A Rorschach Study Of Lateralized Differences In Emotion., Gregory James Tharp Jan 1987

A Rorschach Study Of Lateralized Differences In Emotion., Gregory James Tharp

Theses and Dissertations

Several studies in the field of laterality have suggested that the left and right cerebral hemispheres of the brain may play different roles in emotional as well as cognitive processing. A study was conducted to test several specific hypotheses derived from theories proposing that the right hemisphere (RH) may have a generally greater involvement in emotional behavior, may be more expansive and less constrained by rational or conventional thinking, and may be particularly involved in such negative emotions as sadness.Twenty-five male and twenty-five female adult volunteers were each presented five Rorschach slides to the left visual hemifield (LVF) and five …

Edith Wharton And A Modernist Reappraisal: Three Critical Essays, Sue Ellen Sears Jan 1986

Edith Wharton And A Modernist Reappraisal: Three Critical Essays, Sue Ellen Sears

Theses and Dissertations

These three essays focus on the way in which Edith Wharton's reputation as a novelist of manners has limited the full appraisal of her fiction which her skill as a writer deserves.The first essay reviews Wharton's life and development as a "social historian," pointing out stylistic conventions which synthesize her use of culture into an evolution of character development in The Age of Innocence. These conventions, entitled "arch" in this study, include Wharton's use of syntax and diction. Through an analysis of relative proportions of syntactical elements and peculiarities of diction, shifts in style are noted and linked directly to …

A Burkean Logological Analysis Of Doctrine And Covenants Section 88, Joann Farias Jan 1986

A Burkean Logological Analysis Of Doctrine And Covenants Section 88, Joann Farias

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis applies Kenneth Burke's method of logology as exemplified in The Rhetoric of Religion to analyze the Mormon text Doctrine and Covenants Section 88. This method of logology is based on the assumption that what is said about God in theology reveals a religion's use of language to influence human motives. The logological method uses six analogies to discover the motives implicit in religious terminologies. These six analogies are as follows: words-Word, Matter-Spirit, the Negative, the Titular, Time-Eternity, and the Formal.

This study revealed that the terminology contained in Doctrine and Covenants uses motives far diferent from the motives …
