Construction And Validation Of Six Mental Health Sub-Scales By Age, Sex, And Educational Status, Thomas James Boynton
Construction And Validation Of Six Mental Health Sub-Scales By Age, Sex, And Educational Status, Thomas James Boynton
Masters Theses
Chapter I
Introduction
Purpose of the Study
The topic considered in this thesis is the construction and validation of six mental health sub-scales which are based upon procedures controlling for age, sex, and educational status. Each item in a 22 item mental health scale is tested for validity by age, sex, and educational status. Six sub-scales, one for each dichotomy of the three social groups, are constructed from this procedure. The validity of these sub-scales is then tested via six different criteria of mental health. Finally, the validity of the six sub-scales, the original 22 item scale, and a related …

Group Cohesiveness And Group Productivity, Michael M. Makedonsky

Group Cohesiveness and Group Productivity
Cartwright and Zander (1953) distinguished at least three different meanings in their intuitive and operational descriptions of group cohesiveness: (a) attraction to the group, (b) morale, and (c) coordination of efforts of group members. Others have attempted to classify meanings of cohesiveness into two general categories. One category of definitions centers chiefly on particular aspects of group behavior or group process. Here, the meaning of cohesiveness refers to "sticking togetherness," productivity, task involvement and good team work. A common observation is that members of a cohesive group display a feeling of "we-ness" or "togetherness," meaning …

An Investigation Of Employee Attitudes And Employee Performance, Richard V. Washburn
An Investigation Of Employee Attitudes And Employee Performance, Richard V. Washburn
Masters Theses
Industrial managers are showing an increasing interest in employee attitudes, opinions and morale. This conclusion is reflected in the fact that many companies conduct attitude and opinion surveys, train their supervisors in human relations and provide other functions designed to create favorable attitudes.
Management concern for the promotion of favorable employee attitudes may be attributed to two main factors. Part of the concern may be attributed to a general trend toward greater social responsibilities of industry. The other, and perhaps greater part can be attributed to an assumption that employees with favorable attitudes are more productive than those with generally …
An Investigation Of The Visual Processes Involved In The Vertical-Horizontal Illusion, Robert L. Vette
An Investigation Of The Visual Processes Involved In The Vertical-Horizontal Illusion, Robert L. Vette
Masters Theses
The vertical-horizontal illusion has been the object of experimental study for many years. The first man to investigate the vertical-horizontal illusion was probably Oppel in 1854. Since the time of Oppel's first experiment, many theories have been advanced in an attempt to explain what causes this illusion to occur in our perception of connected vertical-horizontal lines. The primary theory that is most widely accepted states that the vertical line in the "T" illusion will be judged longer because of the vertical-horizontal relationship.
Pan (1934) suggested that the "T" figure illusion was not due entirely to the interaction of the vertical …

Federal – Local Relations: A Case Study Of The City Of Kalamazoo In 1962, Glen L. Bachelder
Masters Theses
Purpose and Scope
It is the purpose of this paper to study the impact of federal government aid on Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1962. As a setting for the case study information, the development of federal aid programs as they affect municipal governments in the United States will be explored. The case study approach was selected since the bulk of material now available on the subject deals with the programs as viewed from the National Government level or as applied to the fifty states. Thus the idea of a detailed look at just one city as a recipient of federal aid …

The Radical Right And Its Influence Upon American Foreign Policy, David Stringer Roberts
The Radical Right And Its Influence Upon American Foreign Policy, David Stringer Roberts
Masters Theses
Introduction
This thesis is an exposition into the American radical right. It is the author's contention that expository writing has a role to play in thesis-writing, especially dealing with broad political problems such as the radical right movement.
The major "thesis" of this paper is that the radical right has an inordinate influence on the formulation of American foreign policy, out of all proportion to its actual numbers. All efforts will be made to prove this proposition.

Absent Fathers And Problem Behavior, A Comparison Of Children From Broken And Unbroken Homes, Earl Walter Morris
Masters Theses
Introduction
This study is an attempt to explore several aspects of the influence of the family upon the occurrence of problem behavior among children.1 Essentially it deals with a comparison of the occurrence of problem behavior among two groups of children: (1) children in the homes where the father is absent because of death, divorce, separation or desertion; and (2) children in homes where both parents are present.
In the past the "broken home" has received a great deal of attention is delinquency research. The physical presence of absence of a parent has not been found to be highly …

The Congressional Phase Of The Military Budget, 1961: A Study In Civil Military Relations, Leland E. Hall
Masters Theses
Introduction
Civilian control of the military in the United States is widely conceived to be Congressional control. The ultimate goal of Congressional procedures is believed to be the "effective Congressional--and civilian--control of the military establishment."1 It is questionable, however, if the United States Constitution intends Congress to be the instrument that exercises civilian control of the military.

Comparison Of Alcohol Offenses Of College Students With Those Of Persons In A Similar Age Group Who Have Not Had College Experience, Cornelis Laban
Masters Theses
Introduction
The purpose of the study was to·make· a comparison of the drunk driving behavior of college students with that· of those persons in a similar age group who have not had college experience. There is very little published information about the statutes governing "driving under the influence of liquor" (D.U.I.L.). The educable nature of persons involved in such offenses 8 and the probable anti-social and sociopathic behavior in individuals leading up to the offenses, also need thorough investigation. Very pertinent also is the question whether or not there is a biological basis for this particular behavior; an understanding of …

A Study Of Figural After-Effects In The Inverted-“T”-Illusion, Wayne H. Bartz
A Study Of Figural After-Effects In The Inverted-“T”-Illusion, Wayne H. Bartz
Masters Theses
Introduction
The term figural after-effect refers to the spatial displacement of a visual figure induced by the inspection of a prior figure. In the figural after-effect paradigm, an observer fixates on a figure called the inspection figure for some time. Fixation is then shifted to a test figure. Any spatial displacement in the test (second) figure is termed the figural after-effect. Generally, maximal figural after-effects are attained with 60 second inspection followed immediately by short test figure exposure (Hammer, 1949; Graham, 1951; Krauskopf, 1954; Parducci and Brookshire, 1956; Sagara and Oyama, 1957; and Kohler and Wallach, 1944). This study is …

Constant X Of The Alcoholic Personality, Jean Carpenter
Masters Theses
Chapter I
Introduction
The problem of alcoholism is one of the oldest problems in the history of mankind. Today it ranks world-wide as a major public health problem. Yet, constructive study and research on the subject did not gain much momentum until about 1935.
With the organization of Alcoholism Anonymous in 1935, the awareness of the problem spread, fanwise, throughout the fields of religion, medicine, and psychiatry. Alcohol had once presented a baffling and seemingly unanswerable enigma. But now there was a glimmering of hope in each of these separate fields that the answers might lie within its own particular …
