Early Adolescence And Prosocial/Moral Behavior Ii: The Role Of Social And Contextual Influences, Gustavo Carlo, Richard A. Fabes, Deborah Laible, Kristina Kupanoff

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

This is the second installment of the special issue on prosocial and moral development in early adolescence. This issue focuses on social and contextual processes in young adolescents’ prosocial and moral behaviors. In this introductory article, a brief review of the research on parents or family, peers, school environment, culture, and nationality as correlates of prosocial and moral development was presented. The research indicates that the social context plays an important role in prosocial and moral development. However, research on the social and contextual correlates of prosocial and moral development in early adolescence is at an embryonic stage. Research is …

Stamka V. Minister Of The Interior, Mishael Cheshin, Dalia Dorner, Dorit Beinisch

Translated Opinions

For many years, the Ministry of the Interior interpreted the Law of Return, 5710-1950, such that a non-Jew who married a Jewish Israeli citizen was entitled – upon marriage – to the status of a Jew under the Law of Return, and to the status of an oleh [Jewish immigrant] under the Nationality Law, 5712-1952. In 1995, the Ministry of the Interior changed its view. According to the new interpretation, that non-Jewish partner would not fall within the scope of the Law of Return, and consequently, would not be entitled to the rights granted a Jew, including the right to …

The Universal Nature Of Hatred: Keith Stimely And The Culture Of Holocaust Denial, Linda Maizels

Dissertations and Theses

A partial accounting of the discord beneath the seeming conformity of opinion within the insular community of the proponents of Holocaust denial was documented and preserved by Keith Stimely, a Holocaust denier who donated his personal papers to the University of Oregon Special Collections Library in 1991. The thesis uses the Stimely Collection to emphasize the universal nature of the hatred and animosity inherent in the denial movement.

Chapter One surveys revisionist historiography concerning both world wars and the manner in which the deniers appropriated the trappings of revisionism in their attempt to rewrite the history of the Nazi genocide …

Cochlear Implants, A Study Of Children Implanted Prelingually And Postlingually: What Age Best Facilitates Oral Language Development, Lisa A. Stillwagon

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the most appropriate age for young hearing impaired children to receive a cochlear implant that would best facilitate oral language development. The study compared the oral language skills of five hearing impaired preschoolers, before and after implantation. Information was obtained through student case files including both formal and informal records and reports. Records included: progress reports, IEPs, audiological evaluations, and speech and language assessments.

The results of the study indicated that the development of oral language skills in hearing impaired preschoolers who received cochlear implants at ages 3 and 4 varies due …

An Evaluation Of The Effects Of Project Read On The Reading Achievement Of Primary Age Disabled Learners, Susan L. Pennock

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a multisensory approach to reading being used in the West Windsor-Plainsboro School District's Special Services Department. Project Read, developed by Language Circle Enterprises, is being used to teach phonology, comprehension, and written expression to students with learning disabilities. A pull-out approach is used with the second and third grades in one elementary school. Students are mainstreamed for homeroom, lunch, science and social studies. They are pulled out and sent to a Learning Center in the school for reading, language arts, and math. Reading scores were used from the previous …

An Investigation Of Non-Verbal Auditory Cues Within Graphical User Interfaces, Christopher Hahn

Theses

As we approach the end of the century and enter into a digital era there is a need to concentrate on new methods of communication. The expansion of personal computers into the industrial sector and more recently into the home, has brought the ability to transmit various forms of data to the average user. This new ability is accompanied with a responsibility to communicate effectively and clearly. This study focuses on the ability of user interfaces to effectively communicate combinations of visual and auditory cues to produce a more comprehensive user experience. This work proposed that the addition of auditory …

Stab Deletions, Eugene J. Ulrich

Word Ways

Here are some little puzzles based on the fifty two-letter stats abbreviations (STABs) such as AK, AL, AR,AZ, CA... In these puzzles, we begin with a fairly long word and from it remove pairs of adjacent letters that form a STAB so as to leave a much shorter word or term. For example, starting with MINCEMEAT, by deleting MI,NC,MS,ME we have EAT left. Or, starting with MINUTEMAN, by deleting IN,UT,MA we have MEN left. In this case, we chose to delete IN instead of MI, which would have left us with the non-word NEN. Now try your luck with these.

Emit Time Item, Michael Keith

Word Ways

In any of the three texts below, select a word in the first line and use the word-stepping procedure described by Martin Gardner in the Aug 1998 Word Ways: count the number of letters in the word, step ahead by that many words, and repeat this process with each new word reached. The first word arrived at in the next-to-last time is always TIME, no matter what the starting word is. Try it!

Willard Espy, 1910-1999

Word Ways

Willard Espy, wordplay's great and good friend, died in New York on February 20, 1999 at the age of 88. It is difficult to do justice to this many-faceted man in a short tribute. I first learned of him when he published his first wordplay book, The Game of Words, in 1972. I reviewed it in the August 1972 Word Ways, mildly chiding him for an inadequate index and the lack of up-to-date examples of transposals and word squares.

Let Your Fingers Do The Wordplay, Michael Keith, Dave Mroice

Word Ways

Dmitri Borgmann's Language on Vacation includes the following tibit concerning wordplay and the telephone dial: "It appears that the longest word which can be dialed using only letters that appear with odd numerals is WELL-EXPRESSED, and that... with even numerals NONCOMMUNICATING." It seems to us that the first example is an adjectival phrase; the longest single words appear to be PERPLEXEDLY or SLEEPLESSLY. (If you want a longer adjectival phrase, consider the sentence "SELFLESSLY-DEFERRED pleasures are often the best kind.") We can't quibble with the second example except to point out that NONCONTAMINATING ties it for length.

Wuthering Flapdocks! Yet More Bisograms, James Puder

Word Ways

A word in which no two letters are the same is often called an isogram. In an article in the August 1998 Word Ways, Eric Chaikin coined the term bisogram to identify word pairs in which no letters occur more than once. High-quality bisograms are essentially defined as those which contain only uncapitalized unhyphenated unabbreviated words which are listed in boldface type in Webster's Third; appropriate noun

A History Of Word Puzzling, Mary J. Hazard

Word Ways

The National Puzzlers' League, founded as the Eastern Puzzlers' League in New York City in 1883, is devoted to the creation and solution of versified word puzzles, as popular in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as crosswords and cryptograms are today. In the fall of 1998, the League privately published The National Puzzlers' League--The First 115 Years, a 380-page bound volume issued free (upon request) to its members and available to others for $14 plus postage (the editor has copies available).

Deep In A Can I Peed, John E. Connett

Palindromists have a reputation for racy subject-matter. Remember Dennis and Edna who (often with others) sinned? Or Naomi's lover who moans that sex at noon taxes? Or the anonymous slut who nixes sex in Tulsa? Other bodily functions can be similarly celebrated.

A Ryde Through The Country, William Young

Word Ways

Once upon a time, there was an innocent young woman who called herself the MAIDEN BRADLEY, but everyone knew her as Nancy. Nancy lived out in the country at the end of a LONG STREET in a small house next to many GREAT ELM trees. She loved the huge trees, and told her friends that she could sit and watCH ELMS FOR Days without getting bored. She was especially fascinated by a large NEST ON top of one of the trees which was occupied by two ferocious hawks.

Reverse Homophonic Charades, Susan Thorpe

Word Ways

Pronunciation, as we know, varies widely, not only between the United Kingdom and the United States, but within the United Kingdom itself. From this article, you may correctly deduce that my roots lie in the north of England, rather than the south of England where I now live. Most of the unfamiliar words can be found in the Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition.

The Enigmatic Yams Of May, James Puder

Word Ways

In May, a palindromist's fancy turns to thoughts of John Pool's old chestnut, "May a banana nab a yam? Although modern palindromy cannot yet produce a plummy answer to this pithy question, it has raised a bumper crop of nutty queries from the same palindromical rootstock.

How Many Alphomes Are There?, Rex Gooch

Word Ways

An alphome consists of the letters of a word arranged in alphabetic order. In "The Commonest Alphomes" in this issue, I presented the most common alphomes for many word-lengths. Here I look at alphomes en masse, but only dealing with those found in well-known dictionaries.

The Commonest Alphomes, Rex Gooch

Word Ways

An alphome consists of the letters of a word placed in alphabetical order, AEGINRST, AELRST and others have been the subject of intensive work over many years, the object being that make as many words as possible using each letter just once per word. Although I agree that these strings were the most common (or threreabouts) of their length, I note that the lists produced were more than an order of magnitude larger than the number of occurrences even in the largest dictionary I have seen.
