Mother And Infant At Play: Reciprocity In Gazing Behavior, Goldie Alfasi-Siffert Jan 1979

Mother And Infant At Play: Reciprocity In Gazing Behavior, Goldie Alfasi-Siffert

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Twenty mothers and their 3-month-old male infants were studied in an attempt to isolate and describe some of the motivational components that contribute to infant gaze. Infants were videotaped in two conditions: playing with mother and playing with a female stranger. The videotapes were then analyzed on a second-by-second basis with respect to infant gaze and a variety of maternal/stranger behaviors. Results show that infants spend more time gazing at the stranger than at mother and that looks at the stranger are of much longer duration. In addition, high levels of infant gaze tend to be associated with facial and …

Money, The Dynamics Of Inflation And The Balance Of Payments In Latin America, 1947-1976, Anthony Cassese Jan 1979

Money, The Dynamics Of Inflation And The Balance Of Payments In Latin America, 1947-1976, Anthony Cassese

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

The main focus of this dissertation is to empirically test a number of assumptions of simple monetary models of the balance of payments using annual data on sixteen Latin American countries. The usual assumption of rapid price arbitrage is shown not to hold for most of these countries. Moreover, by using the technique developed by Granger, it is shown that the domestic rate of inflation is not an exogenous determinant of the respective official settlements balance of payments for most of these countries. Therefore, single equation models of the balance of payments which use the domestic rate of inflation as …

How Bad Can Good Data Really Be?, William (Bill) H. Williams

Bias has different sources. Measurement errors create "bad" data and biased estimates. But selection biases occur even with "good" data and can be both subtle and large in magnitude.

Modes Of Representation, The Epistemic Subject And Developmental Word Association Phenomena, Ellen M. Gerschitz Jan 1978

Modes Of Representation, The Epistemic Subject And Developmental Word Association Phenomena, Ellen M. Gerschitz

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This study was devised to investigate the developmental syntagmaticparadigmatic word association shift. In syntagmatic associations the stimulus and associative response are of different grammatical form classes and appear to be grammatically continuous, as response may follow stimulus in an utterance (e.g. cat-meows). These are the predominant responses of children before the ages of six to eight. Older children and adults shift to making paradigmatic associations in which stimulus and response are from the same form class and may be substituted for one another in an utterance (e.g. cat-dog). This shift was explained in terms of underlying symbolic mediational processes and …

Gender Role Of Male Pseudohermaphrodites In The Dominican Republic, Sara V. Mallea Jan 1977

Gender Role Of Male Pseudohermaphrodites In The Dominican Republic, Sara V. Mallea

Theses and Dissertations

This study introduces factors in the post-pubertal change of gender role in a group of male pseudohermaphrodites in the Dominican Republic. The individuals grow up as girls because of ambiguous genitalia at birth. Upon the onset of puberty, with development of scrotum and phallus, they generally select adult male models to emulate as their future role behavior. The essay describes the socio-cultural setting in which the children are raised and proposes a theory that differential socialization of boys and girls and adult access to resources are contributing elements in the decisions to switch gender roles. At the time of the …

Experience With Pregnancy, The Demand For Prenatal Care And The Production Of Surviving Infants, Eugene M. Lewit Jan 1977

Experience With Pregnancy, The Demand For Prenatal Care And The Production Of Surviving Infants, Eugene M. Lewit

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

The object of this research is to develop a model of household demand for prenatal care and attempt to measure the productive value of prenatal care per se on infant health as measured by survival. Traditionally, infant mortality rates have been used as indices of a nation's health status. Since the U.S. has lagged significantly behind other developed nations in reducing infant mortality since the mid-1950's, there have been charges of a malfunction in the U.S. health delivery system. Particularly in the area of infant health, critics have charged that more prenatal care Inputs are needed and that they should …

Linguistic Nature Of Prenasalization, Mark H. Feinstein Jan 1977

Linguistic Nature Of Prenasalization, Mark H. Feinstein

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

The linguistic nature of the class of sounds which are traditionally called "prenasalized consonants" (PNCs) has never been adequately explored. The purpose of this work is to provide a descriptively adequate framework in which to characterize PNCs, and to express their behavior most generally. This is done within the theory of generative phonology (essentially the Standard Theory of Chomsky and Halle 1968), incorporating a theory of markedness and syllabification. It is argued that PNCs cannot be described adequately as monosegmental entities in linguistic theory. Rather, PNCs in all languages are claimed to be sequences of homorganic nasal and oral consonant …


Aggregate Versus Subaggregate Models In Local Area Forecasting, D. M. Dunn, William (Bill) H. Williams, T. L. Dechaine Mar 1976

Aggregate Versus Subaggregate Models In Local Area Forecasting, D. M. Dunn, William (Bill) H. Williams, T. L. Dechaine

Publications and Research

Should statistical forecasts be constructed by aggregating data to each level for which forecasts are required or aggregating the forecasts from the lower levels? The relevant literature suggest no general answer. In this study using actual data, forecasts aggregated form lower-level forecasts were found best.
