The Problem Of Water In St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands: A Cultural Ecological Study, Barbara Rose Johnston Jan 1981

The Problem Of Water In St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands: A Cultural Ecological Study, Barbara Rose Johnston

Master's Theses

The island of St. Thomas has been home for many cultures over the past thirty-five hundred years, and each society has left its mark on the landscape. This study illustrates the changing relationships between culture and the island environment. It is an attempt to understand how a specific environmental problem has evolved, how a water shortage has come to exist in a relatively wet climatic zone.


Effects Of Casual Attributions Of Performance Outcome On Nature Of Self-Statements And Self-Esteem, Samuel Horace Wood Aug 1980

Effects Of Casual Attributions Of Performance Outcome On Nature Of Self-Statements And Self-Esteem, Samuel Horace Wood

Master's Theses

36 college students participated in a study to determine the role of causal attributions of success and failure on the modification of self-esteem. Although Brockner (1979) has suggested that the key to augmenting self-esteem is the increasing of positive self-evaluation that follows success, several studies suggest that it is not the positive self-evaluation after success but the negative self-evaluations after failure that are crucial in determining one's level of self-esteem. Thus it was hypothesized in the present study that if external attributions were made for failures while internal attributions for success were maintained, self-esteem would increase. Subjects high and low …


An Analysis Of The Stock Market As An Indicator Of Investor Reaction To Selected National And International Events, Benjamin F. Harmon May 1980

An Analysis Of The Stock Market As An Indicator Of Investor Reaction To Selected National And International Events, Benjamin F. Harmon

Master's Theses

The idea for this research originated with the work of Bruce M. Russett and Elizabeth Hanson in Interest and Ideology: The Foreign Policy Beliefs of American Businessmen. Their work in attempting to identify businessmen's reactions (and hence, beliefs) to events during the Indo-China War by movements in stock prices is, as far as I have been able to find, unique. After discussion with Dr. John Out-land, I undertook to determine if there is a consistent pattern in stock market fluctuations as a result of domestic and international affairs. Can the attitudes of American investors toward specific events be identified through …

State-Trait Anxiety And Incidental Learning Of Shapes And Colors In Learning Disabled Adolescents, Ladonna Gail Cabell

Master's Theses

The present study attempted to examine the effects of anxiety on incidental learning of colors and shapes. The central task was the learning of six eve syllables with meaningfulness association values between 2.41 and 2.49. The incidental taslc was the learning of the color or shape that the syllable was printed on. The subjects were thirty-four male and female adolescents identified as learning disabled. The subjects were divided into three anxiety groups (high, medium and low) using Spielberger's State­ Trait Anxiety Inventory. The results· indicated that anxiety (state or trait) had no significant effect on incidental learning in adolescent subjects. …

Locus Of Control Modification As A Function Of Siituational Control And Performance Feedback : A Replication And Extension, Ronald J. Kline Jan 1980

Locus Of Control Modification As A Function Of Siituational Control And Performance Feedback : A Replication And Extension, Ronald J. Kline

Master's Theses

Fifty-four middle school age (sixth to eighth grade) children took part in a study designed to examine the effects of situational control and performance feedback on locus of control orientation. The subjects took part in a task situation in which they were asked to read three fictitious experiments and decide from a list of ten results which ones were actually found in the experiment and which were not. Pre and post-task measures were obtained on two locus of control scales. The Locus of Control Scale For Success - Failure (Epstein and Komorita, 1971) was answered in direct relation to the …

The Root Mission, William R. Conger

Master's Theses

The purpose of this study is to examine the Root Mission to Russia from it conception to its final report and to evaluate the effectiveness of each member individually as well as that of the Mission as a whole. Further, major actions and responses of the Wilson Administration and other American officials have been considered where these actions have a direct bearing on the effectiveness of the Root Mission. This study also provides a narrative account of the constructive work of the commission and attempts to highlight those experiences which might well have had a significant impact on the Mission's …


Influence Of The "International Theme" In The Novels Of Sinclair Lewis., David Charles Thaw Jan 1980

Influence Of The "International Theme" In The Novels Of Sinclair Lewis., David Charles Thaw

Master's Theses

The "International Theme" in literature arose as a result of real-life confrontations between Americans and Europeans. Conflict was inevitable as the feudal tradition of England with its emphasis on social caste met head-on with the democratic traditions of a ew nation. By definition the "international theme" focused on the conflict of manners between two citizens of different nations who disagree on the correct way of behaving in a given situation. For example, the titled nobility of Europe feel that some deference should be shown to them due to their rank and not because they have accomplished something of merit. Particularly, …

Relationships Between The Four Temperament Types: Sanguine, Choleric, Phlegmatic, And Melancholic, And Leisure Time Physical Activities, Herbert W. Helm Jr Jan 1980

Relationships Between The Four Temperament Types: Sanguine, Choleric, Phlegmatic, And Melancholic, And Leisure Time Physical Activities, Herbert W. Helm Jr

Master's Theses

Problem

The physical health of a person seems to be an important issue in today's society. It would seem reasonable to hypothesize that the temperament of an individual may be a predisposing factor toward or against participation on a regular exercise program. It was the purpose of this study to determine what relationship exists between a person's temperament type and the amount of leisure time physical activity he or she performs.

Method

One-hundred and ninety-three college students participated in this study. The "Temperament Inventory" was used to determine a person's score on each of the four temperament types. The "Minnesota …
