Power Loc
![]() Need stats help for my dissertation prospectus? I am using a survey to measure locus of control orientation (internal vs. external) in low-income, minority students. I am looking to see if there are differences in LOC orientation between low-acheiving and high-achieving groups? Between males and females? and whether or not there is an interaction between gender, age, achievement and LOC? I am concerned about sample size, power of my study, etc. I have 150 students who have agreed to participate (all of which are low-income, minority students). Some are males, some are females, some are high achievers, some are low-achievers. I have controlled for income and race (all of the 150 are low-income minority). What adjustments need to be made in order for my study to be meaningful? My committee members are concerned about the low sample size, the research questions resulting in low power. Please......only those who knows stats need reply. Thanks. # 1 -- I assume from your sample size that you'll be using non-parametric statistical procedures (chi square, etc.). # 2 -- I thought interest in LOC went away back in my day, that is, the mid 70s. # 3 -- Since LOC is essentially a cognitive issue (that is, a choice a person makes, supported by internalized self-statements about "the kind of world I inhabit"), I assume you'll be investigating each participants cognitive style, including how they decided on externality vs. internality of control, and what specific chidhood events may have led to or supported such choices. Thus Aaron Beck's ideas of "automatic thinking," Bill Glasser's "Choice Theory," and of course "Belonging" and similar issues in Alfred Adler. # 4 -- Since a lot of the underlying personality issues were first identified by Alfred Adler, I assume you will be exploring his ideas, especially the influence that a child's need to (and therefore efforts to) Belong in the childhood family has on the child's choices about personal control vs. other-control. Here you butt right into Adler's ideas about plus/minus feelings, inferiority/superiority, compensation/over-compensation, and the rest. Especially important would be Adler's ideas about "over-burdening [childhood] situations," in which he gives specific childhood events that preclude a child growing into a fully-functioning adult. In seeking childhood origins, look into Adler's idea of "early recollections." # 5 -- Can I assume that you are seeking some answers in LOC for other aspects of your samples' lives? Are they "high" or "low" achievers in part by choice? (It was Adler who spoke of "soft determinism" at a time when there were only two ways to describe by people are as they are: environment, or heredity. He offered the third possibility: personal choice. Do external locus of control individuals "buy into" the former ideas, while internal individuals believe they have some choice in how they manage their lives? (Such as the goals they seek and their ability to reach those goals?) It would be interesting to see your study instrument(s) to see how questions or whatever relate to Adlerian thinking, but that's just me, since I'm a hard-core Adlerian (as you may have gathered). You may want to check "The Individual Psychology of Alfrered Adler" (Heinz and Rowena Ansbacher), and also my website, www.lifecourseinstitute.com, for childhood Belonging influences and their continuation into adult life. By any chance does your study have anything to do with "Attachment Disorder" (including "children without conscience"). So much of that discipline, in the present day, has its origins in Adler's thinking 100 years ago. Good luck on this...been there! -- Dr. Bob PS -- Sorry if there are speeeling errors, but the spell checker doesn't seem to be working. |

Locticians Help You Grow Great DreadlocksCopyright (c) 2008 Jeffery Bradley A loctician is a hairstylists specializing in dreadlocks. They help you grow dreadlocks safe, fast, and effective. A loctician will help or guide you through the process of growing dreadlocks. They create "buds" or handmade "baby" dreadlocks with your hair using different techniques such as the palm roll, 2-stand method, Sista Locs, and others. They continue to provide maintenance until your hair matures into dreadlocks. After the first visit, it may take six months or less before you have good strong dreadlocks. Depending on the texture of your hair, you may need to visit your loctician two to four times a month. At a cost anywhere between thirty-five and seventy-five dollars each appointment, using a loctician can become expensive. Locticians are very flexible. Some work out of their homes but most majority work for a beauty salon. Currently no licensing or certification exists for locticians. Make sure you choose one with training or experience with natural hair and dreadlocks. Here are five ways a loctician will help you grow dreadlocks: 1. Skip "ugly" stage if taking the natural route. The "natural route" means let your hair grow wild until it creates dreadlocks. In about three to six months your hair will create a big nappy curly afro eventually changing into dreadlocks. Though the afro may look beautiful and powerful to you, to others it gives the impression you just don't give a damn. A loctician can eliminate this stage by creating dreadlocks through twisting or backcombing. Your "handmade" dreadlocks will look more presentable during the time it takes for your hair to start locking itself. 2. You only want temporary dreadlocks. A loctician can twist you hair into any dreadlock style you want. Do not confuse this with real dreadlocks ' a twist is simply stands of hair forced to stick together with wax or a similar substance. You can change hairstyle by shampooing the wax out of your hair or untwisting the locks. However, mature dreadlocks require cutting if you want to change your hairstyle. 3. You scalp itches and you need treatment. Sometimes it's great to have a loctician shampoo and oil your hair or dreadlocks. Not only does this helps your scalp but is meditative and relaxing. 4. Remove damages caused by hair relaxers and other chemicals. You may have used chemicals in the past and need help getting your hair back to a natural state. A loctician should be able to help you accomplish this goal. 5. Want to know how many different styles of dreadlocks. You are interested in different ways people are growing dreadlocks. A loctician should have pictures of past work as well has explain each technique or process. You do not need a loctician to grow dreadlocks, their role is to help the process and make sure you get what you want from your experience of growing dreadlocks. When looking for a good loctician, get good referrals, ask many questions, and don't be afraid to change loctician if you are not getting the service you expect.

Pollutants Cause Water Damage On A Larger Scale Than You ThinkWe are becoming increasingly aware that we must learn to conserve our natural resource of water. We can not make it ourselves like electricity, once we are out of clean, drinkable water, we will just be out. Of course, running out of water might be a long, long, time away, but for the future generations it will become increasingly difficult to have adequate water to go around if the world does not stop abusing it now. Since the dawn of the industrial age, many of our rivers and streams have been polluted to the point that it has been found to be very unsafe to even swim in some of them. Fish have died and been deformed by all the toxic pollutants that have been constantly pumped into many waterways for years. Now, not only are rivers and streams at risk of being ruined, but our very oceans are becoming littered with all sorts of debris and pollutants as well. While some states in our country are taking action to reduce toxic chemicals and trash being put into their water sources, other places in other countries in the bid to catch up with the other nations in prosperity and productivity are carelessly allowing their water sources to reach the state of the ones we are trying to clean up. It does no good for one area of the Earth to try and repair and maintain safety in our water supply while other areas of the world or disregarding the importance of enacting measures to ensure water cleanliness. While the cleanliness of our fresh water supplies is vitally important, so also is the conservation of it. We as Americans waste a tremendous amount of water because we have become accustomed to having a great supply at any given time. The recent droughts in the Southern states brought attention and awareness to just how difficult the situation can become when fresh water is in extreme short supply. Many were forced to travel for miles last year just to obtain drinking water for themselves and their animals. As responsible, intelligent people, we have to start considering the importance of our water supply and begin to treat it with the respect it is due. While we are trying to clean up the air we breathe and damage to our planet in general, water protection and conservation is something that is the responsibility of each and every one of us. We each must make our own contributions now to this effort instead of waiting until there is true crisis for us and our planet.

Open Hopper
![]() Maytag RSW22E0DAE. Now, the ice-cube maker has a problem. Please help? I have a Maytag RSW22E0DAE. Worked fine for all these years. Now, the ice-cube maker has a problem. The hopper, where the cubes are, has a solid block of ice on the bottom. The cubes, well, half disks, are joined together even 6 at a time. I defrosted it, cleaned it, after the night, it was the same. Also, the chute, where the cubes come out had a block of ice, solid, like water poured in there and then froze. It is like water is coming out of the dispenser, fills up the bin so it will pour into the chute, then freezes up. You can see some of the cubes how they stick out from the ice that is formed on the bottom of the hopper. There is no water, unfrozen, anywhere though, when I open it and look. If anybody has any idea what is going on, please help. Thank you, Adrian The cuber is not shutting the water off when it's suppose to. If you don't have a book on it then look on line or call a service Tech. |
