An Investigation Of The Horizontal-Vertical Illusion, Frederick J. Boersma
An Investigation Of The Horizontal-Vertical Illusion, Frederick J. Boersma
Masters Theses
Experimenters have used the inverted "T" to illustrate the horizontal-vertical illusion for many years. This illusion is characterized by the subject perceiving the horizontal line as shorter than the vertical line.
Credit is usually given to Fick (1851) for being first to call attention to the discrepancy between horizontal and vertical estimates. He demonstrated this by visually noticing that a bright square on a dark background looks like an oblong object. Hicks (1906) stated that Oppel was the first person to actually investigate the horizontal-vertical illusion.
The classical theory generally states that an equal length vertical line in a "T" …

Beliefs And Attitudes Of Recent High School Graduates On The Subject Of Beverage Alcohol, Francis E. Chape
Beliefs And Attitudes Of Recent High School Graduates On The Subject Of Beverage Alcohol, Francis E. Chape
Masters Theses
Introduction
During recent years, many investigations concerning the teen-ager and beverage alcohol have been carried out. A survey of the available literature on this subject revealed that most of the studies have been made to determine the attitudes toward drinking and the drinking behavior of this age group. These studies, Maddox1 states, provide "The basis for generalizations about drinking in high school which are more substantial than impressionistic guesses."
Generalizations, however, have not been limited to drinking behavior alone. Alcohol education programs, required by law in every state in the union,2 have received much criticism in recent times. …

Water Resources Development -- An Analysis Of Economic Justification Practices Of The Corps Of Engineers, Kerwood W. Barrand
Water Resources Development -- An Analysis Of Economic Justification Practices Of The Corps Of Engineers, Kerwood W. Barrand
Masters Theses
"Presented herein is a brief analysis of the economic justification practices of the Corps of Engineers as commonly implemented in proposals concerning water resources projects. Where applicable, recommended methods are compared to similar methods advocated for, and accepted by, private engineering firms in similar situations.
The major problem exists in the lack of a profit motive in programs undertaken with the use of public funds. However, a profit can be said to have been realized in public works programs if the total benefits of the programs to all the people exceed the costs of these programs and, further, if the …

A Study Of The Latvian Exile-Immigrant Group In Kalamazoo, Henry George Halla
Masters Theses
Chapter I
Introduction
Statement of the Problem
The general purpose of this study is to determine whether such families in the Latvian population of Kalamazoo as insist upon considering themselves exiles and refuse to accept their immigrant status are less acculturated and assimilated than are such families that accept their immigrant status regardless of the fact that their original emigration from Latvia was a departure into exile. Also this study proposes to determine what social, cultural, economic and other variables are associated with each of the two types of families.

The Relationship Of Union Attitude To Work Performance, Donald Leo Wass
The Relationship Of Union Attitude To Work Performance, Donald Leo Wass
Masters Theses
Present-day management is aware of the high work-output characteristic of some “rugged individualists" who have "anti- union" sentiments. Studies concerning individuals classified as "ratebusters” have been made by Dalton (4) and by Roethlisberger and Dickson (5). The higher production efficiency of the “ratebuster" is discussed along with the increased personnel problems related to these workers. Because of anti-union sentiments, the “ratebuster” can have a disruptive effect on the labor force as a whole.
The worker with strong pro- union sentiments has received very little attention in the literature. It is probable that present-day management classifies this worker as an undesirable …
