Distraction And Dissonance: A Model Of The Persuasive Process, Davis Albert Foulger
Distraction And Dissonance: A Model Of The Persuasive Process, Davis Albert Foulger
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
After exploring the successes, failures, and conflicting explanations for results in two communications research traditions, distraction and counter-attitudinal advocacy, an attempt was made to explain these results in terms of a more comprehensive theory. Distractions were organized into classes defined by their strength and relevance to the message, demonstrating how these and other factors affected the persuasiveness of a message. On the basis of this theory an untested class of distractions, cognitive distractions, were hypothesized. This class of distraction, related to cognitive dissonance, was then used to integrate the conflicting research in counter-attitudinal advocacy. On the basis of this theory, …

Behavior Modification Of Depression: A Review Of Theories And Research, Maria Cristina Lema De Cardozo
Behavior Modification Of Depression: A Review Of Theories And Research, Maria Cristina Lema De Cardozo
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
There is a need to find effective ways to treat depression, due to its high incidence and to the severity of its consequences. The first psychological treatment of depression came with the advent of psychoanalysis, but today the theories dealing with the etiology and treatment of depression range from genetic and biological approaches to an existential conceptualization. While briefly reviewing these various current approaches, the primary purpose of this paper is to present the behavioral/social learning approach to the understanding and treatment of depression. The specific theoretical formulations, methods of assessment and treatment approaches characteristic of the behavioral/social learning approach …

Eye Color And Its Possible Relation To Behavior, Debra Lee Hollister
Eye Color And Its Possible Relation To Behavior, Debra Lee Hollister
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
A variable that is capable of indicating one's cognitive and motor capacities has been the dream of many researchers. Until recently however, no researcher has seriously considered an independent variable that is obvious among all people regardless of race or culture. This variable is eye color. This paper is a review of the experimental literature in this field and covers many areas including sociability, perception, learning, athletic abilities, and a few medical anomalies. Several alternative hypotheses are also offered as reasons for the obtained correlations. These ideas include culture, learning, and environment. Two other hypotheses are also presented to explain …
An Organizational Communication Analysis Of A Medium-Sized Newspaper, Sara Baldwin Howze
An Organizational Communication Analysis Of A Medium-Sized Newspaper, Sara Baldwin Howze
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
A medium-size newspaper in Central Florida was observed for 8 weeks in the Spring and Summer of 1976 and 58 employees interviewed to determine internal communication patterns and measure attitudes toward the communication system, organization and job related variables. A system theory of organizations provided basic theoretical assumptions. Since communication activities occur within the framework of internal organization elements such as structure, objectives, leadership style, reward system, technology, intergroup relations, and individual employee characteristics, those elements were described. Communication activities were reported in terms of message purpose, network traversed, method of diffusion and relationships. Findings indicated that the nature and …
Alcoholism In Women, Sandi Abilock Levine
Alcoholism In Women, Sandi Abilock Levine
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Alcoholism is a serious public health problem. There is strong evidence that the rate of alcoholism, especially among women is increasing. Until recently, there has been very little research on alcoholic women. The recent increase in the number of known female alcoholics may be related to the new liberation and freedoms women have gained. While the research literature does not support the notion of a typical female alcoholic personality type, certain recurrent characteristics have been noted. This paper attempts to document the problems which appear to be related to women who become alcoholics and to look at the variety of …
