Relationship Of Field Dependence/Independence To Personality For Younger And Older Adults, Thomas T. Lambirth Jan 1983

Relationship Of Field Dependence/Independence To Personality For Younger And Older Adults, Thomas T. Lambirth

Masters Theses

The cognitive style of field dependence/independence is a perceptual construct that relates degree of reliance on the visual field to a variety of personality variables. Among the relationships found are that the field independent individuals are less involved with other people, independent in judgment, and cold and distant in interpersonal relationships. In contrast, field dependent subjects are seen as seeking close involvement with others, conforming in judgment, and warm and accepting in interpersonal relationships. Although field dependence/independence has received much attention in the literature over the years, little interest has been shown in the relationship between field dependence/independence and personality …

Health Knowledge Assessment Of College Freshmen Educated In South Dakota K-12, Nadeen E. Lunde Jan 1983

Health Knowledge Assessment Of College Freshmen Educated In South Dakota K-12, Nadeen E. Lunde

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Nothing in life is so taken for granted when possessed, or so missed when lost, as is health. Therefore, it is essential to possess basic facts if each individual is to take advantage of medical science advances, protect himself against quackery, and obtain an optimum level of health. Health education is recognized by leading educators as of vital importance in educating our youth, but health education has not established itself in a way comparable to other subjects. Kilander noted this fact as early as 1937, and yet, 46 years later, South Dakota's health education programs have not been established. Many …

Intimations Of Immorality: Clones, Cyrons And The Law, George P. Smith Ii Jan 1983

Intimations Of Immorality: Clones, Cyrons And The Law, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

This article examines some legal and moral issues associated with two developing areas of biomedicine; cloning and cryonics. The author firstly considers the practical benefits to society of developing perfecting and utilizing the process of cloning. These include the ability to overcome inheritable genetic defects and the provision of organs for transplantation. Against this must be weighed some moral and ethical problems of genetic engineering. Professor Smith then discusses the process of deep-freezing a person and the development of cryonics as a social movement. The major legal problem stemming from cryonics is determining the time at which a cryonically suspended …

Students As Resources To The Aging Network, James P. Firman, Donlad E. Gelfand, Catherine Ventura Jan 1983

Students As Resources To The Aging Network, James P. Firman, Donlad E. Gelfand, Catherine Ventura

Intergenerational

In times of shrinking resources and growing needs, the aging network must increase its efforts to involve the voluntary sector in services and programs for the aged. A relatively untapped source of manpower is our nation's 12,300,000 students in 3,200 colleges and universities. This article, based on the findings of a national demonstration project, examines feasible outcomes and practical limitations of service-learning as an approach for increasing the involvement of students in providing services to older persons.

Exploring Children's Attitudes Toward The Elderly, Beverly Moore Smith Jan 1983

Exploring Children's Attitudes Toward The Elderly, Beverly Moore Smith

Graduate Research Papers

The number of persons in the United States over the age of 65 has grown faster than the population as a whole. Projections for the years 2000 and 2020 show 13% and 18% of the population over 65, respectively. This growth is attributed to a static birth rate and an upsurge in life expectancy. The fact that 25% of the American voters are elderly has captured attention in the political arena. Despite the growing recognition of the unique problems and needs of the aged, social policies fall short of meeting their requirements for a secure and dignified life.

The Placement Information Base: Its Utility And Meaning For Nursing Home Placement Decisions, Darlene Schroedl Mckenzie

Dissertations and Theses

The State of Oregon is using the Placement Information Base, PIB, as part of an assessment process to determine the type of placement needed by Medicaid clients. While used for functional assessment, PIB has not been empirically studied for its use as a screening or predictive instrument to differentiate between the need for nursing home care and community care. This dissertation addresses the question of whether PIB is suitable for use as a screening instrument for nursing home placement decisions. Both PIB's measurement and predictive capabilities are examined. Using secondary PIB data on 2287 elderly Department of Human Resources clients, …

The Needs Of Older People As Seen By Themselves And Support Providers, Sarah Movius Schurr Jan 1983

The Needs Of Older People As Seen By Themselves And Support Providers, Sarah Movius Schurr

Dissertations and Theses

This study compares perceptions of older people's needs from two vantage points: needs as seen by the older people themselves, and the needs of the elders as seen by their family support group. Two hypotheses were examined. The first hypothesis was that the elders and the support people would disagree on the needs of the elders. Secondly, the disagreement would be strongest on more abstract needs, like life satisfaction and contact with the opposite sex.

Results from this cross-sectional survey depict the sample as well educated, professional, financially secure, politically liberal women in good health who are selective with whom they reveal their sexual orientation. The knowledge of their lesbianism is shared more with female friends than with family …
