The Study of "The Anxiety of Influence" on Sung(Song) Poets

Chen, Chao-yin 20 August 2007 (has links)
The author of this dissertation utilizes Harold Bloom's literary theory, known as "The Anxiety of Influence"(1973)  as the theoretical basis and applies it to the study of the phenomena of the Sung poetry. She uses the concepts of "influence" and "misreading" to examine the interaction and relationship between Sung poets and their predecessors. The author chooses five strong Sung poets and observes their creative state of mind while they faced the pressure of influence. Based on their writing strategies, the author inducts "revisionary ratios" that is specific to the Chinese culture and proceeds to shape a new theoretical perspective on the history of Sung poetry.

Examination stress and coping from a cognitive-process perspective

Grina, Michaele E. 30 April 1987 (has links)
This study was designed to determine whether or not students' emotions and coping would change during stages of an examination. If changes in emotions and coping were recorded at different phases of an examination, then these findings would substantiate the position that stress and coping are processes. In addition, the research attempted to determine whether or not mediating factors would influence students' reactions to the examination encounter. The mediating factors that were examined were personality traits, cognitive appraisals, stress emotions, and coping strategies. One hundred-seventeen student volunteers from four sections of college mathematic classes participated in this study. They were asked to complete four sets of questionnaires on their reactions to tests. The instruments used for measuring personality traits were The Reactions to Tests Scale (Test Anxiety), the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, and the Test Efficacy Scale. Emotions were assessed with the Stress Emotions Scale; cognitive appraisal was measured by The Stakes and Difficulty of the Examination Scale; and coping was assessed by the Ways of Coping Checklist. Eleven hypotheses were tested in this study. The statistical procedure for the first two hypotheses was the T test. In addition, a Pearson Product-Moment Correlation was computed to test for significant relationships for the remaining nine hypotheses. Regressions were used for variables which showed significant correlations with the personality trait measures in order to explain variations in emotions. Seven of the null hypotheses were rejected. The following conclusions we~e drawn from the study: 1. In some respects, stress and coping can be defined as a process. 2. The mediating factors, appraisal and coping, did influence the students' emotional reactions to the examination. 3. The mediating factor, personality traits, did influence the students' emotional and behavioral reactions to the examination. In view of the findings, it is recommended that: 1. Further research be conducted on examination stress in order to convincingly substantiate that stress and coping are processes. 2. Counselors and educators in higher education develop testing procedures that facilitate students' test-taking ability. 3. Counseling services in higher education be designed to enhance the performance and comfort level of highly test-anxious students. / Graduation date: 1987
