The Selective Retention Of Favorable, Neutral, And Unfavorable Statements About Men And Women Measured By Signal Detection, Ronald L. Matthew

Theses and Dissertations

The selective retention hypothesis states that people tend to remember information which is consistent with their attitudes and forget information which is contrary to their attitudes. This hypothesis has been shown to depend upon such factors as the sex of the subject, ego-involvement, the function that learning the material may serve for the subject, the nature of the audience to whom one must communicate, the affective nature of the material, prior familiarity with the material, and the cognitive structure of the subject.

The present study is an attempt to further explore the role of affective material and cognitive structure as …

Informal testing consisted of oral reporting on individually chosen prose fiction to achieve an estimated "book report" comprehension. This is the …

Charles Alexander Eastman One Man's Journey In Two Worlds, David Reed Miller

Theses and Dissertations

The recent historical resurgence in the study of American Indian culture has again revived an interest in the writings of Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman (Santee Dakota, 1858-1939). Dr. Eastman's life epitomized the struggle of American Indians to gain white educations and positions in white society at the close of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. American history has failed to recognize many American Indian leaders of achievement and importance, and this study intends to illuminate the details of Charles Eastman's active and diverse life.

Charles Eastman was born near Redwood Falls in the camp of his great-grandfather, Cloudman. …

An Investigation Of Pure Tone Threshold During Menses And Post Menses Using Short Duration Signals, Sandra Hedler Washer

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine if threshold change occurred during menses and two post menses time periods. Sixteen female subjects, using the Bekesy tracing method, determined thresholds for 1 KHz and 4 KHz for signal durations of 2 msec, 20 msec, and 500 msec.

The results indicated that there was no significant difference (p>.05) for the thresholds of 1 KHz and 4 KHz at any duration over the three test times. However, there was a significant second degree trend present at 1 KHz for the 20 msec signal.

A comparison was made between the thresholds obtained …

The Effect Of Dependency On Acceptance Of Positive And Negative Generalized Personality Interpretations, Richard L. Templeton

Theses and Dissertations

The study examined the relationship between dependency and acceptance of generalized personality interpretations (both positive and negative). It was hypothesized that (1) positive interpretations would be accepted more readily than negative interpretations by both dependent and independent subjects; (2) independents and dependents would not differ in their acceptance of positive interpretations; and (3) independents would accept negative interpretations less readily than would dependents.

Results from two data analyses based on rating scales showed that positive interpretations were rated as significantly more accurate than negative interpretations. A third analysis based on subjects' open-ended responses revealed no differences between subjects who received …

The Politics Of Independence: A Case Study Of Nigeria From 1960-1970, Kofi Johnson

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is on the "Politics of Independence" in Nigeria. On October 1, I960, Nigeria gained independence as a federation with three main regions: Northern, Western and Eastern. Unruffled by the complicating factors of political disturbances or a white settler minority like Kenya, the change from the British to independent Nigeria was smooth. Two years after independence, however, the first major crisis broke out in the Western Region which consequently precipitated further crises until the federation reached a breaking point in January 1966. In that month Nigeria's government led by Balewa was toppled by a military coup.

Human Resource Accounting: An Aid To Managerial Decision Making, Stephen H. Vanderver

Theses and Dissertations

Human Resource Accounting, although not entirely new to the field of accounting, is finding resistance in becoming established. Certain problems must be settled before HRA can be completely accepted by accountants and managers alike.

The many proposals that have emerged, both the traditional approaches and those departing from traditional accounting, have not been fully tested. Only a few instances are reported wherein Human Resource Accounting applications have been attempted. However, much more research and testing will be needed in · order to make HRA a fully acceptable form of accounting. Until such time, Human Resource Accounting can be effectively used …

A Critical Analysis Of Bennett Reimer's Philosphy Of Music Education, James William Hildebrand

The purpose of the study is to determine the ontological nature of the ar-symbol which evolves out of Reimer's philosophy of music and music education. The result is a developmental and evaluative perspective regarding the contemporary music educator as the listener, the performer, and the composer.

This study traces inductively the origins of Reimer's philosophy to Benedetto Croce's concept of the expressionistic mind, John Dewey's concept of an art work, and Susanne K. Langer's concept of the art-symbol. reier synthesizes these origins into three basic concepts: creation, …
