Poe Per Se, Robert Williamson Storrs Iv

Theses and Dissertations

There are four elements involved in this production of Poe per se which make it interesting and suitable as a thesis: the actor, the subject, the format, and the audience. I will discuss the problems posed by each and the methods of attack I will pursue to those problems. I will then describe the evolution of the script from research through performance. My conclusion will be an assessment of the success of the script in solving my acting problems.

The Pedestal Effect And Pastors' Friendships, Tegan Blackbird

Theses and Dissertations

Traditionally, the ministry has had a reputation for being a very lonely profession. Although widely acknowledged in the literature, no empirical research seems to be available investigating the nature of this alleged problem. On the basis of information gathered from the literature and fran a number of interviews with several pastors in the Grand Forks area, the present study set out to investigate ministerial loneliness by qualitatively assessing and comparing a) the nature of the friendships of a population of pastors with those of matched control laymen, and b) the amount of discomfort aroused by the presence of those pastors …

Transitional Objects, Hypnotic Phenomena And Personality Characteristics, Keith N. Cohen

Theses and Dissertations

In the current investigation aspects of experience and personality in adult life were objectively assessed in relation to the childhood use of transitional objects. Experiences identified as characteristic of the "intermediate area" included those of deep and intense involvement. Hypnotic susceptibility, "absorption" phenomena, and personal interests and pursuits were measured as experiences representative of this realm. The study also sought to establish further correlative links between early use of transitional objects and adult personality traits and characteristics. Information regarding the early attachment to special inanimate objects was obtained through self- and parental-reports to questionnaires designed to survey parameters of object …

A Production Approach To The Shadow Box: A Thematic Study Of Death And Dying, Michael Joseph Kramer

Theses and Dissertations

Life continually ceases to exist, making death a mysterious frontier that even learned people have been unable to grasp. Death has been the subject of all genres of literature where answers to this phenomena have been infinitely scrutinized. Within the last few decades, a curiosity over the unknown dinensions of death has risen. Literature has also shared this curiosity. In the late seventies, Michael Cristofer's The Shadow Box adopted the theories of contemporary research and depicted three social units adjusting to the dying process. My purpose in this study has been three-fold: to compare other twentieth century plays on death …

Consensus Information In The Newspaper Advice Columns, Danel E. Rubanowitz

Theses and Dissertations

The present study investigated the naturalistic use of consis tency, distinctiveness and consensus information, which are the three information variables in Kelley's (1967) covariation model of attribu tion. Newspaper advice columns were used as a naturalistic source of social data.

The first question addressed in this study was whether or not Kelley's (1967) three information variables are ecologically valid. If perceivers in the "real world" actually use covariation information to support or defend their attributions, then it should be possible to reliably locate these pieces of information. If the information is used, it would be possible to examine whether perceivers …

Differences In Experiences: A Study Of Handicapped And Nonhandicapped Young Children In A Mainstreamed Preschool, Linda L. Reiten

Theses and Dissertations

Purpose. The first purpose of this study was to determine the differences in classroom experiences of four mainstreamed preschool children, two handicapped and two nonhandicapped. To determine these differences, three questions were asked: (1) Do teachers and peers interact differently with handicapped than with nonhandicapped children? (2) Is the use of the physical space in the classroom different for handicapped than for nonhandicapped? (3) What are some of the qualitative differences in the classroom experiences of the handicapped and nonhandicapped children?

The second purpose of this study was to draw out the themes that constituted the differences in experiences. The …
