The Effect Of Live Music Versus Tape-Recorded Music On Participation Rates Of Two Populations, Sara F. Flink
The Effect Of Live Music Versus Tape-Recorded Music On Participation Rates Of Two Populations, Sara F. Flink
Honors Theses
For a number of years, differences have existed in the training of music therapists. In some countries, music therapists are trained first and foremost as musicians, and secondly as therapists. Other countries allow music therapy to be practiced by music psychologists, physicians, or educators. Both sides employ varying arguments. Bunt (1988) feels that therapists are either experienced musicians with minimal training in developmental, therapeutic skills, or experienced clinicians lacking in many areas of musical expertise. Bunt further delineates between the two schools of thought by describing how one music therapist may use improvisation to interact with a client and his …

19th Century German Immigration To America: Paul Müller's Search For A Better Way Of Life, Tina Marie Schrader
19th Century German Immigration To America: Paul Müller's Search For A Better Way Of Life, Tina Marie Schrader
Honors Theses
From the 17th century up until 1890, individuals of German ethnic origin outnumbered immigrants from any other country to America. These immigrants to the United States had contributed greatly to the economic growth of this country and to many of the traditions and customs still celebrated today. One emigrant of German ethnic origin, Paul Müller, chose to seek this land of new opportunity in 1862 with his large and growing family. As a descendent of Paul Müller, I have taken an interest in his life in the Old Country and in America, including the area he finally chose to call …
The Effects Of Locus Of Control And Death Education On Death Attitudes, Lydia A. Williams
The Effects Of Locus Of Control And Death Education On Death Attitudes, Lydia A. Williams
Honors Theses
The relationship of locus of control and death education on death attitudes was examined across a population of college students. Students beginning a death education course, students finishing a death education course, and mortuary science students, completed Rotter's I-E scale, Hardt's Death Attitude Scale, and questions on personal beliefs. No significant difference of death attitude was found between the three groups, although internality was found to be significantly correlated to favorable death attitude. Statistical analysis did not support the hypothesis that death education positively affects death attitudes, however, the data do reveal that those individuals with an internal locus of …
Living In Wayside, Amy L. Perry
Attitudes Toward The Non-Traditional Male Role, Angela R. Scherrer
Attitudes Toward The Non-Traditional Male Role, Angela R. Scherrer
Honors Theses
Attitudes about the non-traditional male role, defined as participation in housework and childcare, and willingness to accept financial assistance from a woman, were investigated. Sex-role identification (determined by the Bem Sex-Role Inventory) and involvement in a serious relationship with a woman were examined as possible factors influencing attitudes about the non-traditional male role. Two hypotheses were investigated and supported: (1) Men in a serious relationship have more positive attitudes toward the non-traditional male role than men not in a serious relationship, and (2) For sex-role identification, feminine men have more positive attitudes about the non-traditional male role than masculine men, …

The Appeals Of Athletic Shoe Advertisements To Teens, Shari Lynn Tayloe
The Appeals Of Athletic Shoe Advertisements To Teens, Shari Lynn Tayloe
Honors Theses
Studying the structure and the effectiveness of ads can suggest how and why advertisers' commercials appeal to consumers. Narrowing this study down to one medium-television, one product--athletic shoes, and one audience-teenagers, can better identify commercials' appeals and their effectiveness. The study of television athletic shoe advertisements, as viewed by teenagers, provides primary data about both the ads themselves and about their appeals to the 15- to 18-year-old audience.
The Changing Roles Of Women In The People's Republic Of China, Priya Helweg
The Changing Roles Of Women In The People's Republic Of China, Priya Helweg
Honors Theses
The present Chinese government has persistently claimed that women have been completely emancipated through the enforcement of Communist ideology. In spite of the claim that women in modern China 'hold up half the sky' traditional beliefs continue to influence the position of women in contemporary China. As a consequence, women in the People's Republic of China — especially students — find themselves in a situation of confusing contradictions and frustrating obstacles. Traditional ideologies, as seen in the patriarchal kinship structure and the economic and political systems, aid rather than hinder the present government as it maintains a similar relation to …
Gesturing In An Interview Situation : Effects Of Gender, Renee R. Tillinger
Gesturing In An Interview Situation : Effects Of Gender, Renee R. Tillinger
Honors Theses
Subjects observed a prerecorded job interview of a male or a female applicant whose gesturing was either broad (hands/arms moving away from the body), narrow (hands/arms moving close to the body), or not used (hands folded on lap). Subjects then completed evaluations on the applicant and the type of gesturing used. Results suggest that in placing individuals in jobs, women stereotype both men and women according to the type of gesturing used. Men, on the other hand, stereotype only men according to the type of gesturing used, but stereotyped women regardless of the type of gesturing used. Implications of this …
Corporate Hierarchies: Communities Of Women In The Fiction Of Sarah Orne Jewett, Jennifer Milsop
Corporate Hierarchies: Communities Of Women In The Fiction Of Sarah Orne Jewett, Jennifer Milsop
Honors Theses
The fiction of Sarah Orne Jewett is not traditionally classified with the 'greats' of canonical literature. Many feminist scholars and critics argue that Jewett's excommunication may be in part because her writing doesn't fit the pattern of most American classics, those novels that Nina Baym labeled, "Melodramas of Beset Manhood."l There is no search for the father, no hunt to kill, and no discernable plot. Instead, Jewett depicts the world of female rituals, female relationships, and female initiations, or rites of passage. Her atypical style and format may not fit the classic pattern of adventure and initiation, but she offers …
When The Equality Rule Is Violated : Factors Affecting Consumption Of Physical, Spatial And Temporal Resources, Caryn E. Herlocker
When The Equality Rule Is Violated : Factors Affecting Consumption Of Physical, Spatial And Temporal Resources, Caryn E. Herlocker
Honors Theses
Three studies explored the processes by which different types of shared resources were consumed by group members. Subjects shared physical, spatial, and temporal resources. The resources were arranged in either a partitioned or nonpartitioned form. Subjects did so with an implied withdrawal of either onethird or one-twelfth and while participating in either a sharing or an accuracy instruction. Results for each resource provided partial support for a deliberate motive of greed and an inadvertent overestimation bias affecting subjects' withdrawals. The results also suggest that different types of resources may be consumed according to different criteria. Suggestions are made for methodological …

This Groundwater Sampler's Handbook is a compilation of information that was either disjunctly found throughout Pollution Control's landfill project, non-existent, or unthought of.
Wordsworth's Abstraction Of Forms From Nature: A Necessary Process, Robert P. Sulcer
Wordsworth's Abstraction Of Forms From Nature: A Necessary Process, Robert P. Sulcer
Honors Theses
Wordsworth's poetry abstracts forms from nature and man in order to make nature and man last; this abstraction is a changing of feeling into thought, of perception into conception, of the material into the word.
Factors Influencing Arms Control, Valerie A. Sulfaro
Factors Influencing Arms Control, Valerie A. Sulfaro
Honors Theses
It is the intent of this paper to provide a comprehensive examination of the variables which act upon the arms control process without providing an in-depth analysis of any one variable. This paper will illustrate the influence of the actors who formulate arms control, and the political environment surrounding negotiations, in order to provide an understanding of how arms control treaties are shaped.
Self Complexity As A Buffer For Stress And Somatic Complaints, Jennifer Leigh Jett
Self Complexity As A Buffer For Stress And Somatic Complaints, Jennifer Leigh Jett
Honors Theses
Through addressing potential problematic life events and their connection with self knowledge, the current research sought to examine whether complex cognitive representation acted as a buffer in situations of major and minor life events in relation to psychosomatic illness.

Educational Opportunities For Aviation Management Students In Aviation Manufacturing, Dominic Sawchuk
Educational Opportunities For Aviation Management Students In Aviation Manufacturing, Dominic Sawchuk
Honors Theses
Despite the variety of courses dealing with various segments of the aviation industry, there is one portion of the industry which the SIU-C curriculum does not address, and yet many of its students focus their employment goals within this specialized area. As the largest segment of the aviation industry, (employing 1.2 million, versus 400,000 employed in commercial aviation for 1980), it is hard to believe that specialized coursework is not provided which deals with the subject of Aviation Manufacturing.
Anatomy In Action, Erik Steven Herman
Highway Improvements And Economic Growth: A Study Of Lee Highway Between Airport Road And Shallowford Road, Travis Lee Hayes
Highway Improvements And Economic Growth: A Study Of Lee Highway Between Airport Road And Shallowford Road, Travis Lee Hayes
Honors Theses
When I first selected this topic to research for an honors project, the question I asked was: Does economic growth in an area serve as a catalyst for highway improvement projects, or do highway improvement projects cause economic growth? The segment of Lee Highway between Airport Road and Shallowford Road in Chattanooga has experienced quite a bit of economic growth in recent years, and this stretch of road has been improved by the addition of more traffic lanes. By focusing my research on this particular highway, I felt that I would gain insight into my question. In this paper I …

The Effects Of Potassium Cations On The Germination Of Phytolacca Americana, Karen Michelle Smith
The Effects Of Potassium Cations On The Germination Of Phytolacca Americana, Karen Michelle Smith
Honors Theses
Phytolacca americana, a plant species of eastern North America, is widely known as a plant of multiple uses in traditional medicine, a source of contemporary research compounds, and as a pot herb when correctly prepared for human consumption. Experimental conditions that promote rapid laboratory germination and the role of chemical factors in the germination process are being investigated in P. americana. The role of potassium ions in plant metabolism, especially the process of seed germination, is reviewed. Experiments were designed, the results of which are presented and discussed, to determine (1) the effect of exogenously applied salts of K+ on …
Use Of Solid-Phase Resins In Pesticide Monitoring, Jenny Bittinger
Use Of Solid-Phase Resins In Pesticide Monitoring, Jenny Bittinger
Honors Theses
The feasibility of using solid-phase resins for monitoring concentrations of pesticides in water was examined. Efforts were made to ascertain relationships between concentrations of a pesticide (methoxychlor) in water and on a resin (AXD-2) under laboratory conditions. Solutions of pesticide in water were drawn through columns of resin. Methylene Chloride was used to absorb the pesticide from the resin. Gas chromatography and ultraviolet spectrophotometry were used to measure concentrations of pesticide.
Family Environments And The Development And Course Of Anorexia Nervosa, Amy E. Hewett
Family Environments And The Development And Course Of Anorexia Nervosa, Amy E. Hewett
Honors Theses
Preoccupation with physical appearance is a hallmark of adolescence, and distorted body images are common among teenage women in developed countries around the world. Obviously alI of these adolescents are not contracting eating disorders, and a distorted body image, although necessary, is not sufficient to induce anorexia. The mitigating factor appears to be family relations and environments. Previous research has noted unusual relationships among family members of anorexic girls. The present study contends that familial factors and environments powerfully direct both the move toward and the recovery from anorexia nervosa. It is hypothesized that high scores on the Family Environment …
Initial Dyadic Peer Interaction Of Adhd And Normal Children, Julie A. Hubbard
Initial Dyadic Peer Interaction Of Adhd And Normal Children, Julie A. Hubbard
Honors Theses
The present study assesses the nature of the behavior of ADHD children in an initial social encounter with a peer. Eight pairs each of previously unacquainted ADHD/normal and normal/normal children were videotaped as they interacted in a free-play setting for 30 minutes. All ADHD subjects were currently receiving psychostimulant medication. As compared to the normal/normal dyads, the ADHD/normal dyads engaged in more solitary play as well as less associative play. The ADHD/normal dyads also had a greater latency to reach rule-governed associative play and engaged in less affective verbalization than the normal/normal dyads. Sequential analyses revealed that the normal/normal dyads, …

Effects Of Disability Status Of Test Administrator On Attitudes Towards Disabled Person Scores, Paul T. Hanson
Effects Of Disability Status Of Test Administrator On Attitudes Towards Disabled Person Scores, Paul T. Hanson
Honors Theses
The effect of test administrator disability status was examined in relation to a standardized scale which measures attitudes towards disabled persons. Conducting the study on two different dates with a total of 88 subjects it was found that filling out the attitude scale in a group with either: a visually impaired; Quadriplegic using a wheelchair; or able-bodied administrator did not result in a significant difference in recorded attitudes. There was, however, an interesting finding in that there was a wide variance of scores within each group. This encourages further data analysis.

A Considertation Of Cost-Benefit Analysis In The Context Of Public Policy Decision-Making, Kathleen M. Wong
A Considertation Of Cost-Benefit Analysis In The Context Of Public Policy Decision-Making, Kathleen M. Wong
Honors Theses
Just what is to be understood by the term "cost-benefit analysis" ("benefit-cost analysis")? The question itself arises from a curiosity into how government decisions (which affect all) are made. This paper gives an elementary discussion of constitutive parts, raising and responding to some initial criticisms. It seems fairly evident, unneedful of additional explanation or elaboration. The individual on the street would simply declare that it sounded like some rather ordinary decision-making process which involved the consideration of the costs and benefits incurred by the paths of action that might be selected. "Ordinary" means accessible to anyone and not the exclusive …
