Effects Of Casual Attributions Of Performance Outcome On Nature Of Self-Statements And Self-Esteem, Samuel Horace Wood
Effects Of Casual Attributions Of Performance Outcome On Nature Of Self-Statements And Self-Esteem, Samuel Horace Wood
Master's Theses
36 college students participated in a study to determine the role of causal attributions of success and failure on the modification of self-esteem. Although Brockner (1979) has suggested that the key to augmenting self-esteem is the increasing of positive self-evaluation that follows success, several studies suggest that it is not the positive self-evaluation after success but the negative self-evaluations after failure that are crucial in determining one's level of self-esteem. Thus it was hypothesized in the present study that if external attributions were made for failures while internal attributions for success were maintained, self-esteem would increase. Subjects high and low …

An Analysis Of The Stock Market As An Indicator Of Investor Reaction To Selected National And International Events, Benjamin F. Harmon
An Analysis Of The Stock Market As An Indicator Of Investor Reaction To Selected National And International Events, Benjamin F. Harmon
Master's Theses
The idea for this research originated with the work of Bruce M. Russett and Elizabeth Hanson in Interest and Ideology: The Foreign Policy Beliefs of American Businessmen. Their work in attempting to identify businessmen's reactions (and hence, beliefs) to events during the Indo-China War by movements in stock prices is, as far as I have been able to find, unique. After discussion with Dr. John Out-land, I undertook to determine if there is a consistent pattern in stock market fluctuations as a result of domestic and international affairs. Can the attitudes of American investors toward specific events be identified through …

Regulation Of Sodium Intake In The Mongolian Gerbil, Kevin Douglas Stark
Master's Theses
In the present study, two experiments were conducted to examine how the gerbil (Merinos Unguiculatus) responds to a chronic sodium deficiency. Adult male gerbils with a mean body weight of 79.81 grams, were maintained for a baseline period on a normal Purina Rat Chow and then they were placed on a salt-free diet. In addition they had ad lib access to a salt solution and water in a two bottle test situation. The saline concentration was cut in half and doubled to test for regulation.

The subjects were divided into three anxiety groups (high, medium and low) using Spielberger's State Trait Anxiety Inventory.
