A Moderational Model Investigating Child Temperament, Executive Functioning, and Contextual Predictors of Externalizing Behaviors in Preschoolers
Child externalizing behavioral problems (e.g., ADHD symptoms and aggressive behaviors) often appear early in life, are relatively stable, and are associated with maladaptive outcomes in many domains of functioning. Research has shown that, for a subset of children who demonstrate these early behavioral patterns, the course is often more pervasive and persistent. Consequently, a better understanding of externalizing behavioral problems during the preschool period is essential. The current study examined whether biologically-based correlates (i.e., child temperament and executive functioning/neurocognitive attention; EF/Attention) would moderate the relation between the contextual correlates (i.e., socioeconomic status and parenting practices) and externalizing behaviors (i.e., ADHD symptoms and aggressive behaviors) in a community sample of 138 preschoolers, approximately half of which attended Head Start. Contrary to prediction, socioeconomic status (SES) was not related to child externalizing behaviors. However, consistent with the hypotheses, more negative parenting practices, as well as higher levels of problematic child temperament dimensions and poor EF/Attention, were related to higher levels of externalizing behaviors. Additionally, the results provided partial support for the hypothesis that biologically-based characteristics would moderate the relation both between SES and child behavior problems and between negative parental practices and child behavior problems. That is, difficult temperament or poor EF/Attention served as a risk factor for externalizing behaviors among children. Early identification of the correlates of externalizing behaviors in preschoolers—particularly in complex models considering multiple factors—is an important first step in recognizing children who might be at-risk for these maladaptive behaviors and can facilitate the development and implementation of preventative care
Techniques for teaching Amos and Hosea to young adults.
Thesis (M.A.)--Boston UniversityThe endeavor to make the significance of Amos and Hosea real and vital, both to teachers of young adults and to young adults themselves, has made the preparation of this thesis a challenging work. The primary purpose has been to provide helpful and reliable information and to suggest conclusions concerning these great pioneering minds of the eighth century B. C., together with presentations of some practical procedures and techniques which might he used in teaching the materials to which reference has been made and which have been included in the main body of the thesis.
It has been assumed that too often Biblical materials have seemed unapproachable to modern young adult groups. Like- wise, their teachers are frequently unaware of the great opportunities and challenging possibilities for exploring important truths and teaching the most powerful and pertinent lessons to be found anywhere that are available to them in the pages of the Bible supplemented by the findings of the best scholar- ship of the ages. Therefore, it has been one of the chief aims of this dissertation to call attention to these prevalent attitudes and misconceptions and to seek to arouse enthusiasm for new exploration and discovery in this realm so many times neglected and by-passed. It naturally follows that an additional goal sought by this discourse has been to bring inspiration and revelation through the specific studies of Amos and Hosea which would create a desire for further and continued quest for the riches contained in the Old and New Testaments which would be used as foundation and background for the work of young adults in our churches.

Public and private space in Canaletto's London: An examination of the artist's depiction of the city and its gardens 1745-1756
A study of the dimensions of public and private space m London; developing the concept that Canaletto may have consciously painted London as a civic ideal and a city of imperial proportions. The translation of the civic ideal into the private sphere of the beholder through humanist discourse is also explored. This depiction of the civic ideal is then contrasted to literary texts concerning London; ranging from satires to contemporary guidebooks, from the theoretical urban planning of Gwynn and Ralph to the works of Gay and Fielding. The contrast of the idea of private vice against public good reveals that what is not painted becomes as important as what is, for it in itself constitutes the private realm. The final chapter deals with Canaletto's depiction of St. James's Park and the pleasure gardens of Vauxhall and Ranelagh. The public nature of the gardens and the dimensions of display, spectatorship and spectacle are also examined
