Symptom And Dynamic Hierarchies In The Systematic Desensitization Of Test Anxiety: An Incentive Approach, William A. Hancur Jan 1974

Symptom And Dynamic Hierarchies In The Systematic Desensitization Of Test Anxiety: An Incentive Approach, William A. Hancur

Open Access Dissertations

This study proposed to determine the effectiveness of systematic desensitization with integrative, symptom and dynamic hierarchies. It was hypothesized that systematic desensitization with integrative hierarchies would be more effective in reducing disruptive test anxiety than systematic desensitization with either symptom or dynamic hierarchies alone. It was further hypothesized that systematic desensitization with both integrative and dynamic hierarchies would be superior to systematic desensitization with symptom hierarchies in generalization to anxieties associated with test anxiety.

Forty-four test anxious college males were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups: 1) a symptom group treated with systematic desensitization based on cues related …

Operant Analysis Of Behavior Associated With Oral Self-Administration Of Drug Solutions In Rats, Joseph David Zabik Jan 1974

Operant Analysis Of Behavior Associated With Oral Self-Administration Of Drug Solutions In Rats, Joseph David Zabik

Open Access Dissertations

Since many drugs which are abused by man are taken orally, it was desirable to develop a method suitable to quantitatively and reliably measure oral self-administration of drugs and their effects on behavior in experimental animals.

Water deprived rats were trained to lick for drug solutions (4.34 ul/lick) and bar press for food on a Fixed Interval (FI) 60 second schedule and press another bar for secondary reinforcements on a Fixed Ratio (FR)-5 schedule as three concurrent operants. Non-discriminated responding was inconsequential. An appropriate drug solution was substituted for water or the drugs were injected intraperitoneally before the session. For …


Sex-Role Development In Psychiatrically Disturbed Adolescent Males And Their Parents, Arnold Charles Small Jan 1974

Sex-Role Development In Psychiatrically Disturbed Adolescent Males And Their Parents, Arnold Charles Small

Open Access Dissertations

Seventeen antisocial, 17 mixed psychiatric, and 17 normal adolescents were compared in regard to their sex-role development. It was hypothesized that antisocial adolescents would display a more feminine unconscious sex-role identity and more conscious masculinity than normal adolescents, with the mixed group intermediate between the two. Also, their perceptions of the sex-role behavior of their parents were examined. It was expected that the disturbed groups would perceive greater sex-role inappropriateness in their parents. Lastly, they were compared for the possession of certain personality traits traditionally classified as masculine or feminine.

The fathers and mothers of the adolescents were also compared …

Acute Grief In Adulthood: Toward A Cognitive Model Of Normal And Pathological Mourning, Allen G. Schor Jan 1974

Acute Grief In Adulthood: Toward A Cognitive Model Of Normal And Pathological Mourning, Allen G. Schor

Open Access Dissertations

The 'cognitive model' in this treatise is proposed as an original method of understanding, describing and explaining the acute grief process and outcome. The model suggests that the primary impact of a sudden death event is upon the survivor's conceptual frame-of-reference. This differs from the traditional psychoanalytic view of mourning which emphasizes the emotional impact as being foremost.

Man's typical functioning is assumed to be dependent on the cognitive dimensions or categories by which he comprehends those events which he encounters. These dimensions are postulated as forming a cognitive structural matrix, in which dimensions relating to significant others are central …

An Economic-Waste Generation Linkage Model For Narragansett Bay, Sidney E. Feld Jan 1973

An Economic-Waste Generation Linkage Model For Narragansett Bay, Sidney E. Feld

Open Access Dissertations

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate how the interaction among economic activities and water-effluent loadings may be quantified for the area surrounding Narragansett Bay. A second objective is to demonstrate how the resulting economic-waste generation model may be used as a tool for public decision-making.

The study concerns itself with economic activity whose water-borne residuals are generated in the Narragansett Bay area and consequently, the study area closely approximates the Narragansett Bay Drainage Basin. This region accounts for over 90 percent and slightly less than 10 percent of Rhode Island's and Massachusetts economic activity respectively.

The model …
