Relationship Between A Gifted Child's Label And Perceived Family Environment, Anne Hall
Relationship Between A Gifted Child's Label And Perceived Family Environment, Anne Hall
Master's Theses
This study investigated the relationship between the number of years in which a child has been labeled as gifted and family members' perceptions of their family's social environment. Second, possible differences between gifted childrens' and siblings' perceptions of their family's environment were investigated. A significant negative relationship was found between the number of years of labeling time and mothers' perceived level of cohesion, organization and control in the family environment. A significant positive relationship was found between the number of years in which the gifted child had been labeled and the gifted child's growing orientation to achievement and with unlabeled …
The Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test As A Group Screening Instrument For Social Maturity, Andrea Davis
The Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test As A Group Screening Instrument For Social Maturity, Andrea Davis
Master's Theses
This study investigated the use of the Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test (BVMGT) as a measure of social maturity. A group BVMGT was administered to 80 second grade children and scored using the Koppitz Developmental Scoring System. The Social Domain of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS) served as the measure of social maturity. It was hypothesized that there is a significant positive relationship between VABS performance and BVMGT performance, also that there is a significant positive relationship between BVMGT performance and gender. The hypotheses were not supported. The VABS, variability within the subjects, age, halo effect, and scoring system …

Some Chemical And Physical Factors Influencing Growth Of Panus Stipticus Bulliard Ex Fries And Armillariella Mellea (Vahl Ex Fries) Karsten, James Robert Kirkland
Master's Theses
Two species of wood rotting fungi were used to investigate the possibility that growth-enhancing or inhibitory substances in woods from various trees are responsible for the distribution of these fungi in nature. Panus stipticus (Bulliard ex Fries) and Armillariella mellea (Vahl ex Fries) Karsten were cultured in the laboratory on blocks of wood from Taxodium distichum (L.) Richard, Juniperus virginiana L., Pinus taeda L. and Quercus rubra L. Panus stipticus grew well on the surface of the wood blocks; histological studies showed less penetration into the xylem of the softwoods than into that of Q. rubra. Armillariella mellea grew well …
Sensation Seeking And Daily Activities As Determinants Of Criminal Behavior, Rebecca S. Fulper
Sensation Seeking And Daily Activities As Determinants Of Criminal Behavior, Rebecca S. Fulper
Master's Theses
This study looks at sensation seeking and daily activities as possible determinants of criminal behavior within the age range of 15 to 30. A male offender and a male nonoffender population between the ages of 15 and 18 were compared on two questionnaires; Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale, Form VI, (SSS) and the Daily Activities Questionnaire (DAQ). The design consisted of one independent variable with two levels and multiple dependent variables. The research hypotheses indicated that the juvenile offender group would score higher on both Disinhibition subscales of the SSS and lower on the DAQ (Intention - Disinhibition (IDIS); Experience - …

Thrift Competition And Its Impact On Financial Institution Mergers And Acquisitions In The Richmond, Virginia Rma, Kenneth W. Vance
Master's Theses
Commercial banking has been subject to antitrust review for only a few decades. In 1948, the Transamerica Corporation was charged by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System with a violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act when it acquired controlling interest in several independent banks in California (1). At the time of the acquisitions, the banks in question were in direct competition with one or more oof the banks already controlled by Transamerica Corporation. Moreover, Transamerica Corporation held a major interest in Bank of America. This unique case ignited a fear of probable banking concentration …
The Relationship Of General Tolerance With Education, Ultimate Religious Motivation, Theological Position, And Denominational Affiliation, Cheryl L. Epperson
The Relationship Of General Tolerance With Education, Ultimate Religious Motivation, Theological Position, And Denominational Affiliation, Cheryl L. Epperson
Master's Theses
The current study assessed whether educational level and ultimate religious motivation were positively correlated with general tolerance, while fundamentalism and tolerance were negatively correlated. One hundred eighty-five subjects at least 21 years of age were recruited from seven different Christian orientations. Educational level and ultimate religious motivation, as measured by an Intrinsic Motivation Scale, were positively correlated with tolerance measured by the Jackson Personality Inventory Tolerance Scale. A significant negative correlation was displayed between tolerance and fundamentalism as measured by an Orthodoxy Scale. In addition, a multiple regression analysis showed that fundamentalism was negatively correlated with tolerance, while ultimate religious …

Sovran Financial Corporation Competitive Analysis, Don Kierson
Sovran Financial Corporation Competitive Analysis, Don Kierson
Master's Theses
Competitive theories attempt to describe, analyze, rationalize and predict behaviors when two or more people want the same thing. Competition appears to come naturally to humans. We have evolved over vast number of generations in response to changes in our environment. Our early struggle for existence led to a highly developed tendency toward aggressive behavior. The process of natural selection depended on this trait to ensure that the strongest members of our species flourished. If unchecked, however, aggression would have eventually destroyed mankind. V.C. Wynne-Edwards29 theorized that societies of higher animals have developed "conventional competitions" which encourage aggression while …

Fathers And Sons : The Relationships Among Orientations Of Sex Role, Sport And Winning, Leah Sigler Narro
Master's Theses
The present study examines relationships among several cognitive orientations of sons and fathers as well as sons' participation in sport and perception of the influences of others in sport. The subjects, 80 boys enrolled in fifth through twelfth grades, and their fathers completed the Short Bem Sex Role Inventory (Bem, 1981), the Sport Value Orientation scale (McElroy, 1983), and the Orientation Toward Winning scale (Kidd & Woodman, 1975). The sons' perceptions of who influences them the most in sport, and the sons' participation in sport were also assessed. The results imply that fathers who have a strong Orientation Toward Winning …

To move Hankins and Johann in this …
Contingent Time Off : An Incentive Approach To Office Productivity Increases, Larry F. Cluff
Contingent Time Off : An Incentive Approach To Office Productivity Increases, Larry F. Cluff
Master's Theses
Productivity gains in a clerical setting on the order of ten to twenty-five percent can be achieved through the use of contingent time off (CTO) incentives. To test this hypothesis, four clerical groups who performed routine repetitive tasks were given productivity goals of 25% over their respective group's average weekly productivity level. If a group achieves the weekly goal before the end of standard 40 hour work-week, the group of employees will be given time off with full pay based upon a specified formula. Results of the study indicate that CTO can result in productivity increases ranging between 13 and …
Contemporary Reactions To The Popish Plot And The Exclusion Crisis, Elizabeth Breeden Townes
Contemporary Reactions To The Popish Plot And The Exclusion Crisis, Elizabeth Breeden Townes
Master's Theses
It is often said that history is made up of the lies of a man's own times. This thesis looks at the highly controversial years, 1978-81, in England the years of the Popish Plot and Exclusion Crisis, through the eyes of men prominent on both sides of the issues. Much of the analysis of contemporary cannon draws from the words of Gilbert Burnet, John Evelyn, Roger North, Roger L'Estrange, William Temple, and George Savile, Marquis of Halifax. These men were all close to the court or had connections close to the Court, yet they did not see every twist and …
