A Controlled Evaluation Of Devotional Meditation And Progressive Muscle Relaxation, Charles R. Carlson, Panayiota E. Bacaseta, Dexter A. Simanton
CRVAW Faculty Journal Articles
The present study was conducted to determine the effects of devotional meditation (DM), defined as a period of prayer and quiet reading and pondering of biblical material, on physiological and psychological variables related to stress. It was hypothesized that religious persons engaging in DM experience physiological and psychological changes similar to those reported for persons using progressive relaxation (PR) exercises. Thirty-six participants, equally divided by sex into 3 groups: DM, PR, and a Wait List Control, underwent extensive psychophysiological assessment prior to and following a systematic introductio to either DM or PR. The hypothesis that DM could generate positive physiological …
Perceived And Imagined Tempos Of Familiar Songs, Andrea Halpern
Perceived And Imagined Tempos Of Familiar Songs, Andrea Halpern
Faculty Journal Articles
Two studies investigated the similarity of metronome settings to perceived and imagined familiar songs by subjects unselected for musical ability. In Study 1, mean tempo settings in the two tasks were about 100 beats per minute. Songs with slower perceived tempos tended to be faster in the imagery task and vice versa. In Study 2, subjects set fastest and slowest acceptable tempos for the same set of songs in the imagery mode. These settings were positively correlated with the preferred tempo for the song. Most subjects thought that there were limits on how fast or slow a song could be …
The Impact Of Evaluation Feedback On Affective And Behavioural Reactions, Kathleen Joy Kitching
The Impact Of Evaluation Feedback On Affective And Behavioural Reactions, Kathleen Joy Kitching
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
A study was conducted to examine the impact of outcome (success or failure) and attribution information cues (none, internal, external) on affective and behavioural reactions to performance feedback. Following the theorizing of Weiner, Russell, and Lerman (1978, 1979) and Liden and Mitchell (1985), it was predicted that the outcome manipulation would determine a global affective reaction and that the attribution information cues manipulation would polarize these reactions. Sixty university undergraduate students were randomly assigned to success of failure on a practice and final creativity test and were induced to attribute their performance to internal or external causes depending on attribution …
Towards The Development Of A Resource Center For Individuals With Anorexia Nervosa And/Or Bulimia A Needs/Resource Assessment, Professional Networking, And Program Planning Process, Tammy Lee Morrell
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
An assessment of service needs and resource availability for clients with the eating disorders anorexia nervosa and bulimia was conducted in the Waterloo region, located in southwestern Ontario, in order to ascertain the number of individuals in the region who currently suffer from the disorders but for various reasons have not sought treatment. In addition, the assessment examined the availability of specialized services for this client population, the sufficiency of extant services in relation to estimated service needs, and the degree of inter-agency networking in treating eating disorders. A variety of needs/resource assessment techniques were utilized including the social indicators …
The Relative Contributions Of State And Trait Empathy In The Motivation Of Helping Behaviour, David Scott Melford Pawson
The Relative Contributions Of State And Trait Empathy In The Motivation Of Helping Behaviour, David Scott Melford Pawson
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This research examined the relative contributions of situational (state) and dispositional (trait) empathy in the motivation of helping behaviour. Forty W.L.U. undergraduates who volunteered from an original sample of 193 participated in a study in which state and trait empathy were crossed in a 2 X 2 between-subjects design. State empathy was manipulated by perspective taking instructions and trait empathy via a median split of the participants’ Questionnaire Measure of Emotional Empathy scores (filled out previously). Under the guise of an emotional reaction study they were asked to help another student by promising to participate in further research. Both this …

Norm-Of-Reaction: Definition And Misinterpretation Of Animal Research, Steve A. Platt, Charles A. Sanislow
Norm-Of-Reaction: Definition And Misinterpretation Of Animal Research, Steve A. Platt, Charles A. Sanislow
Charles A. Sanislow, Ph.D.
The development of a phenotype is due to an interaction of the genotype with the environment. Two terms have been used to describe the outcome of this interaction, the norm-of-reaction and the reaction range. The first represents the theoretically limitless distribution of the phenotypes that may be expressed by a given genotype. The reaction range implies an upper and lower limit for phenotype expression possible from a given genotype. A critical distinction between the reaction range and the norm-of-reaction is that the norm-of-reaction is a statement of the conceivable interactions found but does not imply any predictability other than that …
