The development and evaluation of a scale to measure maternal self-esteem.

Developmental research in the last ten years has documented the importance of early mother-infant interaction for later child development (Brazelton, 1973; Thoman, 1975; Clarke-Stewart, 1973; Ainsworth Bell & Slayton, 1974). The quality of the early mother-infant interaction has been found to correlate with later social and cognitive development (Yarrow, Rubenstein, & Pederson, & Jankowski, 1972; Elardo, Bradley, & Caldwell, 1975)

Photographs from the road: Inge Morath, Sophie Calle, Sally Mann and feminist road trip vision

This dissertation analyzes the visual and narrative uncertainty pervasive throughout the American road trip photography, film, and writing of artists Inge Morath, Sophie Calle, and Sally Mann. I argue that road travel is central to the content and style of their photographic projects. I reframe these as projects done by traveling women, moving purposefully through space and performing American rituals that engage with a whole history of photography’s encounters with race and gender on and off the road. The obfuscating and fragmentary nature of these projects sustain tensions between seeing and not seeing and knowing and not knowing from the peculiar space and history of the road. Chapter one argues that Morath’s photographs from her 1960 trip with Henri Cartier Bresson challenge the tourist’s view of history by refusing to visualize the celebratory tropes associated with this white, middle-class, patriarchal experience. Instead, Morath pictures stifling interiors, visually confusing reflections, and diminutive landscapes to show the disorienting qualities of history that are suppressed in touristic experiences of the road. Chapter two analyzes Calle and Greg Shephard’s grainy, shaky, 1992 documentary road film as a way to understand Calle’s artistic filmic and photographic relationship to truth and autobiography. The third chapter considers Mann’s 1998 Deep South landscape photographs, shot over the course of three drives to Mississippi, as relics collected on an American-style pilgrimage to places of traumatic racial violence, including sites related to the 1955 murder of Emmett Till. I term the strategies at work in the case studies as feminist road trip vision. I argue that this type of vision, inspired by embodied experiences on the road, thrives upon documentation, partiality, situated knowledge, and sharing. Feminist road trip vision is valuable in its very incompleteness and stays true to the partial and strange experiences of the road

Long term measurement network for FIFE

The objectives were: to obtain selected instruments which were not standard equipment on the Portable Automated Mesometeorological (PAM) and Data Control Platform (DCP) stations; to assist in incorporation of these instruments onto the PAM and DCP stations; to help provide routine maintenance of the instruments; to conduct periodic instrument calibrations; and to repair or replace malfunctioning instruments when possible. All of the objectives were or will be met soon. All instruments and the necessary instrument stands were purchased or made and were available for inclusion on the PAM and DCP stations before the beginning of the IFC-1. Due to problems beyond control, the DCP stations experienced considerable difficulty in becoming operational. To fill some of the gaps caused by the DCP problems, Campbell CR21-X data loggers were installed and the data collected on cassette tapes. Periodic checks of all instruments were made, to maintain data quality, to make necessary adjustments in certain instruments, to replace malfunctioning instruments, and to provide instrument calibration. All instruments will be calibrated before the beginning of the 1988 growing season as soon as the weather permits access to all stations and provides conditions that are not too harsh to work in for extended periods of time
