The Compliance-Seeking Process From The Perspective Of The Respondent: The Role Of Goals In Responses To Requests., Barbara L. Woods

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study examined compliance seeking from the perspective of recipients of direct requests with respect to types of responses, goals, liking, and locus of control. A total of 211 employed adults completed a survey that included responses to hypothetical request scenarios involving liked and disliked co-workers, measures of goals factors, and a measure of locus of control. Six types of responses were identified: simple agreement, elaborated agreement, simple refusal, refusal with reasons, request more information, and postpone decision. Participants reported a tendency to agree with requests, regardless of liking. Factor analyses revealed three-factor models for the liked and disliked conditions. …

The Effects Of Augmented Feedback On Students' Perceptions And Performance., Karen Anne Buckner Fredenburg

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The focus of this study was to investigate the effects of various augmented feedback conditions on students' self-perceptions of ability (SPA), practice behaviors, and performance during motor skill instruction of a novel task. Fourth grade physical education students (n = 103) participating in a one week instructional unit on the skill of cupstacking were randomly assigned to one of four feedback conditions: (a) no feedback, (b) motivational feedback, (c) task or informational feedback, and (d) motivational and task feedback combined. While students practiced simple (3 x 6 x 3) and complex (1 x 10 x 1) cupstacking skills, instruction and …

Educational Costs And Cost Recovery In Developing Countries: The Case Of Mali., Mohamed Cherif Diarra

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study explores the basic types, major determinants, and behavioral characteristics of educational costs in developing countries in general, and higher education in particular in Mali for 1985-1996. A conceptual proposal of cost recovery in higher education consisting of three basic components--a tuition price, a student loan program, and a higher education payment package--is presented. Relationships among economic and human factors, and attitudes toward cost recovery are examined. An instrument was developed to test the feasibility of the cost recovery proposal through the perspectives of several stakeholder groups--students, parents, administrators, faculty, and legislators. The quantitative part of the study was …

A Case Study Analysis Of The Impact Peer Coaching Has On Assisting First And Third Grade Teachers In The Implementation Of Portfolio Assessment., Lila D. Finney

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In this period of controversy and uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of our public schools, educators face many problems in teaching today's children. One specific area of concern relates to assessment. An increasing number of teachers have turned to the use of portfolios to document the literacy growth of their students. If teachers are to use portfolio assessment to measure student achievement accurately, effective staff training is necessary. The purpose of this study was to observe six teachers, in grades one and three, as they implemented portfolio assessment with the assistance of two peer coaches. This study describes the peer coaching …

Self-Schemata For Sport And Physical Activity: The Influence Of Race And Gender., Louis Harrison Jr

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The most recent Surgeon General's report underscores the need for increased levels of regular physical activity in the general population, and in women and minorities in particular. Variations in participation patterns in particular sports and physical activities may provide insight into the reasons for differing activity levels in women and minorities. The present investigation studied the influence of race and gender on activity choices by regarding specific sport and physical activities as self-defining for race and gender groups. Study 1 was designed to confirm the existence of self-schemata for sport and physical activities. A computer generated instrument was employed to …

Modeling Hrm In Context: Examining The Role Of Human Resource Manager Discretion., Elyssa Blanton Schultz

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation presents a model focusing on human resource manager discretion and its role in influencing variations in HRM. Discretion, defined here as the latitude of action of human resource managers, is suggested as an important means of accounting for differing levels of constraint facing the HRM function. Because the model developed here focuses on discretion as a characteristic which is common to theories of choice and environmental determinism in organizational research, it is designed to stimulate future research that simultaneously considers predictions of HRM structure and content that have, to this point, been considered contradictory. In general, the results …

The Potentiation Of Actions By Visual Objects, Michael Richard Edwin Tucker

School of Psychology Theses

This thesis examines the relation between visual objects and the actions they afford. It is proposed that viewing an object results in the potentiation of the actions that can be made towards it. The proposal is consistent with neurophysiological evidence that suggests that no clear divide exists between visual and motor representation in the dorsal visual pathway, a processing stream that neuropsychological evidence strongly implicates in the visual control of actions. The experimental work presented examines motor system involvement in visual representation when no intention to perform a particular action is present. It is argued that the representation of action-relevant …
