The Effects Of A Social Skills Training Program On Interpersonal Communications In Parent Adolescent Dyads, Patrick Sean Noble

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this thesis was two fold. First, there was an experiment in which the independent variable was the behavioral skill levels of parents and their adolescents on a social skills training program and the dependent variable was the parent and adolescent perceptions of their interpersonal relationship regarding communication and problem solving.

The Evolution Of The "Schlemiel" Hero In The Works Of Woody Allen, Marilyn Konigsberg

Student Work

The genesis of this paper is a twenty-year tracking of Woody Allen’s career born out of my fascination with a five-foot-five, one-hundred-twenty-five-pound, red-headed, Jewish, intellectual comic. He was searching for his identity in the 1960’s, when being ethnic and neurotic was not only fashionable but mandatory. My interest was heightened in those early days after seeing him preform as a stand-up comic at the Bitter End in New York and learning that he changed him name from Konigsberg to Allen while I changed my name to Konigsberg.

Communication Tendencies Of Senior Dental Students., David G. Dunning, Brian M. Lange

Journal Articles: College of Dentistry

Although the importance of dentist-patient communication is generally recognized, the dental literature does not specify what interpersonal behaviors can be used as a basis for evaluating dental students' communication skills. A set of behaviors based on clinical observations is described, and an evaluation of 25 senior students' behavioral skills is presented. Students often did not: (1) spend much time orienting patients before beginning treatment; (2) update medical histories; (3) ask patients if they had any questions before beginning treatment; (4) explain the operation and use of equipment; (5) forewarn patients about uncomfortable procedures; (6) attend to signs of patient discomfort; …

A Screening Test For Anomia In Children, Danni Odom-Winn

Theses and Dissertations

It is essential for success in American society that people speak, read, and write well. Educators are mandated with the early diagnosis and correct of problems that detract from these essential competencies. Inadequacies in the formative years, if not correct, become virtually irreversible in later years.

It is generally held that object-naming begins between 12-24 months of age (Bloom and Lahey, 1978). This is the corner stone of communication. A deficiency at this stage of development will severely limit a child's communicative skills throughout his or her entire life.
