The Psycho-Physiological Effects Of Volume, Pitch, Harmony And Rhythm In The Development Of Western Art Music Implications For A Philosophy Of Music History, Wolfgang Hans Stefani

The purpose of this present study was to determine a philosophy of music history on which an objective standard can be based. The study also investigated the expressive function of music. Method Two fields of investigation in music scholarship were correlated — the history of stylistic and instrumental development in Western art music and the scientific study of the psychophysiological effects of music on the human organism.

The Effect Of Cognitive Coping Strategies On The Tolerance Of Human Infant Crying, Thomas C. Mann

Master's Theses

This study was an attempt to replicate and extend a pilot study which tested the efficacy of three cognitive coping strategies on the tolerance of human infant crying (Jaremka & Walker, 1978). Thirty-five male and female psychology students were divided into five groups: no-treatment control, attention placebo control, reversal of affect, distraction, and rationalization. In a pretest subjects listened to a ten minute tape of a crying infant and indicated when they first experienced an unpleasant feeling. The posttest was the same as the pretest, except the treatment groups were instructed to use a cognitive strategy to help them cope …

Charles R. Mcdowell, Jr. : One Man's View Of The National Folklore, Sandra Leigh Spratley Jan 1980

Charles R. Mcdowell, Jr. : One Man's View Of The National Folklore, Sandra Leigh Spratley

Master's Theses

A journalist's range of interests may be as varied and complex as the range of interests of the audience to whom he is appealing. Whereas Samuel Feinberg in Women's Wear Daily writes mainly for persons interested in business, a perusal through decades of Time shows its writers trying to reach a larger audience and thus writing on scores of different topics. The longevity of an author's work correlates to the success with which he captures his audience's characteristics and oral traditions. We find that such writers as E. B. White, Finley Peter Dunne, and Mark Twain have succeeded in almost …
