The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness
of two religious education curricula in facilitating measure-able
concrete-to-abstract movement in children's religious
thinking. Subjects for the study were 47 fifth and sixth
grade children enrolled in the Sunday School classes of four
Oregon United Methodist Churches. Twenty-four children who...
Five lines of turkeys with wide variation in body size, reciprocal
crosses between large and small lines, and backcrosses to the
large parent line were studied to determine the effect of body size
and crossbreeding on growth rate, conformation, feed consumption,
organ size, and other physiological traits.
Selection was made...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between
creativity and independent or autonomous behavior among preschoolaged
children.
Forty children, 19 boys and 21 girls, with a mean age of 4 years-
1 month, and a mean I.Q. of 113, acted as subjects for this study. All
children...
Because of the high cost of fuel for nuclear reactors, fuel cycle
costs must be predicted accurately.
This leads to the high cost computer computations and a search for cheaper yet still accurate
methods. For this paper we have chosen to study an alternate
method for calculating thermal neutron cell...
A conceptual model of the tidal flat system, emphasizing the
sulfur cycle was presented. Measurements were made of the vertical
distribution within tidal flat deposits of total aerobic and sulfate
reducing bacteria, total sulfides, redox potential, volatile solids,
and particle size. Variations in dissolved oxygen and free sulfides
in the...
This study, based on Brunswik's (1952, 1956) lens model,
examined the judgment policies employed by 67 art students
and faculty when they evaluate instruction. Four groups of
subjects, non-art majors, undergraduate art majors, graduate
and bachelor of fine arts students, and faculty members, judged
a series of 35 hypothetical teacher...
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between
the similarity of food preferences among parents and children,
and parent attitudes.
Thirty-five children of preschool ages and their parents served
as subjects for this study. All children were enrolled in preschool
programs established by the = Family Life...
An understanding of the dynamics of individual tree and stand
growth, development, and structural patterns during the immature
formative years of a commercial species is essential to determine
correct thinning practices necessary to attain desired objectives.
This study compared a natural, medium-site Douglas-fir stand
and an adjacent similar stand released...
The distribution and abundance of the interstitial acoel turbellarian,
Diatomovora amoena Kozloff, 1965 was studied in an
estuarine intertidal sand flat in Yaquina Bay, Oregon, from May
1970 through May 1971.
Monthly measurements of biological (organics, sulfides, chlorophyll,
and carotenoids), pore water (salinity, pH,oxygen, and temperature),
and sediment (fine sediment...
This study explored the relationship between sex, age, intelligence,
creativity and sex-role preference among preschool-aged
children. Thirty-nine Caucasian children, 18 boys and 21 girls,
ranging in ages from three years-five months to five years-two months
acted as subjects for this study, All subjects came from intact
families, predominantly of the...
