Foot-In-The-Door And Cancer Prevention, Danielle J. Dolin

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Foot-in-the-door (FITD) technique was applied to a health care setting to determine if this compliance method could be used toward increasing cancer prevention rates. Self-perception was used as the theoretical explanation for the FITD technique. Subjects were mall merchants attending the setting during two days of a scheduled area health fair. Two groups were run. One cell received both a first and second request (the FITD cell), while the control cell received only the second request. As expected, statistically significant effects indicated higher compliance rates of the FITD group. Attitude measures concerning the general topic of prevention and the topic …

Coanda Effect Jet Around A Cylinder With An Interacting Adjacent Surface., Randolph Allen Churchill

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The effects of placing a plane solid surface in close proximity to a Coanda effect jet turning over a cylindrical surface are investigated to help judge the possible application of this type of jet to manufacturing line processes. The Coanda jet is proposed as a coating control mechanism for fluidic coatings on sheets or a particulate removal device. A Coanda jet placed close to a surface will develop a strong tangential flow that will shear by viscous effects and pressure gradients. A turbulent k-{dollar}\\varepsilon{dollar} finite element model, developed in FIDAP, is presented that studies the effects of cylinder-sheet separation distance …

Simulation Design, Role Identification And Attitude Change In A High Technology Culture, Terry Robert Schumacher

Dissertations and Theses

Gaming-simulations (G-S) are those in which participants play roles, make decisions and receive feedback while interacting with a simulation model. This study used attitude change to measure of G-S effectiveness in exploring questions relating simulation design and effectiveness. To define participant attitudes and the content for a simulation, the organizational culture of a software engineering firm was studied using an ethnographic approach. Inconsistencies between the existing culture and expressed ideals were measured using an 40 item attitude questionnaire drawn from statements made during interviews. Simulation structure and participant cognitive style were factors hypothesized to influence identification with a simulation role. …
