Examining The Association Between Personal And Cultural Values And Cross-National Customer Satisfaction, Adel A. Al-Weqaiyan

Open Access Dissertations

Stress, Temperament, And Academic Achievement, Patricia M. Lemay

Open Access Dissertations

The relationship among stress, temperament, and academic achievement in middle-school children was explored. It was hypothesized that: (1) various types of stressors differ in their relationship with academic achievement, (2) temperamental variables differ in their relationship with children's perceived stress, and (3) temperament mediates the relationship between stress and academic achievement.

Subjects were 263 sixth graders from three public school systems in southeastern New England. Using a group format, the subjects were administered two self-report measures of stress and one self-rating temperament survey, the predictor variables. The criterion measure was the Metropolitan Achievement Test scores for the 1991-1992 academic year. …

The Role-Taking Construct And Its Relationship To Social Acceptance, William P. Geary Jan 1983

The Role-Taking Construct And Its Relationship To Social Acceptance, William P. Geary

Open Access Dissertations

This research was undertaken to examine the role-taking construct as being a composite of two different component abilities, interrelating multiple elements and controlling the self. Each of these abilities was examined developmentally, and in relationship to social acceptance, intelligence and socioeconomic status. Developmental psychologists have stated that role-taking is an important social-cognitive ability for appropriate social behavior and peer acceptance. In a similar manner, research has linked a delay in role-taking ability to peer acceptance problems in certain populations. In this study, the multidimensionality of role-taking and its relationship to social acceptance in normal elementary school population is examined.
