A Cohort Analysis Of Juvenile Probationers From The Kalamazoo County Juvenile Court, 1971, Karl B. Kucab Apr 1977

A Cohort Analysis Of Juvenile Probationers From The Kalamazoo County Juvenile Court, 1971, Karl B. Kucab

Masters Theses

Data on 171 juveniles placed on probation in 1971 was compiled and analyzed. Thirteen independent and six dependent variables were tested bivariately and multivariately. The recidivism rate for the cohort was also determined.

This was the first analysis of the court's probation service. It served to supply the court with three "measures" of recidivism, a "Delinquency Seriousness Index," and an adult follow-up of the cohort.

Results showed an effectiveness rate of 60.25%. In addition, 13 of the 78 hypotheses advanced were accepted and four significant predictor models were constructed. "Early age at onset" of delinquency, a familiar predictor of recidivism, …


Familial Factors Influencing Female Transsexualism, Teresa Louise Buck Jan 1977

Familial Factors Influencing Female Transsexualism, Teresa Louise Buck

Masters Theses

A clinical survey of eight clinicians, drawing from their experiences with thirteen cases, was conducted to explore familial influences on the formation or maintenance of gender dysphoria in females so as to result in transsexualism. In preparation for disclosing and discussing these findings three areas are reviewed: (1) historical references to transsexualism from ancient and modern cultures; (2) differential definitions of transvestism, homosexuality, and transsexualism; and (3) theoretical perspectives on the etiology and phenomenology of female transsexualism.

The clinical survey did not provide sufficient multi-generational family material to effectively assess the influence of the family beyond the nuclear family. Some …

Effects Of Distance And Sex On Verbal Productivity And Anxiety, Peter Lindsay Rogers Jan 1977

Effects Of Distance And Sex On Verbal Productivity And Anxiety, Peter Lindsay Rogers

Masters Theses

The present study was designed to determine whether physical distance between male and female interviewees and a female interviewer affected verbal productivity and anxiety level when interviewees discussed academic, social, and personal topics. The interview was conceptualized as an information-gathering interview. Crucial variables in such interviews are client participation and information flow. Client verbal productivity appears to be directly related to these variables, and was used as one dependent variable to measure the impact of distance on interviewee verbal behavior. A self-report measure of anxiety, the Fear Thermometer was used as a second dependent variable.

The experimental distances used in …


An Appraisal Of The Contingency Theory Of Leadership Effectiveness: A Methodological Analysis, Hoi Kin Suen Jan 1977

An Appraisal Of The Contingency Theory Of Leadership Effectiveness: A Methodological Analysis, Hoi Kin Suen

Masters Theses

The Contingency Theory of Leadership Effectiveness is one of the most comprehensive theories of leadership today. The theory postulates that leadership effectiveness is contingent upon the combination of leadership style and situational favorableness. Leader style is measured by the Esteem for Least-Preferred Coworker (LPC) scale. A high LPC score is interpreted as reflecting a relation-oriented leader, while a low LPC score reflects a task-oriented leader. Situational favorableness is determined by three variables: leader-member relations, task structure, and position power.

Recent studies have challenged the reliability and validity of the theory. This study is a critical analysis of the methodological and …
