Sex And Curriculum Differences In Conceptions Of The Teacher Role: A Role Theoretical Analysis, Steven Michael Koning Dec 1975

Sex And Curriculum Differences In Conceptions Of The Teacher Role: A Role Theoretical Analysis, Steven Michael Koning

Masters Theses

This study is concerned with factors which influence the way individuals conceptualize and define their social roles. Role theory suggests that role conceptions, which are individual orientations to a role, are affected by expectations associated with the role and personality characteristics that an individual brings to the role. These suggestions are tested by examining sex and curriculum differences in conceptions of the teacher role among education students at a midwestern university. Conceptions of teacher control and nurturance are assessed by two scales developed by the author. Results indicate that factors associated with a student's curriculum influence orientations toward teacher control …

A Method Of The Determination Of Sex From Artificially Deformed American Indian Crania, Sharon A. Bolt Dec 1975

A Method Of The Determination Of Sex From Artificially Deformed American Indian Crania, Sharon A. Bolt

Masters Theses

Birkby (1966) cautions against the use of discriminant functions based on American Whites and Negroes to determine the sex of American Indian skeletal material. Two problems become apparent in the application of these methods to American Indian crania; (1) the existence of population differences in craniometric means and ranges of variation between American Indians and American Whites and Negroes; (2) the influence of artificial cranial deformation characteristic of many series of American Indian skeletal material. This study develops a multivariate discriminant function for the determination of sex in Arikara Indian crania and demonstrates its applicability to artificially deformed crania from …

The Role Of Ferry Crossings In The Development Of The Transportation Network In East Tennessee, 1790-1974, Tyrel Gilce Moore Jr. Dec 1975

The Role Of Ferry Crossings In The Development Of The Transportation Network In East Tennessee, 1790-1974, Tyrel Gilce Moore Jr.

Masters Theses

This thesis examines the role of ferry crossings in the development of East Tennessee's transportation network. Because of the number of streams in the area, ferries were widely used and this study traces their changing location and influence from the 1790's to 1974.

The study revealed that ferry crossings were among the area's earliest internal improvements and that they were the principal method of stream crossing on regularly traveled routes from the 1790's to the late 1920's. In addition to serving as a relatively reliable means of stream crossing, ferry sites took on a variety of functions during this period. …


A Demographic Analysis Of Skeletons From The Larson Site (39ww2), Walworth County, South Dakota, Douglas William Owsley Dec 1975

A Demographic Analysis Of Skeletons From The Larson Site (39ww2), Walworth County, South Dakota, Douglas William Owsley

Masters Theses

Paleodemographic analysis of 706 skeletons recovered from the Larson site (39WW2), Walworth County, South Dakota, is presented. The site was a protohistoric Arikara village and cemetery dating to approximately A. O. 1750-1781. Major objectives of this study were to reconstruct vital statistics of the Larson population and to determine population size of the village which contributed to the cemetery.

Analysis was accomplished using a life table methodology assuming a stationary population model. Vital statistics examined include data on mortality, survivorship, age-specific probability of death, life expectancy, and crude mortality rates. Interpopulation comparisons were made with other American Indian and world …


Sources Of Political Instability And Stability In Iran, 1779-1973, Ahmad Pishva Dec 1975

Sources Of Political Instability And Stability In Iran, 1779-1973, Ahmad Pishva

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to define and examine the main sources of political instability and stability which existed in Iran between 1779 and 1973. The magnitude of the political, social, and economic changes in Iran during this period fostered an atmosphere in which the elements of both instability and stability prevailed.

The study dealt with four distinct political periods. The first period examined was that of the Qajar Dynasty (1779-1925). The second period dealt with was the modernization of Iran under Reza Shah (1926-1941). The third period discussed was the early segment of the reign of Mohammad Reza …


A Synthesis And Interpretation Of The Hamilton Mortuary Pattern In East Tennessee, Patricia Ellen Cole Dec 1975

A Synthesis And Interpretation Of The Hamilton Mortuary Pattern In East Tennessee, Patricia Ellen Cole

Masters Theses

The goals of this investigation are to investigate status and rank and to suggest a possible model of the social organization of the builders of Late Woodland burial mounds on the basis of intrasite burial patterning, to determine the pattern of relationships among a sample of East Tennessee burial mounds, and to provide a general characterization of the Hamilton burial complex. Despite previous investigations of this burial complex, earlier works have failed to provide satisfactory treatment of these problems.

Data on individual burials from site 40RE124 were analyzed using tests of significance, a crosstabulatinn. of variable correlations, and a factor …
