The Incestuous Family: Development Of An Enmeshed Family Inventory, Loretta M. Petrie Dec 1988

The Incestuous Family: Development Of An Enmeshed Family Inventory, Loretta M. Petrie

Theses and Dissertations

A systems model has been proposed as useful theoretical framework for the study of incestuous families (Alexander, 1985) and is frequently used in the therapeutic treatment of the victim of sexual abuse and his or her perpetrator (Larson and Maddock, 1986). The purpose of this study was the construction and standardization of an instrument for assessing a multiaxial model of enmeshed and disengaged family systems which is based on the prior work of Minuchin et al. (1978) and Kog et al. (1987).

Minuchin et al. (1978) suggest that enmeshment, conflict-avoidance, over-protectiveness and rigidity are four characteristics that are key to …


Napoleon And Russia And The Teaty Of Tilsit: Its Implications For Europe, Paul A. Hefti Dec 1988

Napoleon And Russia And The Teaty Of Tilsit: Its Implications For Europe, Paul A. Hefti

Theses and Dissertations

The Treaty of Tilsit of 1807 between Russia and France was a minor slowing of the flow of the Napoleonic Wars that dominated Europe in the early nineteenth century. It united the two nations against Britain, but, in larger terms, it polarized continental Europe into two separate (or distinct) conflicting spheres. The treaty and its effects provided a foreshadowing of post-World War I Europe and the subsequent twentieth-century concept of peaceful coexistence.

The major personalities involved in making the treaty were Alexander I of Russia and Napoleon Bonaparte of France. Their meeting on a boat in the Niemen River had …


Aging, Cognitive Abilities, And Word Frequency As Factors Affecting The Speed Of Lexical Access, Robert A. Laidlaw Dec 1988

Aging, Cognitive Abilities, And Word Frequency As Factors Affecting The Speed Of Lexical Access, Robert A. Laidlaw

Theses and Dissertations

The present study evaluated the impact of age and several individual difference measures on lexical access. Additionally, eight different levels of frequency were evaluated for the stimulus words. These frequency levels were derived from the frequency of usage of these words in common reading materials. The response measured was latency of reading words out loud as they appeared on a screen. The results indicated no difference between older and younger adults on measures of anxiety, depression, or overall health. The older adults scored higher on a measure of vocabulary skills, while the younger adults scored higher on tasks involving abstract …


The Effects Of Hydrocortisone And Caffeine On Memory For Word Lists, Daniel L. Scharf Dec 1988

The Effects Of Hydrocortisone And Caffeine On Memory For Word Lists, Daniel L. Scharf

Theses and Dissertations

Hydrocortisone has frequently been hypothesized to increase arousal. This hypothesis was primarily based on the findings of increased adrenal size in animals who had been exposed to stressful conditions and the enhancement or impairment in cognitive abilities of humans depending on dose. There has been a lack of studies directly looking at the arousal hypothesis of the effects of hydrocortisone. The purpose of this study was to directly assess the effects of hydrocortisone on levels of arousal by manipulating both state and trait arousal. This study used caffeine as a comparison drug that alters state arousal because of its widely …


Perceived Severity Of Informal Sanctions: A Case Study Of Convicted Dui Offenders In Cass County, North Dakota, Terry D. Stratton Dec 1988

Perceived Severity Of Informal Sanctions: A Case Study Of Convicted Dui Offenders In Cass County, North Dakota, Terry D. Stratton

Theses and Dissertations

It Is estimated that alcohol plays a factor in between 35 and 64 c'-rcent of all fatal crashes and between 6 and 25 percent for non-fatal accidents, resulting in alcohol .being involved in about half of the roughly 50,000 annual traffic fatalities in the United States. Clearly, drinking-and driving is a major contributor in both the severity and the frequency of traffic accidents.

The basic concept of deterrence states that people will refrain from behavior defined as socially-unaccc.ptable if the resulting perception and fear of penalties (or sanctions) against such action are adequately undesirable in comparison to the potential benefits …

A Psychometric Examination Of The Mac Scale Within A University Sample., Donna Lynn Kleiner Aug 1988

A Psychometric Examination Of The Mac Scale Within A University Sample., Donna Lynn Kleiner

Theses and Dissertations

The MacAndrew scale (MAC) has been widely utilized as a tool in the assessment of alcohol abuse since its development in 1965. The MAC has generated a moderate amount of research, yet few studies have examined the psychometric properties of the MAC. Its internal consistency and temporal stability, in particular, have been neglected. This investigation was designed as a general evaluation of the psychometric properties of the MAC with a university population, a population for which the MAC has never been studied, but often employed.Subjects (N = 298) were undergraduate students from the University of North Dakota. Subjects in Sample …


Vasopressin's Effect On Sex Differences In Cognitive Functions: Verbal And Spatial Abilities And Verbal-Interference Tasks., Karen Kay Knutson Aug 1988

Vasopressin's Effect On Sex Differences In Cognitive Functions: Verbal And Spatial Abilities And Verbal-Interference Tasks., Karen Kay Knutson

Theses and Dissertations

The effects of a vasopressin analogue, desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) upon cognitive functioning performance was investigated in this study. Forty male and forty female college students were first assessed using the Vocabulary and the Block Design subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) to determine their verbal and spatial-visualization ability levels. Then they were treated intranasally with either DDVAP (60 ug), or an equal volume of saline. Finally, subjects were tested using these cognitive measures: The Paper Folding Test, the Stroop Color and Word Test and twelve lists of semantically unrelated words.Analyses of variance of the test data identified several …
