. Tests to predict behavior suffer from …

Student's Perceptions And Experiences Of Sexual Harassment At The University Of Tennessee At Chattanooga, Wendy W. Davis Nov 1991

Student's Perceptions And Experiences Of Sexual Harassment At The University Of Tennessee At Chattanooga, Wendy W. Davis

Honors Theses

This research was conducted to examine students' perceptions and experiences of sexual harassment in higher education. The study was designed and administered in such a way as to address four concerns which have not been effectively handled in previous studies. These specific concerns are as follows: (a) the nonrandom selection of students, (b) the exclusion of males in samples, (c) the limited number of research methods used, and (d) the lack of a standardized definition for sexual harassment. The first three issues focus on the need to obtain representative samples of the college population.

Buddhist Rebirth: A Survey Of Pre-Modern Asian Thought, Tiffany L. Severns May 1991

Buddhist Rebirth: A Survey Of Pre-Modern Asian Thought, Tiffany L. Severns

Honors Theses

In an attempt to display the range of concerns and interests regarding rebirth, I plan to make a brief and sampled survey of a few select schools and sects of Buddhism. More emphasis will be placed on Indian Buddhism as it was here that much of the debates raged and were settled for the descendant forms of Buddhism in other parts of the globe, namely China and Japan. Special consideration will be given, however, to Tibetan and Pure Land schools as their understandings of or interest in rebirth vary significantly from that of traditional Indic-Buddhist views. While contemporary scholars, particularly …

Ultimately, a legislator faces a paradox in respect to the type of representative and political roles he or she chooses.

A Critique Of The Southern Baptist Sunday School's Attitude Toward Children Based On Current And Historical Analyses, Amy Joyner Apr 1991

A Critique Of The Southern Baptist Sunday School's Attitude Toward Children Based On Current And Historical Analyses, Amy Joyner

Honors Theses

Sunday School, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. For some, Sunday School elicits a host of positive memories and current images: playing games, making bread, singing songs, coloring, reciting memory verses, studying Scripture, enjoying refreshments, talking with friends, laughing and sharing. For others, Sunday School is simply a waste of time. In fact, in 1957 Life magazine labeled Sunday School ''the most wasted hour of the week." It seems that more and more Americans in recent decades have agreed with this pronouncement, for Sunday School attendance among mainline denominations has continued to drop at a steady rate. …

Inventory Ordering Decisions Over The Product Life Cycle, Matthew J. Seiler Apr 1991

Inventory Ordering Decisions Over The Product Life Cycle, Matthew J. Seiler

Honors Theses

This report will link two key business concepts together. It will first examine the characteristics of different inventory replenishment systems used by purchasing managers. Second, it will bring the marketing phenomenon of the product life cycle into the picture. The varying demand patterns found in a typical product life cycle curve will become test data for a simulation exercise to determine which of four ordering models yield the lowest combination of holding and ordering costs. The costs related to holding finished good inventories account for a large portion of a firm's total cost structure (Adam and Ebert, 1989). To stay …
