Gender and real estate sales people : perceptions of self and others in the real estate profession : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Master of Business Studies at Massey University

This research was a preliminary investigation. It set out to explore the effect of gender on the way in which men and women working in the real estate industry perceived themselves, a typical male and a typical female real estate sales person. Data were collected using a questionnaire which was mailed to approximately 2195 full time real estate sales people working for the four largest real estate companies in New Zealand. A 14 item semantic differential scale was employed to assess these perceptions and a number of themes emerged. Gender was an important factor when people appraised themselves, a typical male and a typical female real estate sales person. Results suggested that sex role stereotypes were influential when these perceptions were considered. Multivariate procedures indicated that while the scale had internally consistent properties, it could discriminate between male and female respondents by a moderate amount only. Directions for future research are discussed, particularly the measurement of outcome variables and the impact of gender related perceptions on these, and the need to redefine and redevelop the scale

Skeletal Rearrangements of 9-Thiabicyclononanes and Related Syntheses

This thesis descibes two related areas of chemical investigation. In the first section pyrolytic and base-induced eliminations of 2,6-disubstituted 9-thiabicyclo[3.3.1] nonanes and 2-substituted 9-thiabicyclo [3.3.1]non-6-enes are found to occur with skeletal rearrangement. Similar rearrangement has not been observed when substituents in these positions undergo nucleophilic replacement even though assistance by the lone pairs of electrons on the bridging sulphur atom has been proposed. The rearrangement accompanying elimination is rationalised in terms of the structural and stereochemical characteristics of these compounds. In the particular case of O-alkyl dimethyl thiocarbamate pyrolysis the expected cis elimination, yielding an alkene, is not observed. Instead a side-chain rearrangement to an S-alkyl dimethyl thiocarbamate occurs which has previously been observed only for aromatic thiocarbamates. This rearrangement in an aliphatic situation could arise by a concerted process involving the skeletal carbon-sulphur bonds and a mechanism is proposed. The second section describes three synthetic approaches to 1,2- and 1,4-cyclooctatetraenoquinones, which are potentially pseudo-aromatic. The first method is an extention of earlier attempts to obtain the 1,2-quinone from monocyclic intermediates with protected carbonyl groups. The second and third approaches employ sulphur-bridged bicyclic compounds as synthetic intermediates to the 1,4-quinone. Appropriate functionalisation of these stable systems followed by extrusion of sulphur was proposed in order to overcome the transannular cyclisation which frustrated monocyclic routes

Mary Livingston to Susan Kean, January 3, 1799

Mary Livingston wrote from New York, New York to Susan Kean, unaddressed. Mary informed her aunt, Susan of her activities, which included visiting Mrs. Church and Miss VanderHenvel. Mary included a postscript written entirely in French. She asked that Peter write her a small letter in French.https://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1790s/1587/thumbnail.jp

June Jordan: 09-24-1981

June Jordan was a poet and former professor of English at Stony Brook University. She begins the interview by reading her poem,“A Poem about Intelligence for My Brothers and Sisters.” She continues the interview by discussing how she first became a poet, and talks about her own political poetry and political poetry as a genre. She then talks about the situation in South Africa during the time period of this interview. Jordan briefly touches on her future literary plans and her contribution to literature as a black female writer, and ends the interview by discussing her criticism with the feminist movement.https://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/writers_videos/1019/thumbnail.jp

Geographical mobility and academic achievement of a group of ninth grade junior high school students

Geographical mobility has become a behavior pattern of the American culture. Each year millions of United States' inhabitants more from place to place, many crossing county and state lines. Over half of the population changed their place of residence between 1955 and I960 (U. S. Bureau of the Census, I960). When families move, school-age children are often uprooted and transferred to a different school system. Families such as those connected directly or indirectly with the military services more not only from place to place within the United States, but frequently from country to country. It has become increasingly rare for a child to be born and reared in the ancestral home, and to marry and raise his children in that same home. Theory has held that a change of residence might add to the insecurity of young people. They witness a home being dismantled, overhear adults worrying about finding a new place to lire, and suffer from having their daily routines badly disrupted. It is not surprising that proponents of this theory would expect relationships between mobility and high delinquency rates, high insanity rates, and other symptoms of maladjustments. Landis' (1966) surrey of 100 mobile California families revealed that this traditional view of the family move as an upsetting occurrence is not accurate for most middle class families today

The effect of morality content stories on the young child's responses on a moral development inventory

The primary objective of the present study was to experimentally test the hypothesis that moral development could be fostered in first-grade children by reading them morality stories selected for their content similarity to the induction child-rearing techniques described by Hoffman and Saltzstein (1967). The induction technique involved instructing the child concerning the consequences of his misdeeds on others. In order to assess the treatment effect of the morality stories, the researcher developed the Moral Development Inventory (M.D.I.) for measuring level of moral development in first-grade children. This instrument, modeled after a guilt inventory used in the Hoffman and Saltzstein (1967) study, consisted of four Inventory Stories. Each story contained a protagonist the age of the subjects to be tested. In each story, the protagonist committed a misdeed known only to himself. In the administration of the instrument, the subject was asked to complete each Inventory Story by choosing from three possible endings, each ending corresponding to either high, medium, or low level of guilt. A pilot study (N = 316 first graders) confirmed that the instrument was suitable for use with first-grade subjects. The M.D.I, was then administered to 73 first graders in Walton County, Florida. A numerical score (R = 4-12) was obtained for each subject

Developments at the Advanced Design Technologies Testbed

A report presents background and historical information, as of August 1998, on the Advanced Design Technologies Testbed (ADTT) at Ames Research Center. The ADTT is characterized as an activity initiated to facilitate improvements in aerospace design processes; provide a proving ground for product-development methods and computational software and hardware; develop bridging methods, software, and hardware that can facilitate integrated solutions to design problems; and disseminate lessons learned to the aerospace and information technology communities
