Perceived Motivation And Evaluation: Effects Of Intention Cues And Effort Cues On Attribution Of Responsibility And Evaluate Judgements Of Elementary School Teachers, Mary Ann Ford Jan 1980

Perceived Motivation And Evaluation: Effects Of Intention Cues And Effort Cues On Attribution Of Responsibility And Evaluate Judgements Of Elementary School Teachers, Mary Ann Ford

Open Access Dissertations

This study investigated the relationship between responsibility ascriptions and teacher evaluations of pupils' achievements, emphasizing the examination of differential intention and effort effects. The purpose of this study was to clarify distinctions between information about "intention" and information about "effort" that are suggested by the underlying theory of attribution but have been neglected in prior experimental tests of the theory. An additional purpose of the study was an examination of the theoretical assumption that ascriptions of responsibility mediate evaluative judgments.

It was hypothesized that both situational and motivational cues would affect evaluative judgments. It was predicted that locus of outcome …

Some Factors Affecting College Students' Willingness To Interact With Hospitalized Mental Patients, Joan E. Wilkins Jan 1979

Some Factors Affecting College Students' Willingness To Interact With Hospitalized Mental Patients, Joan E. Wilkins

Open Access Dissertations

Since the Mental Health Service Acts of 1963 and 1965, increasing numbers of psychiatric patients have been discharged back into communities for continuing treatment. Many communities have reacted negatively to this influx of ex-patients. Since the nature of the public's reaction affects the establishment of community facilities as well as the course of ex-patients' stays in the community, it is important for mental health professionals to better understand public reaction to mental patients.

Since multiple factors influence behavior, the primary purpose of the present investigation was to simultaneously investigate, through the use of a multivariate design, a variety of subject, …


The Development Of Imagination: The Relationship Between College Students’ Retrospective Reports Of Parent-Child Interactions And Imaginal Activity In Everyday Life, Martin W. Ham Jan 1979

The Development Of Imagination: The Relationship Between College Students’ Retrospective Reports Of Parent-Child Interactions And Imaginal Activity In Everyday Life, Martin W. Ham

Open Access Dissertations

The objectives were two-fold: 1) to determine the extent to which current models of parent-child interactions and imaginal activity are an artifact of the level of data analyzed, and 2) to determine to what extent and in what manner interactions with both parents are related to the imaginal activity of young adults. It was anticipated that the study would help illuminate the antecedent conditions that are associated with various patterns of imagining.

The subjects were 229 college students who participated in two group testing sessions. In the first session, subjects completed the 344-item Imaginal Processes Inventory developed by Singer and …

Cell Proliferation And Collagen Synthesis In Explant Cultures Of Arteriosclerotic Rabbit Aorta, Douglas Otto Fisher Jan 1979

Cell Proliferation And Collagen Synthesis In Explant Cultures Of Arteriosclerotic Rabbit Aorta, Douglas Otto Fisher

Open Access Dissertations

The rate of cell proliferation and the ratio of type I/III collagen synthesized by aorta organ culture and cultured smooth muscle cells (SMC) was determined in cells derived from rabbits with injury induced (daily epinephrine and thyroxine administration) arteriosclerosis and increased vascular collagen synthesis. Tissue was taken from medial smooth muscle of normal and diseased rabbits and incubated in organ or cell culture systems with 2, 3- 3H-proline, ascorbate and beta-aminopropionitrile. Collagen types were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis and CMC-chromatography and quantitated radiometrically. licroscopic observation at 12 days in culture and 3H-thyrnidine incorporation at 18 days in culture …


Closedmindedness As A Positive Behavior, Herbert Wax Jan 1978

Closedmindedness As A Positive Behavior, Herbert Wax

Open Access Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine how males and females who were categorized as either open or closedminded would respond to a Slide Show followed by a True/False Test and the Human Assistance Distance Scale (RADS) constructed for this experiment.

A group of subjects took Rokeach's Dogmatism Scale which differentiated them into openminded and closedminded groups. Both groups were matched by sex. They then viewed the Slide Show which consisted of low and high stress pictures, taken from a variety of sources. The subjects were then given a True/False Test related to factual content of the slides. They …


Facilitation Of Fear Reduction Following Electrical Stimulation Of The Brain In Rats, William A. Pacitti Jan 1978

Facilitation Of Fear Reduction Following Electrical Stimulation Of The Brain In Rats, William A. Pacitti

Open Access Dissertations

This study assessed the efficacy of positive electrical stimulation of the brain in counterconditioning fear in 100 albino laboratory rats. A parametric investigation was undertaken in which fear was conditioned through presentation of electric foot shock and then reduced through response prevention, in combination with different types of electrical stimulation of the brain. The basic measure of fear was the Conditioned Emotional Response (CER), as seen in the suppression of licking behavior.

Electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB) has been used to effectively reduce active avoidance responding, another measure of conditioned fear, and its effects resemble closely those obtained when …


Evaluation Of Pain As A Discriminative Stimulus In The Rat, Stephen Miksic Jan 1978

Evaluation Of Pain As A Discriminative Stimulus In The Rat, Stephen Miksic

Open Access Dissertations

Intraperitoneal injection of phenyl-p-benzoquinone (PBQ) was used in three experiments to evaluate its action as a potential model for the study of "pain" processes. Pain is operationally defined as: behavior which would be interpreted as pain related in man, specific actions of analgesic drugs to reduce this behavior, and ability of other pain producing chemicals to substitute for the PBQ treatment. In the first experiment PBQ administration produced dose-dependent writhing in hooded rats. This behavior was blocked by the narcotic analgesic, morphine, also in a dose dependent manner. In the second experiment 20 subjects were trained to respond on a …
