Information Seeking Behavior, Dennis L. Sternlight

Open Access Dissertations

Previous research has suggested that information seeking behavior is lawful and that the levels of information seeking are dependent upon alterations of the nature and conditions under which the information is sought. However, in the previous research only two variables were manipulated. One was the similarity of the information to the subject seeking the information. This variable proved significant and could. Be used to predict the relative levels of information seeking. The other variable was the race, black or white, of the individual for whom one was seeking information. This variable proved to be not significant.

The current study is …

The Relationship Of Black Ethnicity To Field Dependence And Adjustment, Theodore Conway Schmults

Open Access Dissertations

Witkin and his associates have done extensive work on the relation of various perceptual tasks to broader personality dimensions. An avenue opened by this research which was of particular significance to this paper concerns the relationship between field dependence-independence and the individual's sense of separate identity. The more articulated the cognitive style, the more there is a manifestation of a sense of separate identity which includes such things as an awareness of needs and feeling which the person recognizes as his own and as distinct from others. By contrast a global cognitive style which implies a diminished or lesser sense …

Mechanism And Characteristics Of Drug-Induced Aggression, Gerald Gianutsos

Open Access Dissertations

This research investigated the pharmacological alteration of drug-induced aggression in naive, morphine-dependent and chronically haloperidol treated rats. Naive rats were treated with apomorphine (1.25 - 20 mg/Kg) and aggregated in groups of four for aggression. It was determined that 20 mg/Kg of apomorphine produced maximal aggression, as measured by number of attacks, duration of aggressive posturing and number of vocalizations. Doses less than 5 mg/Kg were without any effect. The neuroleptics, haloperidol and oxyperomide, the narcotic, morphine, and the cholinergic agonist, pilocarpine all reduced apomorphine-induced aggression in a dose dependent manner. Centrally acting anti-cholinergic drugs partially reversed the blockade of …

Fluoride In Sea Water: Distribution In The North Atlantic Ocean And Formation Of Ion Pairs With Sodium, Gerard Roland Miller Jr.

Open Access Dissertations

Two problems concerning fluoride in sea water were considered in order to advance the understanding of the chemistry of fluoride in the marine environment. Anomalously high fluoride concentrations have been observed at some locations in the North Atlantic Ocean. If these anomalous concentrations continued to exist they could provide an opportunity to examine some of the geochemical processes of fluoride in sea water. Considerations of the geochemistry and physical chemistry of fluoride in sea water are hindered by an inadequate account of the interactions of fluoride and sodium.

Water samples were collected on several cruises in the North Atlantic and …

Residual Fear Of The Cs As A Function Of Response Prevention After Avoidance Or Classical-Defensive Conditioning In The Rat, Peter M. Monti

Open Access Dissertations

The problems of assessing fear reduction after response prevention techniques were reviewed. After surveying the literature it was apparent that whether or not response prevention actually reduced a subject's fear to the CS was still an unanswered question. The present investigation attempted to measure fear to the CS after response prevention by employing a conditioned emotional response paradigm. The first major hypothesis was that fear of an auditory CS (conditioned in an avoidance paradigm) is reduced during response prevention. Another hypothesis considered the possibility that conditioning may occur to aspects of the conditioning environment seas well as to the specific …
