Xerox University Microfilms INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

AN EXPLORATORY STUDY IN VALUES CLARIFICATION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO A MORE UNIFIED VALUING PROCESS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Harvey Edgar Vance, Jr., B.A., M.E. ***** The Ohio State University 1974 Reading Committee: Approved by Professor Charles Galloway Professor Kelly Duncan Professor Leonard Andrews Adviser Department of Education AN EXPLORATORY STUDY IN VALUES CLARIFICATION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO A MORE UNIFIED VALUING PROCESS By Harvey Edgar Vance, Jr., Ph.D. The Ohio State University, 1974 Professor Charles Galloway, Adviser This investigation used an assortment of values clarification learning approaches with one hundred and fifteen secondary students at a suburban high school. The inquiry attempted to determine if such clarification and confrontation methods contribute to personal recognition and growth toward a more unified valuing process. Unified valuing was stipulated to mean a closer integration between the thinking, feeling, and acting elements of personal valuing. Valuing, for the purposes of this study, is a process that culminates with a value when each of the following is included: (1) choosing, (2) choos­ ing from alternatives, (3) choosing after thoughtful consideration of alternatives, (4) prizing and cherishing, (5) affirming, (6) acting upon one's choices, (7) repeating after reconsideration. In order to investigate the premise that a variety of values clarification procedures will enhance the development of a balanced base for value determination, a number of value stimuli were selected. These approaches were assimilated into a modern world literature class for a six-weeks period. The value stimuli chosen were: 1. eleven values clarification strategies from Values Clarification by Simon, Howe, and Kirschenbaum ; 2. value films from "Searching for Values" film anthology? 3. value speakers; 4. value emphasis with the literature; 5. pre- and post-tests: "Value Survey" and "Measure of Self-Consistency." The investigator constructed guidelines for field notations of individual and group behavior during the values activ­ ities. Also, self-reporting techniques, both written and oral, were utilized to help gauge the effects of the values procedures. The data were organized around the objectives of the study. Numerous student exemplars from the values activities were detailed. From the presentation and analysis of the data, the following assertions seemed war­ ranted : 1. Values clarification assisted the students in becoming more aware of their own value prior­ ities. 2. Students became more sensitive to the gaps between their words or ideals and their actions in specific situations. 3. Students were more able to see inter­ relationships among their own diverse personality traits. 4. Values approaches sometimes generated personal feelings that expanded into student reflection and active involvement with the issue under consideration. 5. The valuing process of choosing, prizing, and acting was incorporated into the daily lives of some students. 6. Values clarification facilitated the develop­ ment of self-awareness and acknowledgment of intrinsic feelings and attitudes among the students. 7. The intensive values emphasis influenced some students to recognize their direct relationship to others and to their society. 8. The relationship between values clarification procedures and the literature content was often unclear to many students. While there were many signs of positive personal growth, there were also indications that some students were threatened by the personal nature of the value learning strategies. Other students questioned the place of values clarification in a classroom that is committed to teaching skills in reading and composition. And finally, there was some evidence that the subjective elements triggered by values clarification were not necessarily merging with the reflective and active coordinates of the valuing process. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to Professor L. 0. Andrews for his thoughtful suggestions that helped to guide the direction of this project. Professor Kelly Duncan’s assistance was also very much appreciated. He was able to recognize problem areas and offer concrete methods to address these areas of con­ cern. The chairman for this candidate, Professor Charles Galloway, was consistently a sensitive and honest base of support. His realness was indeed an instrumental factor in the origin and completion of the study. And to Linda, the most authentic person I know, thank you. VITA November 24, 1941 ....

  • 1 Wrong Side out the Bipolar Experience by Benton Savage
    Wrong Side Out The Bipolar Experience By Benton Savage 1 Foreword Before I was diagnosed, I thought manic depression meant someone was a depressed maniac. I have since learned that it describes the cycles from the polar opposites mania and depression that are separated by symptom free intervals. The term “manic depression” was replaced with “bipolar disorder” by the medical establishment in 1980. The best reason I can uncover for this metamorphosis is many people were confused over what manic depression meant which subsequently led to the negative stigma perpetuated by such popular phrases like “manic Monday” or “homicidal maniac.” The term “bipolar disorder” is believed to be a more clear diagnosis, but for all practical purposes if someone tells you they are bipolar, they could interchange the words manic depressive and be considered the same. I was diagnosed with bipolar when I was twenty-five, which is the average age of onset though many people are not diagnosed until many years later. In fact seventy-five percent of bipolar have been misdiagnosed at least once, and many struggle for years not knowing what is wrong, but knowing full well that something isn’t right. Many bipolar people are initially diagnosed as depressive and are subsequently given antidepressants like Prozac or Paxil rather than a mood stabilizer. This mistreatment exacerbates the condition by thrusting them into a dangerous mania. In that case I should have been one of the lucky ones. There are three types of mood episodes in bipolar disorder: mania, depression, and mixed, which is the worst. While I think most everyone understands what depression 2 means, mania and mixed are more complex and often difficult to determine especially by the patient.
