Right cerebral hemispheric lateralization for spatial
perception has been reported by using visual and tactile
spatial tasks in brain-damaged patients, split-brain
patients, and normal subjects. The main purpose of the
present study was to investigate whether or not kinesthetic
spatial perception was dominantly processed with the right
cerebral hemisphere as...
Tightness-looseness (TL) is a cultural construct that measures the level of social norms present in a community, and the level of scrutiny of deviance from these norms. This construct offers a unique foundation for investigating how norms influence behavioral processes. Research in TL is relatively young, creating a frontier of...
This study examined the possible relationship that perception
of parents has in determining the self-concept of
the adult offspring. The literature search revealed that there
has been a lack of studies regarding the adult offspring's
perception of parents. Furthermore, until this study, no
instrument that measures the adult offspring's perception...
The principle purpose of this study was to determine
the effectiveness of human relations-sensitivity training on
the self concept of low income high school students. The
sample group consisted of 47 low income high school students
attending the 1978 Summer Upward Bound program at Oregon
State University. Participants were randomly...
The way in which subjects of different ages copy a complex design
gives an indication of the relative levels of visual perception and
the related developmental trend of overall cognitive development and
left-right hemispheric functioning. The purpose of this study was to
investigate the impact of severe to profound hearing...
There is consensus among researchers that some form of hemispheric lateralization exists when perceiving emotions. However, conclusions regarding the exact organization have been inconsistent with some studies supporting an overall right hemisphere lateralization and others suggesting differential lateralization for positively and negatively valenced emotions. The main objective of this study...
Physical appearance is one of the most important cues
that an individual uses in forming an impression of another
person. Researchers have found that perceptions of age are
negatively related to perceptions of physical attractiveness.
Because salespeople are influential in affecting a store's
sales, especially for nondurable goods (Undell, 1972),...
This investigation was a two stage study performed in two urban/
rural communities in Washington State. Stage I was an effort to replicate a study performed in an eastern Virginia school district whereby
results were obtained demonstrating that 9th graders and black students
identified teacher warmth behaviors as being important...
This study sought to fill a void in research literature supporting Attention Restoration Theory (ART) and the beneficial effects of exposure to natural, green spaces. The literature predominantly discusses studies with adult and older child participants, finding that exposure to natural environments often produces an attention-restoring effect. ART has been...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether one ear
of a profoundly deaf student could duplicate a response rate
similar to the response rate achieved by the opposite ear on an
auditory training program. The formal hypothesis of this study
was: a student that reaches criterion level of...
