The Effects Of Sex And Sexual Orientation On Attractiveness Judgments: An Evolutionary Interpretation, William R. Jankowiak, Elizabeth M. Hill, James M. Donovan
The Effects Of Sex And Sexual Orientation On Attractiveness Judgments: An Evolutionary Interpretation, William R. Jankowiak, Elizabeth M. Hill, James M. Donovan
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
If attractiveness judgments reflect biologically important reproductive criteria, men should base judgments of potential partners on objective physical criteria more than do women; homosexuals and heterosexuals of the same sex should perceive attractiveness in the same terms, regardless of the sex-object choice. To test this theory, photographs of men and women (20 each) were presented to members of four subject groups, solicited on an opportunistic basis. Subjects were asked to rank the sets of photographs separately on the dimensions of physical attractiveness and general social attractiveness. We found some sex differences across sexual orientation. There was less variation among men …

A Psychological Study Of "Waiting For Godot" Using Jungian And Laingian Representations, Frank Xavier Kosmicki
A Psychological Study Of "Waiting For Godot" Using Jungian And Laingian Representations, Frank Xavier Kosmicki
Student Work
This study is a psychological analysis of Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” employing representational models. Jungian and Laingian representations and are used to explore possibilities and movement in the drama through an examination of themes, symbols, and images. Careful attention is given to maintaining the structural/thematic integrity of the art by allowing the play’s shape to determine the form of the representatives. Models of the psyche are proposed within Jungian and Laingian frameworks that treat the characters in the play as fragments of a whole personality. The psychic splits are considered as results of the conflict between personal, transcendent experience …
Coaching Behaviors In Youth Sports, Mary Elizabeth Davis
Coaching Behaviors In Youth Sports, Mary Elizabeth Davis
Student Work
Cooper (1980) identified two models of organizing and supervising youth sport participants. The first is the Championship model, characterized by an emphasis on competition and winning; the Developmental model, with the emphasis being on the development o f basic skills, rules, and strategies of the game. Most importantly the Developmental model stresses that all players should be allowed the opportunity to enjoy participating in the sport. The present research was intended to develop a means to reliably categorize a coach as adhering to a Championship or Developmental orientation and subsequently determine what effect the orientation would have on participants’ satisfaction …
Identifying Differences Among Male Sex Offenders: Child Molesters Versus Exhibitionists Versus Voyeurs, David P. Defrancesco
Identifying Differences Among Male Sex Offenders: Child Molesters Versus Exhibitionists Versus Voyeurs, David P. Defrancesco
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Social histories and testing data were compiled during initial placement assessments of 147 individuals arrested and charged as child molesters, exhibitionists, and voyeurs. These data were statistically analyzed using discriminant analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Child molesters, exhibitionists, and voyeurs were found to differ with regards to history of voyeurism; Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) L scale scores; sexual arousal in response to a violent scenario involving a 12-year-old male, measured via penile plethysmography; and age. Implications of these results are discussed relative to the population sampled and future research.

A Comparison Of Unidimensional And Multidimensional Locus Of Control Scales For The Measurement Of The Effects Of Self-Regulation Training, Alan Joseph Paduano
A Comparison Of Unidimensional And Multidimensional Locus Of Control Scales For The Measurement Of The Effects Of Self-Regulation Training, Alan Joseph Paduano
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
Comprehensive training in self regulation (SR) (including biofeedback training, relaxation techniques, and cognitive therapy principles) has been proposed as a means of affecting change in individual locus of control (LOC) orientation. The current study directly compared a uni-dimensional LOC scale (Ratter, 1966) with a multidimensional LOC scale (Levenson, 1973) in the ability to detect changes in the LOC orientation. Other effects of SR training were measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Scale (STAY) and the Irrational Beliefs Test (IBT). Nineteen participants in a biofeedback/stress reduction class completed a course in SR training. The pre-test/post-test results were compared with those of a …

Effects Of The Family Cluster Experience On Family Member's Perception Of The Quality Of Their Family As A Unit, Terry Coleman
Student Work
This study grew out of a need to examine the possibilities of family enrichment programs as opposed to remedial programs. A review of the literature revealed that no previous outcome research has been published regarding the Family Cluster. The purpose of the study was to use the Family Cluster model with families perceiving weaknesses, as identified by the Family Strengths Inventory, to determine if those weaknesses may be significantly improved. The experimental design used was the Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. Initially ten intact families were identified to take part in the study, five randomly assigned to experimental group and five …
The Moderating Effects Of Moral Development And Dogmatism Upon An Interviewer's Saliency Of Applicant Gender And Information Level During Preliminary Employment Decisions, Konney Jay Larwood
The Moderating Effects Of Moral Development And Dogmatism Upon An Interviewer's Saliency Of Applicant Gender And Information Level During Preliminary Employment Decisions, Konney Jay Larwood
Student Work
Two potential moderating effects were investigated in a replication of a study investigating the saliency of applicant gender and information level upon preliminary employment decisions. The moderator of moral development was defined by Rest's Defining Issues Test, and the moderator of dogmatism was defined by Rokeach's Dogmatism Scale. These moderator variables were employed to explain the unusually inferior ratings given to female applicants in a low job-relevant information condition in the original study. Subjects were 60 undergraduate students in a pilot study and 244 undergraduate students in the main study. A 2 X 2 X 3 factorial design was used …
Variables Affecting Teacher Attitudes Concerning Regular Classroom Placement Of Children With Disabilities., Kristine A. Kelly
Variables Affecting Teacher Attitudes Concerning Regular Classroom Placement Of Children With Disabilities., Kristine A. Kelly
Student Work
The Regular Education Initiative (REI) and the Renewed Service Delivery System (RSDS) are educational reforms movements which advocate the placement of handicapped students in the regular education program. Although the REI and RSDS have been gaining increasing attention, the movements have not escaped criticism. One of the criticisms is that regular classroom teachers' views regarding many of the beliefs and assumptions underlying the REI and RSDS have not been adequately addressed and evaluated. The present study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between specific variables and teachers' attitudes toward the proposed changes and underlying assumptions of the REI and RSDS. …

Dressing Old Wounds: Excuse-Validation And Other Forms Of Social Support, Kathy Denton
Dressing Old Wounds: Excuse-Validation And Other Forms Of Social Support, Kathy Denton
Digitized Theses
Two studies were conducted to examine the use and effectiveness of excuse-validation and other forms of social support in reducing negative affect and attributions of responsibility associated with real life negative events. Excuse-validation involves a verbal or non-verbal, positive response (e.g., "I agree") to an excuse (e.g., "The exam was unfair"). Conversations about a negative experience held by preadolescent, adolescent, or adult subjects and one of their friends (Study 1) or between adult subjects and a supportive stranger (Study 2) were video-taped and coded for the frequency of several types of supportive behavior. Affect and attribution questionnaires were administered prior …
The Effect Of Expectancy Of Analgesic Efficacy On Analgesic Effectiveness For Experimental And Clinical Pain, Manon Houle
The Effect Of Expectancy Of Analgesic Efficacy On Analgesic Effectiveness For Experimental And Clinical Pain, Manon Houle
Digitized Theses
The study evaluated the effects of expectation of analgesic efficacy on subsequent analgesic effectiveness for experimental and clinical pain. The experimental pain consisted of noxious heat pulses (45-51 C) delivered to the inside of the forearm. After providing baseline visual analogue scale ratings (VAS) of the sensory intensity and the unpleasantness of the heat pulses, sixty subjects were divided into two groups--a hi-expectancy group, made to expect a potent analgesic and a lo-expectancy group, made to expect an ineffective drug. In either case, half of each group received a potent analgesic while the other half received a placebo. Forty-five minutes …
Anxiety And Language Learning From A Stages Of Processing Perspective, Peter D. Macintyre
Anxiety And Language Learning From A Stages Of Processing Perspective, Peter D. Macintyre
Digitized Theses
Language anxiety is the apprehension experienced when students are confronted with a situation involving use of limited second language skills. Previous studies have shown that anxiety specific to language learning situations is negatively associated with measures of second language achievement.;The three studies that make up this dissertation are concerned with providing answers to two main issues that have been raised in the literature on language anxiety. The first concerns the relation of language anxiety to various indices of attitudes and motivation that have been implicated in second language learning. The results of Study 1 support the conclusion that language anxiety …

Life Stress, Appraisals Of Diabetes, Coping And Long Term Blood Glucose Control In Adults With Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus: A Twelve Week Study, Owen Jon Garrett
Digitized Theses
Although there is a general consensus in the literature of a relationship between stress and blood glucose control in individuals with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), the extent and nature of this relationship is not well understood. The present study addressed several questions and hypotheses regarding proposed relationships between life stress, long term blood glucose control, coping with diabetic problems and cognitive appraisals of diabetes in persons with IDDM. A longitudinal, prospective research design was used in which fifty-seven persons were followed over two consecutive six week periods. A composite measure of life stress was developed and interrelationships among appraisals …

The Relation Between Stress And Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus: Physiologic Arousal Or Disruption Of Compliance?, Virginia Diane Garrett
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The relations between minor life events, compliance, urinary free cortisol, and blood glucose in 40 adults with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus was examined. Specifically, this study explored whether naturally-occurring minor stressful events had disruptive effects on metabolic control through: (a) an arousal mechanism mediated by cortisol, (b) disruption of the individual's adherence to prescribed treatment, (c) a combination of arousal and disruption of compliance, or (d) a third, unspecified mechanism. Stress did not influence metabolic control, either independently or via a stress-compliance or stress-arousal mechanism although stress was related to cortisol activity. Neither the direct effects of cortisol nor a cortisol …

Dietary Restraint, Disinhibition Of Eating, And Resting Metabolic Rate In Women., Olga J. Lawson
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The effects of control (dieting) and loss of control over eating (overeating) on resting metabolic rate (RMR) were examined in a sample of 44 normal premenopausal women. A 2 (Restraint: High and Low) x 2 (Disinhibition: High and Low) design was utilized. Subjects were selected by their scores on the restraint and disinhibition scales of Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (Stunkard & Messick, 1985). The four groups were: women who alternated between dieting and overeating (HR/HD); women who dieted without overeating (HR/LD); women who did not diet or overeat (LR/LD); and women who did not diet and repeatedly overate (LR/HD). Body …

The Effects Of Politically Biased Performance Appraisal On Ratee Job Attitudes And Desire To Respond To Feedback., Al Charles Schnur
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The present study examined the relationships of politics in appraisal and political use of appraisal to ratee attitudes and desire to respond to appraisal feedback. Hypotheses were developed from research on politics in appraisal, the feedback process model of Ilgen, Fisher, and Taylor, 1979, and equity theory (Adams, 1965). Negative relationships between politics and dependent variables were predicted. Two studies were conducted. Study 1 used 97 professionals in two organizations to test the effects of hypothetical political use of appraisal on their attitudes and desire to respond to appraisal feedback. Study 2 used 98 professionals in an insurance company to …

Teachers completed the CTRS-39 on 100 boys assigned to one of four groups based on IQ and scores on a DSM-III-R checklist of the symptoms for Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (AD-HD). The groups included a normal control group, children with AD-HD, mentally retarded children, and mentally retarded children with AD-HD. There were no significant differences between the AD-HD group and the mentally retarded AD-HD group on all but one of the Conners' Factors and no significant differences on the IOWA Conners' Scales that were extracted from the CTRS-39. Mentally retarded children in general were found to be more anxious than their …
A Comparison Of The Physiological Responses Of Brain-Damaged Alcoholics, Nonbrain-Damaged Alcoholics, And Social Drinkers To The Smell Of Alcohol., Fredric D. Klug
A Comparison Of The Physiological Responses Of Brain-Damaged Alcoholics, Nonbrain-Damaged Alcoholics, And Social Drinkers To The Smell Of Alcohol., Fredric D. Klug
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study reviews the relapse prevention and neuropsychological literature relevant to alcoholism. The argument was made that impaired neuropsychological functioning may be an important determinant of relapse. Specifically, neuropsychological impairment was expected to affect the manner in which individuals respond to conditioned alcohol cues so as to increase their attention to the cues and increase their desire to drink, a process which might adversely affect recovery. In order to study the impact of conditioned alcohol cues, subjective, objective, and psychophysiological responses of brain-damaged alcoholics, nonbrain-damaged alcoholics, and nonbrain-damaged social drinkers were compared on their responses to alcohol and to water. …

Improving Long-Term Adherence To Fluid Restrictions In Hemodialysis Patients., Kevin Dale Everett
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The goals of this project were to investigate factors that predicted nonadherence to fluid restrictions for patients on hemodialysis, and to evaluate a relatively long-term behavioral intervention to improve adherence to recommended fluid requirements. One hundred forty-one subjects were recruited from outpatient dialysis clinics in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In the prediction study, several medical and demographic variables as well as psychological variables of health locus of control, depressed mood, and social support were placed into a regression equation to determine the variance of fluid noncompliance predicted. It was found that variables of being male, educated, younger, and having an external …
