Conversion To The World View Of Alcoholics Anonymous: A Refinement Of Conversion Theory, David R. Rudy, Arthur L. Greil Jan 1983

Conversion To The World View Of Alcoholics Anonymous: A Refinement Of Conversion Theory, David R. Rudy, Arthur L. Greil

Faculty Research at Morehead State University

Most empirical studies of the conversion process have focused on individuals who have come to espouse the world view of a deviant religious denomination or sect. Using observational data our research analyzes the conversion process by which individuals come to identify with the ideology propounded by Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.). A.A. provides prospective "alcoholics" with both a solution to drinking problems and an overarching world view with which to reinterpret their past experience. The A.A. conversion process can be divided into six phases: hitting bottom, first stepping, making a commitment, accepting your problem, telling your story, and doing Twelfth Step work. …

While this assessment is primarily concerned with the present socio-economic situation along the Levisa Fork and its tributaries, considerable effort has been given to projecting the future impact of continuing growth in coal production. It is assumed that the nation's need for energy will continue to stimulate the coal-based economy of the region for …

Property Tax Ellort In Eastern Kentucky Counties: Implications Lor Financing Public Services, Douglas Dotterweich Mar 1982

Property Tax Ellort In Eastern Kentucky Counties: Implications Lor Financing Public Services, Douglas Dotterweich

Faculty Research at Morehead State University

The eastern portion of Kentucky has long had insufficient tax revenues available to provide quality public services for local residents. Frequently, the response by legislators and others within the region has been to request additional resources from the state and federal levels of government for service provision. Particularly in present times of limited resources, the higher units of government would do well to ask the question: "Is this region truly poor, or are its residents simply unwilling to tax themselves at the same level as the rest of the state?" The purpose of this report is to provide a method …

The Effect Of Para-Chlorophenylalanine And Scopolamine On Passive Avoidance In Chicks, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman May 1981

The Effect Of Para-Chlorophenylalanine And Scopolamine On Passive Avoidance In Chicks, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman

Faculty Research at Morehead State University

Four-day-old Vantress x Arbor Acre chicks were tested for key-peck passive avoidance (PA) learning following intraperitoneal injections of parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA) and/or scopolamine. In Experiment 1, chicks were pre-treated with either three or five injections of PCPA (150 mg/kg) or saline across the first three posthatch days and then tested for PA learning on the fourth posthatch day. In Experiment 2, chicks were first pre-treated with three injections of PCPA (150 mg/kg) or saline, and then injected with either scopolamine (0.5 mg/kg) or saline 20 rain prior to PA testing on the fourth posthatch day. Major findings were: (a) Chicks pre-treated …


Atropine Disrupts Passive Avoidance Learning In Young Chicks T, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman Apr 1981

Atropine Disrupts Passive Avoidance Learning In Young Chicks T, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman

Faculty Research at Morehead State University

Four-day-old Vantress × Arbor Acre chicks were first trained to key-peck for heat reinforcement and then tested for passive avoidance learning following an intraperitoneal injection of atropine sulfate or saline. Chicks injected with 1.0 mg/kg of atropine responded more quickly than saline-injected chicks when their key-peck responses were punished with aversive wing-shocks. These findings, therefore, are consistent with the view that cholinergic mechanisms are involved in inhibitory behavior in the young domestic chick.
