Alienation in the Fiction of J. D. Salinger
Authors:   , Bornholdt Virginia
Published: February 2023

Although the concept of alienation is not new in American literature, it is a theme which has appeared with growing frequency and intensity in the past two decades. Among the many contemporary writers to deal with the problem of alienation, J.D. Salinger is particularly interesting because he deals with alienation in the young and because his most recent fictional characters find a means of reconciling themselves to the problem of alienation. To Salinger’s characters, ours is an abhorrent world in which to grow up: morality and humanitarianism are assumed to be hypocrisy; power and profit are the great Gods; moralists are associated with bigots and opportunists; and the money to be made serves no purpose unless one spends it on status display, conspicuous consumption, or diversions provided by a garish entertainment industry. In such a world, one lacking in inherent meaning and one in which communication and communion are impossible, Salinger’s alienated individuals suffer from various types and varying degrees of alienation. They also grapple with the problem in different ways and find, or fail to find, a satisfying solution to the problem. In treating the theme of alienation Salinger points up the failure of bridges that are meant to link the young and the old; arguments against both academic and social conformity of the period; and inability of individuals to communicate with one another; the substitutes for traditional values and beliefs; affection between siblings or peers as a partial substitute for missing child-parent relationships; and the mending power of a general, nonsexual love between human beings. Salinger’s characters meet the problem of alienation in various ways: the characters of his earlier fiction confront the human condition by committing suicide and suffering from mental breakdowns; other characters face the problem by withdrawing into a world of fantasy, immersing themselves in memory and alcohol or running away; later characters turn to mysticism and the teachings of Zen Buddhism with the most affirmative characters finding a solution through love. Consequently, one of the most significant implications of Salinger’s work is that perceptive people have difficulty in remaining operative or even surviving in our world. Since no man can survive in isolation, people must learn to expect less, to accept human frailties and imperfections; if they cannot love, they cannot live. The American community is the only community they have to love, and love is their only salvation.
Life Problems and Interests of Adolescents: A Replication of Percival M. Symonds' 1936 Study
Authors:   , Rheaume Patrick
Published: February 2023

Relatively little research has been done on the stability of expressed values of children and adolescents. The majority of the studies conducted on the subject suggest that there are many aspects of children and adolescents which remain stable with the passage of time, despite the many advances in today's society. In 1936, Symonds surveyed More than 1600 junior and senior high school students from Ridgewood, New York, and Tulsa, Oklahoma for their life problems and interests. His work was largely an effort to determine how well the schools' curriculums fit the needs of their students. Although his study did not attempt to measure change in adolescents, his data have since been used as a baseline for such a Measure in no less than four replication studies. The present investigator, in an attempt to control for the sampling inadequacies of the previous replications, surveyed 204 students from school s in Tulsa, Oklahoma, using Symonds' design. The investigator hypothesized that no changes would be found in the problems and interests of adolescents over the 43 year period spanning the original and present studies. Raw data was analyzed for means and standard errors. These were then compared to the original results, using independent groups t-tests. Results indicate a total of 23 significant changes in those issues of concern and interest to today's student, disconfirming both hypotheses. The causes and interpretations of these shifts are discussed, as are the possible implications for the focus of secondary education curriculums today. In addition, interesting patterns and differences between boys' and girls' rankings are discussed.
Incongruent Parenting Styles : Effects on the Personality of College Students
Authors:   , Myers Tracy
Published: February 2023

This study examined whether incongruent parenting styles in intact and divorced families led to increased adjustment difficulties. Participants were ninety-five female and forty-eight male students from the Fort Hays State University campus. Twenty of the participants left the gender question blank and thus their gender is unknown. Parenting style incongruency in intact and divorced families was not found to have an effect on the nine adjustment difficulties. Participants whose parents had joint custody did have higher levels of anxiety and depression than participants whose families were intact or who lived with mostly mother, mostly father, solely mother, and solely father. The results of this data showed mother’s warmth to be negatively associated with academic problems, interpersonal problems, suicidal ideation, and family problems, indicating that levels of problems decrease with higher levels of nurturing by the mother. Different combinations of parenting styles did have a significant effect on anxiety and family problems. Participants who reported their mother as being permissive-neglectful and their father as being authoritative scored significantly higher on the anxiety scale of the CAS than participants who reported their parents to have engaged in other combinations of parenting styles. Participants who reported their mother and father as having an authoritarian parenting style scored significantly higher on the family problems scale than participants who reported their parents to engage in other combinations of parenting styles.
Conflict Resolution in Adolescents
Authors:   , Cordell Shane
Published: February 2023

The purpose of the researcher was to investigate interpersonal conflict resolution in adolescents. The sample of 208 consisted of 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. Of the 208 students, 117 participated in conflict resolution classes and 91 served as a control group. For 8 weeks the 117 students (participants) participated in conflict resolution classes. The 91 students in the control group did not. The three independent variables were participation, gender, and grade placement. The dependent variables were Nonconfrontation, Control, Solution, and I-Message scores. One single-factor analysis of variance and 2 single-factor analysis of covariance were tested at the .05 level. A total of 12 comparisons were made. All 12 comparisons were for main effects. Of the 12 comparisons made 6 were statistically significant at the .05 level. The results of the present study appeared to support the following generalizations: (1) Conflict resolution classes for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders were effective, (2) Conflict resolution classes for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders were more effective for 6th graders than the 5th and 8th graders for the dependent variable confrontation, and (3) Conflict resolution classes for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders were more effective for females than males for the dependent variable control.
Conflict And Satisfaction In Romantic Relationships
Authors:   , Moland Meghan
Published: February 2023

Past research regarding the link between conflict resolution styles and marital satisfaction have been consistent; each partner's level of relationship satisfaction is positively related to the frequency with which both partners use constructive strategies to resolve conflict (such as agreement, compromise, and humor) and negatively related to the frequency with which each partner uses destructive strategies to resolve conflict (such as conflict engagement, withdrawal, and defensiveness) (Kurdek, 1995). The purpose of this research was to examine the links between conflict and satisfaction in romantic relationships that are one or more years in duration. Six self-report indices (the Relationship Assessment Scale - RAS, Conflict Resolution Styles Inventory - CRSI, Ineffective Arguing Inventory - IAI, Assessing Relationship Conflicts Questionnaire - ARCQ, Relationship Styles Questionnaire - RSQ, and Last Argument Questionnaire - LAQ) were administered to 235 participants. Several significant findings were obtained. Fifty six percent of the variance in relationship satisfaction was explained by all the conflict measures (CRSI, IAI, and RSQ). Females scored significantly higher than males on conflict engagement. For couples with more severe perpetual problems, Satisfaction was lower on the Relationship Assessment Scale. Married participants scored significantly higher than participants who were in a dating relationship on both conflict engagement and withdrawal. Post-graduates (those earning a Master's degree and above) scored significantly higher than those who either attended and/or graduated from college on relationship satisfaction and positive problem solving, and lower on ineffective arguing. Participants who reported a medium income level scored significantly higher on conflict withdrawal than those who reported they earned a low income.

Mathematics Anxiety: A More Complex Problem Than One Plus One
Authors:   , McGovern Jana
Published: February 2023

The purpose of the researcher was to investigate mathematics anxiety in 6th grade students. The five independent variables investigated were gender, race, socioeconomic status, English language proficiency, and mathematics achievement level. The dependent variable was the scores from the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale-Elementary. The sample consisted of 151 students in the 6th grade, with the exception of the last composite null hypothesis. Due to lack of English speaking proficiency, a number of students did not take CTBS achievement tests; therefore, sample size for comparisons involving mathematics achievement level was reduced to 104. A status survey factorial design was employed using a three-way analysis of variance (general linear model). Five composite null hypotheses were tested at the .05 level of significance. A total of 17 comparisons were made with 17 recurring. Of the 17 comparisons were for main effects and 12 for interactions. Of the 5 main effects 4 were statistically significant at the .05 level. Of the 12 interactions 3 were statistically significant at the .05 level. The results of the present study appeared to support the following generalizations: 1. students with low achievement in mathematics have more mathematics anxiety than those with average achievement and greater; 2. the race and socioeconomic level of students should be interpreted concurrently; 3. the race, socioeconomic level, and gender of students should be interpreted concurrently; 4. the race and English as a Second Language status should be interpreted concurrently; and 5. students have low mathematics anxiety.
Nursing Student Perceptions of Faculty Caring Behaviors
Authors:   , Scott Sondra
Published: February 2023

This descriptive, comparative study examined freshmen and sophomore student perceptions of faculty caring behaviors in an associate degree nursing program. The literature review reflected sparse research studies or student perceptions of caring. The purpose of this investigation was to examine perceptions of nursing students of the caring behaviors they experienced with faculty. Watson's theory of human caring (1985) formed the foundation for the investigation. Watson's theory combines a humanistic value system with a scientific knowledge base to implement the science of caring. Watson identifies seven assumptions of caring and ten carative factors as the conceptualization of her theory. Noddings' (1984) four components of a moral education fit well with Watson's theory in this investigation. The Organizational Climate for Caring Questionnaire developed by Hughes (1992) was used to measure the student perceived climate for caring experienced in student-faculty interactions. Scott’s Demographic Inquiry was used to collect information about the students enrolled in the nursing program. The data collected included age, gender, marital status, number of children and previous experience in the health care field. Data were collected from students enrolled in an associate degree nursing program at the community college level in a Midwestern state. Descriptive statistics were used to examine the scores for each group and a t-test was performed to determine whether or not there was statistical significance between the groups. The freshmen students (n = 25) scored slightly higher (M = 4.45. SD = .70) than the sophomores (n = 25) who scored (M = 4.38, SD = .61), t (48) = .734. The results of the investigation indicated some individual differences between freshmen and sophomore students on perceptions of caring behaviors; however, the results of a t-test revealed no significant difference in the perceptions of the groups. The recommendations that have evolved as a result of this investigation include: 1. Continued investigation with future classes. 2. Include other associate degree programs in future research. The larger sample would allow for investigation into the impact of culture and ethnicity on perceptions of caring. 3. Investigate the implications of marital status on perceptions of caring. 4. Investigate the impact students being a parent may have on perceptions of caring. 5. Investigate the differences between baccalaureate students and associate degree students to determine whether perceptions change significantly over a longer period of time. 6. Continue to use Watson's theory of human caring and Noddings' theory of a moral education as the foundation for future research. 7. Investigate the implications of students' gender on perceptions of caring.
The Measurement of Vocabulary of High School Students : A Study of The Reliability of Existing Tests
Authors:   , Kellogg George
Published: February 2023

In view of the number of vocabulary tests that have been made in recent years and the resulting widespread use of estimates based on them, the question of whether or not a reliable absolute estimate of a person ' s vocabulary can be made from existing tests is of paramount importance . Before attacking the problem, it was necessary to define \an individual's vocabulary.\ It was decided that in this study vocabulary would mean not merely the number of words a person could use, but the total number of words the meanings of which he could recognize. A \reliable estimate\ was taken to mean an estimate established within narrow limits and not subject to valid dispute.
Friedrich Wilhelm Koenig
Authors:   , King Paul
Published: February 2023

It was my first intention to write a biography of my grandfather. This was to be an entirely creative piece of work, based on his Army discharge, an account of his death and burial in the local paper, and the traditions of the family. Because his life after 1875-when he left the 5th Cavalry was so closely connected with the history of Hays, the biography was to stop short, twenty-three years before his death. Hays City from 1875 to 1898, the people, the colorful English colonists east in Victoria, the Russian-Germans, the change of troops at the fort, the fort itself-in fact the whole local frontier history during those years--was too involved and interesting to be presented with the earlier part of Wilhelm Koenig's life. It soon became evident that the story of Wilhelm Koenig would be lost in the background, and other, more colorful persons and events, would come to the fore. His story, the intended biography which was to be purely creative, became instead a thread on which to string a series of related events in frontier history. The towns like Abilene and Hays City grew up on the prairies not because of the railroads, but because the railroads were making it possible to reach markets quickly . And at those markets the products of the frontier towns , the long-horned beef cattle and the buffalo hides, brought more gold . The “harvesting “ of buffalo hides on the plains from 1865 to 1875 led Sitting Bull and the other chiefs and warriors of the Sioux to band together against the money-seeking white men who were destroying their only real means of livelihood, and the massacres and raids which followed brought Billy King back to Kansas.
Meeting the Needs of High Risk Children: The School Support Teacher Role
Authors:   , Hidalgo-Tablada Grizel
Published: February 2023

The purpose of the researcher was to investigate achievement and attendance of high risk students who were part of the School Support Teacher Program. The independent variables investigated were participation status, gender, and grade placement. The dependent variables were scores from the following scales of the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS): Vocabulary, Reading, Language, Art skills, Work Study skills, Mathematics, and Composite; and attendance for the year in the program. The sample consisted of 104 students with 53 in the experimental group and 51 in the control group. Six composite null hypothesis were tested at the .05 level employing a single-factor analysis of covariance. A total of 21 comparisons were made. Of the 21 comparisons made, 2 were statistically significant at the .05 level. The 2 statistically significant comparisons were for the dependent variables Reading and Mathematics. The results of the present study appears to support the following generalizations: 1. Females who participated in the SST program did better in Reading than males who participated in the program. 2. Eighth graders who participated in the program did better in Mathematics than sixth graders who participated in the program. 3. No association between participation in the SST program and achievement. 4. No association between participation in the SST program and attendance. 5. No association between the gender of those who participated in the program and attendance. 6. No association between grade level of those who participated in the SST program and attendance.
A Multidimensional Study of Relationships Between Personality Variables and Death Concern
Authors:   , Magers Diane
Published: February 2023

Using a multidimensional approach, this study investigated the relationships between personality variables and death concern. The study utilized Durlak and Kass's (1981) conceptualization of death concern in terms of five factors. These factors are (a) Negative Evaluation of Personal Death, (b) Reluctance to Interact with the Dying, (c) Negative Evaluation of Pain, (d) Reactions to Reminders of Death and (e) preoccupation with Thoughts of Dying, personality and death concern was studied by examining hypothesized relationships between these factors and personality variables. Examining the hypotheses entailed using a sample of 116 participants. The sample consisted of college students as well as heterogeneous subgroups of non-college adults (75 females, 41 males). These participants responded to a demographic data sheet, the l6PF (16 personality Factor Questionnaire) and a battery of four death concern measures. The latter measures were selected so as to provide indices of each of the five death concern factors. Of ten hypotheses about personality-death concern relationships, one was strongly supported, three received partial support, and six received no support. Results pertaining to four additional hypotheses about relationships between combinations of personality variables and death concern indicated that the personality variables predicted death concern better in combination than singly. Hypothesized findings concerning the first ten hypotheses were that (a) venturesomeness (as opposed to shyness) was related to decreased reluctance to interact with the dying; (b) lower emotional stability was associated with greater reaction to reminders of death and more preoccupation with thoughts of dying; and (c) more apprehensiveness and tension was related to greater reaction to reminders of death, to greater negative evaluation of death, and to more preoccupation with thoughts of dying. Overall the results provided only limited support for the hypotheses of the study. However, a substantial number of non-hypothesized findings suggested that the five Durlak and Kass death concern factors have potential for discerning personality-death concern relationships. This potential appears deserving of further research, initially in the form of attempts to replicate the findings of the present research.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sound intensity levels and frequency response measurements of selected unoccupied classrooms at Fort Hays State University to determine if class rooms met the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's recommendation of having unoccupied classroom noise levels of 35 dBA or less. Sound intensity level measurements were taken on both the A and C scale and frequency analysis measurements were taken of octave frequencies between 63Hz and 8000Hz. Measurements were recorded from five different points in 30 unoccupied classrooms and then averaged. The results revealed a mean intensity of 46.3 dBA (N=24) with a range of 40.5 to 54.9 dBA in classrooms with the HVAC system on. With the HVAC system off, the mean intensity was 40.7 dBA (N=26) with a range of 35.8 to 52.6 dBA. It may be concluded that more emphasis needs to be placed on the auditory environment of university classrooms to ensure a favorable educational setting that is conducive to learning.

The purpose of the researcher was to investigate burnout in college seniors. The independent variables were: gender, major, career maturity level, post college job status, grade point average, and semester of graduation. The dependent variable was scores from the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The sample consisted of 75 males and 53 females. Six null hypotheses were tested employing a three way analysis of variance (general linear model) at the .05 level. A total of 78 comparisons, 8 main effects and 10 interactions were statistically significant. The results of the present study appeared 10 support the following generalizations: I. students sampled had low burnout, 2. male students had greater burnout in Personal Accomplishment than females. 3. Students with low career maturity level had greater Emotional Exhaustion burnout than students with above average career maturity level. 4. the independent variables gender and major should be interpreted concurrently for Emotional Exhaustion. 5. the independent variables major and career maturity level should be interpreted concurrently for Personal accomplishment 6. the independent variables major and post college job status should be interpreted concurrently for Depersonalization 7. the independent variables career maturity, level and post college job status should be interpreted concurrently for Personal Accomplishment. 8. the independent variables major and grade point average should be interpreted concurrently for emotional Exhaustion. 9. the independent variables major and graduation date should be interpreted concurrently for Emotional Exhaustion 10. the independent variables post college job status and graduation date should be interpreted concurrently for Emotional Exhaustion. 11. the independent variables major and post college job status should be interpreted concurrently for Personal Accomplishment. 12. the independent variables major and graduation date should be interpreted concurrently for Personal Accomplishment, and 13. the independent variables post college job status and graduation date should be interpreted concurrently for Personal Accomplishment.
A Semantic Analysis of Over- and Underachievers
Authors:   , Stout Robert
Published: February 2023

An investigation was conducted to determine the relationship between contrasting levels of reading achievement and three psychodynamic factors, identification with parents, relationship with peers, and the value of reading and good grades. Selection of the Ss was made by statistical methods utilizing data obtained from school records. The device for testing the hypotheses was a form of the semantic differential administered to the Ss in their homes. The findings indicate no relationship between levels of reading achievement and parental identification, relationship with peers, or reading and good grades except in one instance in which overachieving males valued reading significantly different than underachieving males. Further research regarding identification, its nature, its measurement, and its relation to reading achievement is recommended.

Published: February 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contemporary Chinese young adults’ family communication patterns and conflict styles. The participants in this study were 278 Chinese college students (included 200 participants from 3 universities of mainland China and 78 participants from a university located in mid-west of US). The study found that Chinese family patterns are more conformity-oriented than conversational-oriented, and there is not a specific prevalent conflict style for Chinese young adults. The Chinese young adults studying in the US reported higher scores in control conflict style than Chinese young adults studying in mainland China.

The purpose of the researcher was to investigate the attitudes toward drinking and alcohol use of students in small high schools. The six independent variables investigated were grade level, gender, community, Perceived Peer Attitude Toward Alcohol, Perceived Parental Attitude Toward Alcohol, and Knowledge of Alcohol. The dependent variables were scores form the Alcohol use and Attitude Toward Drinking subscales of an alcohol questionnaire. Five composite null hypotheses sand one null hypothesis were tested at the .05 level of significance. The sample consisted of 139 students in grades 9-12. For the five composite nulls, a status survey factorial design was employed using a tree-way analysis of variance (general linear model), and the null hypothesis was tested employing a t-test for a correlation coefficient. A total of 41 comparisons were made, plus 30 recurring. Of the 41 comparisons 13 were for main effects and 28 for interactions. Of the 13 main effects 5 were statistically significant at the .05 level. Of the 28 interactions 2 were statistically significant at the .05 level. The results of the present study appeared to support the following generalizations: 1. Perceive Peer Attitude Toward Alcohol is associated with Alcohol Use, 2. Grade placement is not associated with Attitude Toward Drinking. 3. Grade placement is not associated with Alcohol Use. 4. Gender is not associated with Attitude Toward Drinking, 5. Community is not associated with Attitude Toward Drinking. 6. Community is not associated with Alcohol Use, 7. Significant interactions for gender, Perceived Peer Attitude Toward Alcohol Use: and Knowledge of Alcohol, Perceived Parental Attitude Toward Alcohol and Attitude Toward Drinking, and 8. Attitude Toward Drinking is associate to Alcohol Use.
Non-Geographic and Interspecific Variation in Four Species of Hylomyscus (Rodentia: Muridae) in Southern Cameroon
Authors:   , Robbins Lynn
Published: February 2023

Four sympatric species of Hylomyscus (H. aeta, H. alIeni, H. parvus, and H. stella) were examined morphometrically and karyotypically. Age variation was assessed in all species. Sexual dimorphism was found to be a major source of variation in only one species, H. aeta. Karyotypes are illustrated for the first time for three species. H. aeta, H. alIeni, and H. parvus. Taxonomic problems within the genus, differences among the species, diagnostic characters, and the relationships of these species to other African Hylomyscus are discussed.
A relationship of idea and technique
Authors:   , Gibson Floyd
Published: February 2023

For myself, as a beginning printmaker, It has been Important to establish a workable concept of the role of technique and Idea as they relate to my own work. The thesis work presented here Is based on the concept that It Is Idea which leads the way with technique rising to the Idea. The contention here is that as the artist develops keener Insight and perception In terms of idea, his technical skills will grow to the point of allowing him to express his Ideas. This Is In opposition to the concept of developing many and varying technical skills and then seeking out Ideas which conform to them. There Is, of course, no strict separation of technique and Idea since one cannot exist without the other. The symbiotic relationship between these two aspects of creativity broadens the artist's possibilities for expression. However, the experiences encountered In my own work have led to the belief that It Is the Idea which Is to be expressed that must receive the first consideration. For this work, My approach has been to use a variety of Ideas, allowing the technique to provide a common bond between . Each piece has begun with a general Idea or theme which has been al lowed to crystallize as the work developed. For myself It seems to be more comfortable to work from the general to the specific rather than to Impose strict I Imitations early In the piece. In terms of technique, the basic structure of the prints was established with the use of etched line with the values added by whatever means seemed most desirable. In support of this contention, the work presented here reflects what feel Is a growth in Ideas and an Increasing awareness of those themes and Ideas my own nature dictates as being significant enough to express.
Compatibility of Self-Actualization and Anxiety in Positive Disintegration
Authors:   , Dodez Orin
Published: February 2023

Dabrowski’s theory of positive disintegration relates that anxiety appears to be the dynamic of self-actualization. A study to assess this hypothesis (Wilkins, Hjelle, & Thompson, 1977) indicated that self-actualization was incompatible with chronic, debilitating or neurotic anxiety. However, the test purported to measure or assess self-actualization (the Personal Orientation Inventory) is biased against Dabrowski’s premise because the POI’s theoretical constructs and test construction are based upon the philosophy that anxiety is a hindrance to self-actualization. The findings of this study support the position that self-actualization and anxiety are compatible at both low and high self-actualized levels with self-actualization positively contributing to anxiety at the high self-actualized level. Severely anxious individuals are not necessarily self-actualized but anxiety does not, apparently, inhibit self-actualization growth. Self-actualization appears to precipitate anxiety as a means of growth. However, anxiety does not necessarily precipitate self-actualization. Thus Dabrowski’s theory of positive disintegration remains viable.

Subliminal Messages: Do They Really Affect People's Behaviors and Motivational States?
Authors:   , Stapp Trevor
Published: February 2023

In previous studies regarding subliminal messages, there have been a number of different outcomes from each study. Some studies show that certain subliminal messages have affected people's behavior or motivational state whereas other studies have shown that subliminal messages have not affected people's behavior or motivational state. Cooper and Cooper (2002) conducted a study where they inserted subliminal messages in a television program to see if those messages could affect motivational states (e.g. thirst). The images shown were a coke bottle and the word “thirsty.” Their results showed that the group exposed to the subliminal messages reported a higher thirst rating than the control group. In the present study, a similar approach to that of Cooper and Cooper (2002) was taken. Eighty-five participants were shown an episode of the television program Southpark with subliminal messages inserted throughout to see if motivational states could be affected. In this case thirst was the motivational state that was examined closely. The images used throughout the television program were different than Cooper and Cooper's (2002) study; the images were a picture of a coke bottle and a picture of a person who looked thirsty. A word used as a subliminal message, like \thirsty,” was not used. That was the difference between the two studies. The results did not support Hypothesis 1 and showed that the subliminal group did not change its thirst ratings after exposure to the subliminal messages. The results did however, support Hypothesis 2 that subliminal messages affect motivational states. It was found that subliminal messages appear to work best if the subliminal message being sent is a word instead of an image.
