Interpersonal Behavior And Depression: An Examination Of Self-Descriptions On The Interpersonal Check List, Douglas Steven Andrews Jul 1980

Interpersonal Behavior And Depression: An Examination Of Self-Descriptions On The Interpersonal Check List, Douglas Steven Andrews

Dissertations and Theses

Depressive disorders are recognized as being of long standing clinical and theoretical concern. Early psychoanalytic conceptualizations of depression were later reformulated into theories emphasizing interpersonal manifestations of depression, notably passive-dependent oral trends. Recent research efforts have explored specific interpersonal behaviors and their relationship to depression. Although some studies have been done utilizing self-report data of interpersonal behavior, little has been done utilizing self-descriptions of interpersonal traits drawn from a sample of clinically depressed psychiatric outpatients.


Individual Differences In Imaginal And Verbal Information Processing Abilities, Joan Marie Anderson Jul 1980

Individual Differences In Imaginal And Verbal Information Processing Abilities, Joan Marie Anderson

Dissertations and Theses

The present research is based on the theory that there are two major modes of consciousness, verbal and imaginal, which are controlled by the left and right hemispheres, respectively. This project was concerned with the relationship between these modes of consciousness and the measures employed in this study. The measures employed were an ongoing mentation report (OMR), a paired-associate learning (PAL) task, the Betts vividness of imagery questionnaire, the Gordon test of imagery control, and the visual imagery scale of Imaginal Processes Inventory (IPI). EEG and EOG measures were recorded during the OMR, and lateral eye movement was taken as …


A Comparison Of Three Measures Of Waking Fantasy, Carey Sue Edney Jul 1980

A Comparison Of Three Measures Of Waking Fantasy, Carey Sue Edney

Dissertations and Theses

This project compared three techniques of assessing waking fantasy, or daydreaming. The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), the Imaginal Processes Inventory (IPI), and time-sampled ongoing mentation reports (OMR) were the three measures employed. Seven qualities were compared, as measured by the three methods, using a multitrait-multimethod correlation matrix. Neither extensive convergent nor extensive discriminant validity was demonstrated among the three measures. This suggests that one should use caution in comparing research findings which utilize different measures of waking fantasy.

Comparison Of Two Receptive Language Tests (Ppvt And Tacl) Used With The Developmentally Delayed, Paul H. Lamb

Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this investigation was to compare the results as recorded in mental ages of the PPVT and TACL when used with developmentally delayed children. One aspect was to observe how well the mean mental age from each test would compare with the mean mental age obtained from psychometric testing (WISC-R or SB-LM results). Another aspect was to determine how well the data from the PPVT and from the TACL would correlate with the psychometric testing results.

Art Therapy As A Mechanism For Increasing Life Satisfaction In Later Life, Phyllis Laulainen Mcgraw

To test this hypothesis, 30 subjects between the ages of 61 and 83 were assigned to three experimental conditions: Art Therapy Group, Discussion Group, and Control Group.

Comparisons Of Videotape Observation To Direct Observation, John W. Hanlan

Dissertations and Theses

This research examined the validity of videotaped analyses of clinical sessions in comparison to direct (live) observations. The subjects were eleven student clinicians and their respective clients, enrolled Fall Term, 1979, in Portland State University's Speech and Hearing Sciences Articulation and Language and Urban Language Clinics. The Boone-Prescott Interactional Analysis System, a numerically coded system, was used to record clinician/client interactions. Data were obtained for a randomly selected five-minute period from each of thirty clinical sessions.

Closed Systems Also Show Equifinality, Martin Zwick Jan 1980

Closed Systems Also Show Equifinality, Martin Zwick

Complex Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

The purpose of this note is to address a possible source of confusion in the description, which appears often in the systems literature, of "closed" systems, which seems to derive from the early work of von Bertalanffy (1940, 1950, 1968). Specifically, it is commonly stated (e.g., Rapoport, 1968*; Katz and Kahn, 1974; Kast and Rosenzweig, 1976; Kramer and de Smit, 1977) that "open" systems exhibit the property of equifinality, wherein a particular final state of the system may be reached via different routes from different initial states, in contrast to "closed" systems, where different initial states always result in correspondingly …
