The relationship between the Eriksonian concept of ego identity status and the social process of conformity was investigated. Ego identity status was measured by the Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (OM-EIS) (Adams, Shea, and Fitch, 1979). A total of 87 subjects were categorized into one of the four ego identity status groups: Diffusion, Foreclosure, Moratorium, and Identity Achievement. Conformity was measured by peer ratings, and experimental task, and by three self-report personality measures. Two of the conformity measures supported the main hypothesis that those in the less mature ego identity statuses (Diffusion and Foreclosure) would demonstrate the most conformity behavior. More specifically, peers rated males in the Diffusion and Foreclosure statuses as more conforming, and wales and females in the Diffusion status rated themselves as more conforming on a peer pressure conformity self-report. In light of these results, the relationship between conformity and ego identity status is discussed.

Red porgy <i>Pagrus pagrus</i> is a reef fish important to both recreational and commercial fisheries off the coast of the southeastern United States. Stock assessments performed on this species since 1985 have shown a population in decline. As a result, a number of management actions were put in place, including a harvest moratorium in 1999. Stock assessments for many marine species, including red porgy, rely on a combination of fishery-dependent and fishery-independent data. When a moratorium is in place, the flow of fishery-dependent data is interrupted, making assessments more reliant on fishery-independent information. To investigate how loss of fishery-dependent data, as during a moratorium, would affect stock assessment results for red porgy, I conducted model simulations to represent moratoria of various durations. The most recent red porgy stock assessment model developed during a 2002 workshop was used as a tool in these simulations. I found that biological reference points, such as biomass and fishing mortality, and population projections were more variable for longer simulated moratoria. When fishery-dependent data were removed, minor fluctuations in length and age frequencies resulted in larger fluctuations in estimates of biological reference points. The simulated moratoria also resulted in a slight bias toward over-estimating stock productivity. Similar simulations and analyses were conducted to determine the effects of reducing fishery-independent data from the Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment, and Prediction (MARMAP) program. Length and age data of reduced MARMAP sample sizes were bootstrapped from original data, and used as input for the stock assessment model. Biological reference points and population projections were more variable for small MARMAP sample sizes, due to the incomplete representation of the length and age frequencies of the population. Reduced sample sizes also showed a slight bias toward predicting a more productive population. These types of simulations emphasize the benefits of investigating potential effects of data reduction on assessment results prior to implementing management strategies, such as a moratorium or sampling change, that cause data loss. Although decreasing red porgy data resulted in slight changes in assessment results, there are more data available for this species than other species in the snapper-grouper complex. For these lesser-studied species, reducing data could dramatically affect assessment capabilities. To investigate this, I compiled available data for these species and identified the stock assessment method used. I then predicted assessment capabilities for each species under a moratorium and if the MARMAP survey was eliminated. A moratorium could reduce assessment capabilities for 37 of the 73 species, and 63 species would require management based on key species. Removing MARMAP data would reduce assessment capabilities of eight species, many of which are economically important. There was an overwhelming need for a reliable catch-per-effort index, information that could improve assessment capabilities of 67 species. This index could be obtained by expanding the MARMAP survey, from a fishery observer program, or from commercial logbooks. By linking the red porgy stock assessment, an evaluation of sampling regimes and data loss during a moratorium, and the expansion of this stock assessment strategy to multiple species, managers will ultimately benefit from increased ability to manage stocks experiencing varying regulations and data availability. / Master of Science

This study presents the moratorium debate as a phenomenon of its own time. The challenges the moratorium debate poses to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Southern African/Central Diocese come under the spotlight. The AICs have taken the lead in attempting to live up to the “four selves” principle, that is, self-governing, self-supporting, self-propagating and self-theologizing, and areas which ELCSA/CD can learn from the AICs are highlighted. Finally the study explores issues of mutuality and interdependence, and few guidelines are proposed for ELCSA/CD. / Christian Spirituality / M. Th. (Missiology)

Whilst studies on capital punishment in Japan have been conducted by various scholars from various perspectives, empirical research on the de facto moratorium period is largely unavailable. This thesis aims to investigate how consistently the Japanese government justified capital punishment during the execution-free period from 1989 to 1993. Its primary goal is to throw light on the elite-driven nature of the capital punishment system where important decisions are made within the closed institutional dynamic, often irrespective of domestic or international factors. It will also highlight that capital punishment policy has been dealt with by the Japanese government as an issue of law and order, which does not necessarily invite criticism from human rights perspectives. The thesis then proceeds to empirically examine the governmental discourse on capital punishment from 1980 to 2002. It will contend that investigations from an appropriate approach can make clear the elite-driven nature of capital punishment policy in Japan. Finally, it will suggest implications for the international and domestic anti-death-penalty advocates regarding their campaigns over Japan, and reflect on how this thesis can help tackle future research.

Under this agreement, all signatories commit to not buy soybeans produced in lands deforested after July 2006. There is no effective evaluation of this program and the literature in economics have not addressed the question of whether a market ban could reduce deforestation. My main specification is a triple-difference estimate and I find that, unlike previous evaluations, the moratorium had no effect to reduce deforestation. / Este trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar a Moratória da Soja, uma iniciativa privada para reduzir o desmatamento no Bioma Amazônia. Sob esse acordo, todos os signatários se comprometem a não comprar a soja produzida em terras que foram desmatadas a partir de julho de 2006. Até hoje, não foram feitas boas avaliações desse programa e a literatura de economia desconhece a efetividade de embargos a produtos como ferramenta de combate ao desmatamento. A principal especificação econométrica deste trabalho consiste numa estimação em diferenças triplas e resulta, diferentemente das avaliações anteriores, na avaliação de que a moratória não foi capaz de reduzir o desmatamento na Amazônia.
