An Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of Moderator Variables Developed By Three Techniques, James Porter Tucker Jr.

Master's Theses

In a recent article, Hobert and Dunnette (1967) maintained that compared to the Absolute-difference and Algebraic-difference techniques Quadrant Analysis should yield the more effective moderators. Their assertion was based on the reasoning that more homogenous subgrouping should yield moderators with increased sensitivity to error. The present study was carried out as an empirical investigation of their assertions. Further, the design of the study permitted an investigation of moderator function.

The total sample (n=333) of male college students was randomly divided into a developmental sample and a cross-validation sample. Employing the aforementioned techniques a total of five moderator scales were developed …

Sayler's Creek : A Battlefield, A Park, Peter Warren Eldredge

Master's Theses

The significance in history of the land area known as Sayler's Creek is derived from the fact that the last major conflict between Union and Confederate forces was fought there on April 6, 1865. The battle has been neglected because it immediately precedes the surrender; however, the engagement does contain valuable historical information.

A Study Of The Proposed Richmond Coliseum, Coleman Bennett Yeatts Jr.

Master's Theses

Nearly seven years ago, representatives of Richmond’s leading cultural groups - such as Ballet Impromptu, The Children’s Theater and others - appeared before City Council to ask for assistance in the construction of a theater for the performing arts. This recent campaign to improve cultural facilities has been converted into a move to make Richmond one of the South's leading basketball cities as well as a major meeting place for large conventions. This move is to be the building of one of, if not, the finest Coliseums in the country.

Alexander Moseley, Editor Of The Richmond Whig, Harrison Moseley Ethridge

Master's Theses

The following pages are the study or a man, Alexander Moseley, and of the newspaper with which he was intimately connected for forty-tive years

There are, admittedly gaps in the study. The period of Know-Knoth­ingism is omitted, for example, because no substantial material could be found to show his associations during the era. At other times, much more material could be found concerning Moseley's personal life than on his public life. And, of course, often it is difficult to prove that an editorial opinion was necessarily his.

Alexander Moseley's career was unique, however, in the great span of history it …

An Investigation Of The Novelty Effect In Programed Instruction, Frederick Sale Jr.

Master's Theses

The present study was designed to overcome, at least to some extent, the problems by using older, experimentally naive subjects am shorter programs. A comparison is made between successive performances by a group of college students on a series of three programs. The null hypothesis is that there will be no significant differences between performances on the three programs. On the other hand, significant decreases in effectiveness of performance by the subjects on the successive program could be taken as evidence that the expected novelty effect operating initially in the learning situation dissipates with increasing exposure of the subjects to …
