The Relationship Of Liberalism-Conservatism To Anxiety And Ego Strength, Orpha Sherman Harris

Master's Theses

Through the medium or television our senses are everyday bombarded by the sights and sounds of student unrest on our college campuses. Radical students take over campus buildings, go on strike and refuse to attend classes until their "demands" are met. They want a "piece of the action" even to the hiring and firing of professors, and will risk expulsion to attain their goals. Even conservative students demand that curricula and instruction be upgraded though their methods for achieving their goals are less disruptive or dramatic. Liberal youth today are demanding the right to smoke marijuana,to "trip" on LSD, to …

The Effects Of Mid-Task Motivation On Risk-Taking, Speed, And Persistence, Joel S. Stephenson

Student Work

Theoretical advances in science are often precipitated by some methodological development that permits a new approach to the guest for knowledge. Such was the case with the study of human motivation in psychology. This thesis represents, in part, a review of the work in achievement motivation that followed the development of the thematic apperceptive measure of achievement motivation by McClelland, et. al. in 1953. In addition, it is hoped that this study will make a significant contribution to the large body of knowledge spawned in the field of achievement motivation.
