Abstracts Of Seven Doctoral Dissertations Completed Under Manpower Administration Research Grants

This volume contains abstracts of seven doctoral dissertations completed during fiscal years 1972 and 1973 under research grants from the Manpower Administration. Abstracting for both volumes was done as part of a Manpower Administration project at the College of Business and Public Administration, University of Arizona. Because the editors took considerable liberty with the language, organization, and, in some instances, emphasis of the dissertations, bylines are omitted from the abstracts. However, dissertation authors were given the opportunity to review drafts and are fully identified on the next page, which also contains information on how to purchase copies of their dissertations. In addition, the full text of each dissertation may be read in the library of the university from which its author received his degree, and all are available in the library of the U.S. Department of Labor. The abstracts were prepared by the following graduate research associates (each a doctoral candidate) at the University of Arizona: Barry Bainton (anthropology), David Shaw (economics), and Marilyn Spencer (economics).
