Further Investigation Of The Factor Structure Of The Five Factor Model Of Personality: A Search For Moderator Variables, Kelly Sheehan

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Although somewhat controversial, the Five Factor Model (FFM) of personality has remained prominent in normal personality research. Previous studies involving the FFM of personality have failed to examine individual differences that could moderate the number of factors in the FFM. This study investigated two such individual difference variables: need for cognition and working memory. Instruments measuring the FFM, need for cognition and working memory were administered to a sample of undergraduate students. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis indicated the hypothesized model fit equally well across high and low scoring subgroups of both need for cognition and working memory.

Patterns Of Seasonal And Altitudinal Change In Monteverde Bird Communities, December 2003, Eric Palm

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Previous studies in Monteverde, Costa Rica, have shown that numerous bird species are moving upslope in response to climate change. While there are an increasing number of such studies that address climate change, most fail to incorporate seasonal climatic variation. I censused the birds in three elevational zones in the Monteverde area not only to assess these distributional shifts, but also to determine the effects of season on bird communities. Compared to Michael Fogden’s data from 1979-1992, I found a number of species that have moved into higher zones where they were previously less common or absent. However, the results …

Federal Tenure Denial Litigation Involving Private Colleges And Universities, Robert P. Hamill

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Since 1972, the volume of federal litigation involving faculty and their institutions has escalated. Tenure denial litigation, too, has increased. Prior to 1972, there were no published federal tenure denial decisions involving private colleges and universities. Since 1972, the number of published tenure denial decisions in the private institutional setting has increased steadily. Higher education administrators need to understand the risks that are involved in the tenure review process. These risks include the possibility of a protracted and costly lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could result in having key administrators spend enormous amounts of time preparing for trial and testifying in …
