examining responses to flooding by soil type in a greenhouse setting. A field study
examined...
The purpose of this study was to provide insight into the thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations that women experienced following reminiscence therapy. Watson's Human Science and Human Care theory provided the framework for this investigation....
The present study investigated the effects of misattributed physiological arousal on experienced anxiety and subjective arousal. Cantor, Zillmann, and Bryant (1975) and Zillmann, Johnson, and Day ( 1974) found that unperceived exercise- induced...
This study investigated whether instructions regarding expectancy of therapeutic gain would significantly reduce public speaking anxiety. Seven Ss who exhibited a fear of speaking before a large group of people were assigned to a group that...
The present study examined test anxiety and how several variables combined to affect performance. Test anxiety has been viewed as a physiological component, as a derivative of self-concept, a skills deficit, a cognitive component, etc. This study...
This study examined the level of attitudes toward and knowledge about pain management among practicing nurses at a rural Midwestern hospital. The literature reflects that nurses ineffectively manage patients pain due to inappropriate fears of...
Invasion by nonnative plants is particularly prevalent in wetlands. While the ecological patterns in wetland plants are well known, it is less well known how flooding-related soil conditions influence the physiological success of introduced species...
The relative importance of graded stimulus presentation and muscle relaxation in the reduction of classically conditioned autonomic responses were investigated in an experimental analogue of systematic desensitization and its component parts. Skin...
30 male and female Ss from undergraduate psychology classes were assigned, 10 each, to 1 of 3 experimental groups. One group was shown 4 “irrational” followed by 4 “rational” triads (IR); one group was shown 4 “irrational” followed by...
14 Ss were paired according to pre-treatment smoking rate, then randomly assigned, 7 each, to either a systematic desensitization-covert sensitization (SD -CS) or relaxation-discussion (R-D) group. Ss were seen in groups of 3 or 4 each for 4...
This study examined the level of knowledge and attitudes regarding pain management among practicing ADN prepared nurses and nursing students in the last year of nursing school in Associate degree programs. The literature reflects that nurses...
This study has investigated the psychological effects of perceived and actual independence from and over the environment, i.e., control, as measured by the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, and the...
The relationship of the annual lipid cycle of Peromyscus leucopus to sex, reproductive status, and environmental conditions was evaluated. The lipid index, as g fat/g fat-free dry weight (FFDW), indicated significant differences among months in...
The present experiment was designed to assess the effects that two different relaxation techniques have on the handwriting quality of college students. The experimental design was a 3x4 (conditions x sessions) split-plot design. Twenty-four...
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of listening to music during submaximal exercise on the time it takes to reach 70% of one's age estimated maximum heart rate, blood pressure, and rate of perceived exertion (RPE). This study...
"Lower body activities such as walking, running, and cycling have traditionally been used as the activity mode during physiological exercise testing. Interest in specific responses to upper extremity exercise has increased since upper body cycle...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of various psychological and physiological variables upon the adherence of female college students. Adherence to a program of habitual physical activity has significant implications form the...
In an effort to understand more about mental illness, one must be able to comprehend the role of the mind or consciousness and the brain in order to determine the etiological factors of both schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder-MPD. The...
The purpose of this investigation was to assess the ability of the Tiffany Control Scales (TCS) to differentiate between those persons at risk and those persons not at risk for alcohol related problems in their lives. Recent literature indicates...
