A Developmental Study Of Target Attribution, Dotti Cohen

Student Work

The purpose of this study was to determine the existence of target attribution, and its interaction with other variables. Subjects were obtained from grades one, seven, and college freshmen; thirty of each age group were used. The subjects consisted of an equal number of males and females, who scored as internal or external on a locus of control measure. Each individual was asked to assume the role of actor in each of four videotapes, and to rate the degree of responsibility they felt for the action on each scene. The subjects were also asked to rate the actor and the …

Cardiac Changes During An Attention-Demanding Task In Mentally Retarded Adults, James M. Granfield

Student Work

The relationship between physiological response patterns and intellectual deficiencies was investigated by examining heart rate changes during a sustained attention-demanding task with institutionalized mentally retarded adults classified into three different I.Q. levels. The task consisted of simple motor responses made to a visual display within which was "hidden" the stimulus cue of Santa Claus. The findings indicated that changes in the within-trial heart rate response were significantly different between groups. Consistent with previous research on retarded adolescents, the retarded adults in the present study were characterized by a significant increase in heart rate variability upon stimulus onset. However, the high …

The Effects Of Extrinsic Rewards On Intrinsic Motivation: Reinforcement Theory Or Cognitive Evaluation Theory, Jack S. Leon

Student Work

Intrinsically motivated behaviors are those for which there is no apparent reward except the activity itself. Such rewards are mediated within the individual. Rather than bringing about external rewards, intrinsically motivated behaviors bring about internal states that the individual finds rewarding (Deci, 1975a).

This issue of Review of Applied Urban Research features "Interstate Freeways Attract New Office Sites," by Murray Frost and Armin K. Ludwig.

Completion of the interstate highway network in American metropolitan areas has opened a wide variety of locational options for urban land uses. New office sites have been salient among these developments. The purpose of this study is to compare Interstate radial freeway corridors with other spatial units in Omaha and six other metropolitan areas to determine their differential attraction for new office sites in the period 1970-1976. The seven metropolitan areas studied were Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Louisville, Minneapolis-St. …

Builders And Lenders Attitudes: The Nebraska Mortgage Finance Fund Use Of Fha 235 Housing, Jack Ruff, Peggy Hein

Publications

This report was originated by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development in an effort to gather information from builders and lenders concerning their perceptions of the appropriate functions of the Nebraska Mortgage Finance Fund. In gathering the information for the report, considerable time was given by the builders and lenders in order to share their thoughts, ideas, and concerns about the Nebraska Mortgage Finance Fund, and their use of the 235 program. Although some of the ideas were in conflict, those who read this report will find some common threads on which to build a program. Different interests have different …

This issue of Review of Applied Urban Research features "Households Moving to City Triple Those Leaving: In-Migration and Net Migration to the City of Omaha, August, 1977 - July, 1978," by Armin K. Ludwig.

The purpose of this study is twofold; 1) to determine the counties in the United States from which households moved to the city of Omaha for the period August, 1977 through July, 1978; and 2) to establish the net household migration between Omaha and these counties for the same period. The net migration figure was developed for a given county by subtracting the number of households …

Effects Of Task Size And Group Size On Observers' Job Enrichment Perceptions, Yau-De Wang

Student Work

Stemming from different theoretical disciplines, investigators of undermanned behavior settings and job enrichment have focused on examining human performance and motivation by manipulating essential tasks and available personnel. Although these two disciplines have centered their concerns on different types of organizations, research results from undermanning and job enrichment studies have tended to coincide with each other. However, an important question common to both areas concerns the reasons why the manipulation of the number of tasks and the number of personnel in a work setting should change group members' performance and motivation. Greenberg (1979) has recently offered an explanation which may …

This issue of Review of Applied Urban Research features "Mid-continent Net Migration Losses Decline: Centers of Net Migration Gains in the Great Plains, 1970-1976," by Armin K. Ludwig.

As a unit the American region known as the Great Plains suffered net migration losses in each of the five census periods prior to 1970. During the following six years, however, these losses had begun to abate.¹ This study examines the 1970-1976 net migration changes in a bloc of 320 nonmetropolitan, nonmetropolitan- fringe counties roughly coincident with the Great Plains and seeks to account for the higher net migration gains recorded …
