Item A comparative study of drug knowledge in an urban school and implications for drug education(1971-08) Jones, MarianItem A qualitative study of selected demographic characteristics, generation of birth, and birth order on the stated purpose and goals for money usage among college students and their parents(1998-08) Dilworth, Jennie; Martin, Jennifer; Engelbrecht, JoAnn; Fannin, Ronald; ChenowethThe purpose of this study was to explore the influences on the formation of money purposes and goals using a qualitative method. Little published research pertaining to the formation of money purposes and goals is available. Goal-setting and perceived purposes for allocating money may influence an individual's relationship with money and money-related behaviors. A purposive sample of 75 college students and 75 of their parents was obtained. Three research questions guided the study: (a) How do selected demographic variables influence money purpose and goals? (b) how does generation of birth influence money purpose and goals? (c) how does birth order influence money purpose and goals? Data were collected by means of written responses to open- and closed-ended questions in a survey format. The findings of the study revealed that respondents held specific goals for the use of their money, and they perceived various purposes for money. Respondents indicated preferences for money purposes/goals relating to the necessities of life and providing security for self and family. Savings and luxuries also were common purposes/goals and four money philosophies were identified. Debt was a less common theme, and charity was listed by few respondents. Trends in theme preferences were explored for respondents grouped by selected demographic variables (ethnic identity, current and birth family gross income, gender, marital status), generation of birth, and birth order. Few notable differences emerged for theme preferences among groups. Parents indicated greater interest in retirement savings whereas students more often listed general savings in their responses. White respondents preferred educational themes, yet the sub-theme of student loans was more common among African Americans. Males indicated greater interest in providing security for self and family and retirement savings. No male respondents proposed a charity purpose/goal for money. Similar theme preferences were observed for respondents classified in the birth order positions of oldest male and female, youngest female, and only male and female listed similar themes/sub-themes.Item Item A study of physical fitness and selected sports skills of normal and educable mentally retarded girls enrolled in Levelland Junior High School in Levelland, Texas(1967-08) Cole, ClaraNo abstract availableItem Item A study of the relationship between the ability to learn selected gross motor skills in tennis and the ability to control muscular tension consciously(1969-08) Walton, JudithNo abstract availableItem Academic achievement quotient as related to appropriateness and self-concept of clothing of fourth grade students(1968-08) Nygaard, Shirley; Mack, Pauline; Bateman, Jessie; Broome, Esther; Janssen, Calvin; Caster, BethelItem Acceptability of snack foods prepared especially for elderly diabetics(1981-12) Wedgwood, Ann Marie; Brown, Wilma; Shanklin, Carol; Reber, ElwoodItem Achievement motivation of primary school children(1970-05) Warner, F.

The subjects were 10 American Indian women from 50 to 78 years of age, from Ardmore, Oklahoma and the Dallas-Fort Worth areas. The study investigated perceptions held by women about dominant society influences on American Indian family life, traditions, and values. The nine themes that resulted from semi-structured interviews were: (a) importance of education; (b) value of job and employment opportunities; (c) teaching, speaking, and listening to Indian language; (d) attending tribal functions to maintain cultural identity; (e) sharing stories, ceremonies, and traditions with children; (f) adjusting to dominant society; (g) need for dominant society to be more knowledgeable about American Indians; (h) responsibility to the family; (i) less commitment to traditional American Indian family lifestyle. Two additional findings were: (a) influence and changes of American Indian youth and (b) losing American Indian identity.Item Adaptation of traditional Chinese design details to modern western world apparel(1982-05) Chang, Sophia Ching-Hsin; Garrett, Clarice; Riggs, CharlesItem Adapted dance for mentally retarded children: An experimental study(1982-08) Boswell, Betty; Sherrill, Claudine; Mott, Jane; Keeton, Gladys; Pyfer, Jean; Moran, JoanItem Adjustment of a selected group of preschool children(1971-08) Nichols, ThelmaItem "Agnus Dei: A suite of three original modern dance compositions based upon selected parts of the Roman Catholic Mass"(1968-07-10) Williams, Ann Marie; Duggan, Anne; Meyers, Francis; Campbell, Mary; Thomas, JosephItem An anthropometric analysis of the os calcaneus in American Negroes and Caucasians and its implications for ankle joint mechanics(1969-06) Stasswender, ElizabethNo abstract availableItem An elaboration of the durability, wrinkle recovery, and color loss of men's worn and non-worn durable press trousers(1971-08) Morgan, Deborah; Broome, Esther; Mack, Pauline; Cardwell, Gerald
