Effects Of Own Voice Vs. Another's Voice During Progressive Relaxation, Tay Corrie Weber Jan 1985

Effects Of Own Voice Vs. Another's Voice During Progressive Relaxation, Tay Corrie Weber

Master's Theses

The purpose of this study was to assess the difference in stress reduction between listening to one's own voice and listening to another's voice during taped relaxation procedures. Eighteen male undergraduates listened to relaxation tapes of their own voice, that of another person, and a control tape. Stress was measured via skin temperature. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant stress reduction (indicated by increased skin temperature) for both experimental groups and greater reduction in stress when listening to one's own voice than when listening to another voice. A Latin-Square Repeated analysis revealed only a significant order effect …


An Experiment In Southern Letters : The Reviewer, 1921-1925, Elizabeth Spindler Scott Jan 1985

An Experiment In Southern Letters : The Reviewer, 1921-1925, Elizabeth Spindler Scott

Master's Theses

The Reviewer (1921-1925) was a "little magazine" created by four iconoclastic young editors, Emily Clark, Hunter Stagg, Margaret Freeman, and Mary Street to counter Mencken's claim that the South was a "Sahara of the Bozart." Aided by R. L. Mencken, James Branch Cabell and Carl Van Vechten the editors secured contributions from the most famous writers of the time to publish with their "discoveries." This thesis contains the magazine's history, an extensive bibliography, and an anthology drawn from the most representative sections in each genre. Copies of The Reviewer are extremely rare, and the anthology is intended to show that …

An Evaluation Of Screening Models For Assessing Toxic Air Pollution Downwind Of Hazardous Waste Landfills, Lynton Worth Baker Jan 1985

An Evaluation Of Screening Models For Assessing Toxic Air Pollution Downwind Of Hazardous Waste Landfills, Lynton Worth Baker

Master's Theses

The ambient air concentration of vinyl chloride downwind of the BKK Landfill in West Covina, CA is estimated using four air pollution screening models. BKK has accepted hazardous and municipal wastes since 1963. Disposal of waste solutions containing vinyl chloride was stopped in June, 1981 after exceedances of the California ambient air vinyl chloride standard were measured. Since then, however, vinyl chloride has continued to volatilize and diffuse to the landfill surface. The emission rate of vinyl chloride is estimated using pertinent landfill data including the concentration of vinyl chloride in landfill gas, the depth of the soil landfill cover, …


Effects Of Adrenalectomy On Hemoconcentration And Blood Ph, Urea And Electrolytes In The Mongolian Gerbil (Meriones Unguiculatus), Magally Aellos De Cova May 1984

Effects Of Adrenalectomy On Hemoconcentration And Blood Ph, Urea And Electrolytes In The Mongolian Gerbil (Meriones Unguiculatus), Magally Aellos De Cova

Master's Theses

The effects of adrenalectomy on some blood profiles of the Mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus, were studied in order to clarify the possible causes of its short survival after adrenal ablation. Measurements of hematocrit, pH, urea and electrolytes were made 18, 24 and 30 hours after surgery. Results show the expected alterations: hemoconcentration, metabolic acidosis, high values of urea and disturbances in electrolytes. While hyponatremia was significant only after 24 hours, important hypochloremia was not present at any time. Hyperkalemia was the most significant alteration observed. It occurred as early as 18 hours after surgery, suggesting that it may be an …

Psychological Needs Of The Elderly : Community, Religious Affiliated Institutions, And Public Institutions, Sharon Bonaventura

Master's Theses

Although research has shown that psychological needs change as a person ages, available data on the relationship of psychological needs and types of residential institutions for the elderly are limited. The purpose of this study was to explore the possible connection between a particular residential environment and the elderly's psychological needs. Forty-five elderly females ages 62 through 89, participated in this study. Subjects were chosen from one of three residential groups, community, religious affiliated institutions, and public institutions. All subjects were asked to complete the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule. In addition, demographic data were collected on each subject. Results from …


Testing The Efficacy Of A Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment For Impulsivity With Female Juvenile Delinquents, Dinaz Lynn Stafford Jan 1984

Testing The Efficacy Of A Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment For Impulsivity With Female Juvenile Delinquents, Dinaz Lynn Stafford

Master's Theses

This experiment was conducted in order to determine the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral treatment, involving self-instructions training for impulsivity, on female juvenile delinquents. An additional consideration was whether instructions educating subjects about the generalizability of self-instructions would lead to a decrease in impulsivity in a classroom situation. Thirty subjects were randomly assigned tp 3 groups - Group 1 being trained in self-instructions and receiving generalizing instructions, Group 2 being trained self-instruction alone, and Group 3 serving as the attentional control group. The Matching Familiar Figures test was admini­ stered before and after treatment sessions and the Impulsive Behavior Scale was rated …
