The principal goal of this paper is to extend the classical problem of finding the values of alpha is an element of C for which either (f) over cap (alpha) (z) = integral(z)(0) (f (zeta)/zeta)(alpha) d zeta or f(alpha) (z) = integral(z)(0)(f' (zeta))(alpha)d zeta are univalent, whenever f belongs to some subclasses of univalent mappings in D, to the case of harmonic mappings, by considering the shear construction introduced by Clunie and Sheil-Small in [4].
