Abstract:
Completion times for doctoral psychology students are twice as long as those of other disciplines, and the attrition rate is over half of the matriculated students. Research indicates that (a) burnout plays an integral part in delayed completion and attrition for doctoral students and (b) personality and coping influence the development of burnout. In an effort to support prevention and intervention strategies, this study explored the gap in research regarding moderating effects of coping styles on the relationship between personality traits and burnout levels in online doctoral psychology students, as this population is growing at a significant rate and possesses additional risks for burnout due to physical isolation from faculty, academic peers, and support services. The NEO Five-Factor Inventory assessed the personality traits of Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness; the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations measured Task-, Emotion-, and Avoidant-Oriented coping styles; and the Maslach Burnout Inventory--Student Survey assessed the burnout dimensions of Exhaustion, Cynicism, and Efficacy. Results of multiple regression analysis indicated positive relationships between Neuroticism, Emotion-Oriented Coping, and Burnout, and negative relationships between Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness, Task-Oriented Coping, and Burnout. Avoidant-Oriented Coping was identified as a moderating variable on the predictive relationship between Conscientiousness and Professional Efficacy. This study contributes to social change by improving the understanding of burnout factors for online doctoral psychology students, which could enhance intervention strategies and improve timely program completion.

Abstract:
As online graduate programs gain popularity, it has become more important to understand how students enrolled in these programs develop their professional identities. Researchers have demonstrated that there are both benefits and drawbacks to participation in blended learning programs (which incorporate in person and online instruction). It is not known how students enrolled in blended clinical psychology PhD programs experience the in-person portion of these programs and what their experiences mean for their professional identity development. This study examined the perceived impact of one part of an online clinical psychology doctoral program, the in-person classroom experiences, on the professional identity of clinical psychology trainees. Drawing from theories such as actor network theory and transactional distance theory, the current study explored how interactions between students and professors shaped professional identity. The study was qualitative phenomenological, using NVivo software to organize interview data from participants enrolled in blended doctoral programs. There were 6 participants total. A total of 8 themes were found in the data. These themes included fear, expertise, improved understanding, adjusting, growth, change, dissatisfaction, and finding support. Students valued the time spent with professors and perceived themselves to have grown after participating in in-person intensives. The themes found gleaned insight into the professional identity development of students enrolled in blended clinical psychology doctoral programs. This study has implications for how training programs for those in blended programs can be improved, thus improving the quality of patient care.

Abstract:

With an increase of Spanish-speakers residing in the United States, there is an increase in the need for Spanish-speaking mental health providers. Psychologists have to undergo years of education and extensive training in order to get licensed to provide services. However, little is known about the education and training of psychologists who are bilingual Spanish-English speakers providing mental health services to monolingual Spanish-speaking clients. This qualitative study gathered feedback via phone interviews from seven doctoral level psychology students who identified as bilingual Spanish-English. Feedback gathered was on the Spanish Language Assessment measure created by Dr. Rogelio Serrano in the hope of modifying the measure for future use. In addition, feedback was gathered on each participant?s experience in graduate school as it relates to preparedness for working with the Spanish-speaking population, suggestions for improving education and training in this area, and their understanding of cultural and linguistic competence. A thematic analysis outlined themes in participant responses. The findings will help shed light on the assessment for linguistic and cultural competence in bilingual Spanish-English clinicians, in addition to exploring ways to improve clinical graduate training for those working with Spanish-speaking populations.

Full text
Abstract:
Little is known about the experiences of doctoral students who are active duty military or veterans seeking a degree in counselor education and supervision (CES). The purpose of this research was to positively impact the counseling profession by ensuring adequate representation of military-competent counselors through an exploration of the academic journey of military students. This research sought to highlight military students' perceptions of barriers and contributors to degree completion. Selection criteria for participants involved any United States military personnel classified as active or inactive. These military personnel had to have earned within the past 12 months or were currently enrolled in a counselor education and supervision PhD program at an institution accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs. This research adopted a phenomenological hermeneutic theoretical approach to explore the lived experiences of 6 military students on their journey to degree completion in a CES doctoral program. The central research question focused on the lived experiences of military CES students related to their journey towards degree completion. Key results emerged in the form of themes that contributed to degree completion such as helping other veterans/giving back and programmatic fit. Themes that showed prevalent barriers to degree completion included professional identity development, military students and degree completion, environmental factors, and access to military counselors. The implications of this study for social change include supporting academic institutions in reducing the attrition rates of military CES students.

Farber, Nancy Karen. "Counseling psychology doctoral students' help seeking behavior : factors affecting willingness to seek help for psychological problems." Virtual Press, 1999. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1137595.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify factors that may affect counseling psychology doctoral students' tendencies to seek professional psychological help for their personal problems. The study had the following specific goals: (a) to identify psychology students' reasons for seeking professional help, (b) to identify psychology students' reasons for hesitating to seek professional help, (c) to determine the incidence of personal distress among psychology students, (d) to determine the incidence of professional psychological help seeking, and (e) to begin to examine the impact that training environments have on the development of psychologists' attitudes toward seeking personal psychotherapy.The population of this study was doctoral students in APA-approved programs in Counseling Psychology during their internship phase of training. The sample consisted of 178 pre-doctoral interns. Students were mailed a survey developed by the researcher. The survey instrument consisted of questions about psychological problems experienced and the extent to which students had sought or would seek help for these problems. The survey also addressed students' perceptions about whether or not personal help seeking was advocated in their training programs and extent to which the topic of personal psychotherapy was included in their graduate curriculum.Data were analyzed using a combination of qualitative and quantitative procedures. Grounded theory analysis techniques, frequency distributions and multiple regression analyses were utilized.The study reveals that the decision to seek help is a complex one. While most students had sought or would be willing to seek help in the future, many would hesitate to do so. Conclusions drawn are that psychologists (in training) may prefer to turn to professional help as a last resort, and that there are barriers that prevent trainees from obtaining psychological services including finances, availability of therapists, and concerns about confidentiality. Trainees who have had positive experiences with therapy or who value it for personal or professional growth are more likely to seek help. Trainees who perceive that help seeking is normative among their peers are also more likely to seek help. The topic of "psychologists' seeking help for themselves" is not consistently addressed as a part of counseling psychologists' formal training.

Full text
Abstract:

In past studies regarding student retention researchers have focused primarily on the undergraduate student population, but high attrition rates exist in doctoral students. The purposes of the current mixed-methods sequential explanatory study were to examine the relationship between doctoral student personality types and persistence and to explore doctoral students’ perceptions of the impact of personality types on their persistence. Guided by the theoretical framework of retention and educational psychology theories, the current study was used to examine personality types in doctoral students. The overarching research questions were used to determine whether a significant correlation existed between doctoral students’ personality types and their persistence, and to determine how doctoral students’ perceptions of personality types influenced their academic persistence. A mixed methods sequential explanatory study was conducted, using the correlational and multiple case study designs. In the first phase, 47 participants completed the college persistence questionnaire and the 5-factor model. In the second phase, 11 participants were involved in semistructured interviews. The cross-tabulation with associated chi-square, independent samples t test, and analysis of variance were the statistical tests used. The thematic analysis was used to uncover themes from the interviews. Results indicated a statistically significant relationship between neuroticism and persistence. Within-case analysis showed themes of extraversion and conscientiousness. Cross-case analysis themes included cognitive load, finances, faculty, and support. Recommendation for future practice involves implementing courses that introduce the psychological concepts needed to be successful in doctoral programs.

Full text
Abstract:
Guided by the conceptual framework of self-directed learning and culture, this study investigated the effectiveness of Title IV private, for-profit colleges and universities (FPCUs). Little research has examined this topic, which is problematic considering the disproportionate rate of student loan defaults experienced by Black FPCU borrowers. A phenomenological design was used to explore the meaning of academic achievement for Black doctorate recipients who attained a doctorate in psychology through an FPCU. This study specifically examined how Black students experience the completion of doctoral psychology programs at 2 FPCUs and what factors contributed to these students finishing their degrees. A unique-criterion-purposive sample of 7 Black students who completed doctoral psychology programs at FPCUs within the past 5 years was recruited to participate in telephone interviews. Moustakas' data analysis steps were applied to the data. The results indicated that study participants saw an association between attaining their doctorates in psychology and their self-actualization. They shared the experiences of selecting a suitable FPCU, choosing a specialty area, negotiating transfer credits, completing the doctoral coursework phase, and completing the dissertation phase. Their commitment to achieving self-actualization was a salient experience in finishing their degrees. A core aspect of self-actualization was their cultural knowledge, which helped them to overcome challenges and persevere. However, the results uncovered some insufficiencies in the FPCUs' practices. They have implications for positive social change by highlighting how FPCU academic support services might use cultural knowledge and self-actualization strategies to maximize the successful matriculation of Black students.

Cross, Theodore Martin. "Staying the course| Grit, academic success, and non-traditional doctoral students." Thesis, Pepperdine University, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3587687.

Full text
Abstract:

As higher education changes to reach larger numbers of students via online modalities, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, the issue of student attrition and other measures of student success become increasingly important. While research has focused largely on undergraduate online students, less has been done in the area of online non-traditional doctoral student success, particularly from the student trait perspective. On the trait level, the concept of grit has been identified as an important element of the successful attainment of long-term goals. Earning a doctorate can be classified as a long-term goal; therefore the purpose of this study was to examine the influence of doctoral student grit scores on student success. Success was measured in three ways: (a) in terms of persistence as measured by longevity in the program (the number of courses a student had successfully completed), (b) by examining current student GPA, and (c) by studying whether or not students have reached the critical milestone of successfully defending their dissertation proposal. The results of the study found no significant differences in mean grit scores for first, second, or third year students, nor found differences in mean grit scores for students that had or had not successfully defended their dissertation proposals. However, significant relationships were found between grit and current student GPA, grit and the average number of hours students spent of their program of study weekly, and grit and age. The results of this research are important for informing how doctoral education is structured, which characteristics may help students succeed, as well as providing areas for future research.

Warner, Ryan C. "The Role of Racial Microaggressions, Belongingness, and Coping in African American Psychology Doctoral Students' Well-Being." Thesis, Marquette University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10929372.

Full text
Abstract:

Research has indicated that African American undergraduate students experience racial microaggressions within their university contexts, and these experiences are associated with negative outcomes such as symptoms of depression and anxiety (Cokely, Hall-Clark, & Hicks, 2011; Nadal, 2011; Nadal, et al., 2014). Little is known about the experience of microaggressions and their effects on African American doctoral students, particularly those within the field of psychology. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between racial microaggressions, sense of belonging, coping strategies (problem solving, social support and avoidance), and psychological well-being among African American doctoral students in psychology. Results revealed that every participant had experienced at least one racial microaggression in their doctoral program within the last six months, with the most common types being related to environment and assumptions of inferiority. Contrary to hypotheses, results from a hierarchical multiple regression analyses suggested that racial microaggressions did not significantly predict psychological well-being in this sample. Findings also did not provide evidence for social support, problem solving, avoidance, or sense of belonging as moderators for the negative impact of microaggressions. Overall, the results of this study suggest that African American doctoral students in psychology experience racial microaggressions, but questions remain about the effects of these experiences on psychological well-being. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

Abstract:
This exploratory research investigates the factors that might influence a specific group of users’ mental models of a Web search engine, Google, as measured in the dimension of completeness. A modified mental model completeness scale (MMCS) was developed based on Borgman’s, Dimitroff s, and Saxon’s models, encompassing the perception of (1) the nature of the Web search engine, (2) searching features of the Web search engine, and (3) the interaction between the searcher and the Web search engine. With this scale, a participant’s mental model completeness level was determined by how many components of the first two parts of the scale were described and which level of interaction between the participant and Google was revealed during the searches. The choice of the factors was based on the previous studies on individual differences among information seekers, including user’s search experience, cognitive style, learning style, technical aptitudes, training received, discipline, and gender. Sixteen Ph.D. students whose first language is English participated in the research. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted to determine the students’ mental model completeness level (MMCL) as well as their search experience, training received, discipline and gender. Direct observation technique was employed to observe students’ actual interactions with Google. Standard tests were administered to determine the students’ cognitive styles, learning styles and technical aptitudes.
Cette recherche préliminaire examine les facteurs qui peuvent influencer les modèles mentaux d’un groupe spécifique d’utilisateurs d’un moteur de recherche sur le Web: Google, mesurés selon l’étendue de leur réussite.Une échelle de cette réussite en suivant un modèle mental a été constituée en adaptant les modèles présentés par Borgman, Dimitroff et Saxon, incluant la perception (1) de la nature du moteur de recherche sur le Web, (2) des caractéristiques de la recherche propres à ce moteur, (3) de l’interaction entre le chercheur et le moteur de recherche. A l’aide de cette échelle, le niveau de réussite par un sujet donné utilisant un modèle mental a été déterminé en fonction du nombre de composantes des deux premières parties de l’échelle décrites et du niveau d’interaction entre le sujet et le moteur Google, tel que révélé par ses recherches. Le choix des facteurs a été fondé sur des études précédentes portant sur les différences individuelles entre les chercheurs d’information, comprenant le degré d’expérience d’une telle recherche par l’utilisateur, son style cognitif, son style d’apprentissage, ses aptitudes techniques, la formation reçue, la discipline et le sexe. Seize étudiants en doctorat ayant l’anglais comme première langue ont participé à cette étude. Des entretiens individuels semi-dirigés ont permis de déterminer le niveau de réussite des étudiants suivant leur modèle mental, ainsi que leur expérience de la recherche, la formation reçue, la discipline et le sexe. Une observation technique directe a été utilisée pour observer l’interaction réelle des étudiants avec Google. Des tests standardisés ont été administrés pour déterminer le style cognitif des étudiants, leur style d’apprentissage et leurs aptitudes techniques. fr

Ayala, Erin. "Does self-care moderate the relation of stress to quality of life of female doctoral students in professional psychology?" Thesis, State University of New York at Albany, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3685832.

Full text
Abstract:

Increasing numbers of women are pursuing doctoral degrees in psychology, and the stress of being a female doctoral student can create a risk for aversive consequences (e.g., ineffective clinical work, impaired competence). Psychologists lack an understanding of the extent to which women can protect themselves from undue stress in professional psychology programs by engaging in self-care. The lack of a comprehensive framework for this phenomenon calls for the need to apply and test the Health Promotion Model to the experience of women in professional psychology programs. The current investigation assessed the extent to which self-care activities would moderate the negative association between stress and quality of life in a sample of five hundred and fifty eight women from clinical, counseling, and school psychology programs throughout the U.S. Norm comparison tests indicated that women in the sample reported significantly more stress, significantly less self-care, a significantly higher self-reported physical quality of life, and a significantly lower self-reported psychological, environmental, and social quality of life in comparison to previous samples. Multivariate multiple regression analyses did not support the moderation hypothesis, in that the interaction between self-care and stress did not contribute significantly to quality of life. On the other hand, self-reported stress was significantly negatively associated with quality of life and there was a significant (though relatively small) main effect of stress on quality of life. These results suggest that stress may supersede the self-care efforts in maintaining or improving an individual's quality of life. Implications for theory, practice, and research are discussed in addition to strengths and limitations of the study.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose ofthis qualitative, multi-case, and longitudinal study was to examine how doctoral students’ experiences of the doctorate influence their emerging academic identities. The development of academic identities is often alluded to in higher education research as the heart of the doctoral pursuit. There is, however, little information on how the activities of the doctorate, particularly everyday student experiences, contribute to the emergence of academic identities. The guiding framework for this study was a social-psychological role identity perspective, blended with elements of Activity Theory. Through this combined view, identity is constructed through and embedded in interpersonal relationships, with identity emerging as a property of interactions with others. Data for the study were collected over a two year period. Nine Education doctoral students participated by tracking their experiences for a particular week every month across four academic semesters (15 months) and then discussed these in interviews at the end of each year. These students were selected from a larger sample based on their explicit aim to pursue academic careers upon completion of their degrees. [...]
Cette étude de cas multiples, à la fois qualitative et longitudinale, a permis d’examiner chez des doctorants comment l’expérience au quotidien de leur programme d’études influençait l’émergence d’une identité universitaire. Dans le domaine des recherches portant sur l’enseignement supérieur, on réfère souvent au développement d’une identité universitaire comme étant au coeur même de l’expérience doctorale. Il existe toutefois peu d’informations qui précisent comment les activités inhérentes au doctorat, notamment les expériences vécues au quotidien par les doctorants, contribuent à l’émergence de cette identité universitaire. Le cadre d’analyse de cette recherche s’est élaboré autour d’une perspective socio-psychologique du rôle identitaire amalgamée avec des éléments de la théorie de l’activité humaine. Examinée de ce double point de vue, l’identité se construit au fil des relations interpersonnelles et s’y intègre. L’identité se révèle ainsi comme une propriété des relations avec les autres personnes. Les données de cette étude ont été amassées sur une période de deux ans. Chaque mois, l’expérience quotidienne de neuf doctorants en éducation était documentée pendant une semaine complète. À la fin de chaque année scolaire, ces expériences ont été discutées dans le cadre d’entrevues. Ces doctorants ont été sélectionnés à partir d’un échantillon plus large d’étudiants au doctorat en raison de leur intention explicite de s’engager dans une carrière universitaire à la fin de leur programme d’études.

Abstract:
This study investigated the academic adaptation of five Mainland Chinese doctoral students in the Faculty of Education at McGill University, Quebec, Canada. Using individual interviewing as the primary research method, the study revealed 12 major challenge areas, i.e., English as a second language, financial difficulties, outsider feelings, worries about career paths, course work, research network, TA/RA experiences, differences between doctoral and master's studies, isolation, pace of the PhD, motherhood and doctoral study, and adjusting research directions. Through comparing the findings with the literature and the data from secondary sources, this study concluded that the academic adaptation of Mainland Chinese doctoral students in Canada is a process in which cross-cultural adaptation intertwines with disciplinary socialization. The study contributes to literature by (1) documenting an under-researched group---PhD students in education from Mainland China in Canada; and (2) looking at academic adaptation through two lenses: cross-cultural adaptation and disciplinary socialization.

Over 200 PhD candidates participated in the study by providing data over a six month period using a custom-built Internet-interfaced database. Each candidate completed a self-concept test both at the beginning and again at the end of this period. In between, they completed an 'e-diary' in which they recorded data about every feedback interaction that they experienced over the six months. From the data collected, the Researcher developed a model showing how feedback is processed and the effect that this process has on PhD candidates.

Find full text
Abstract:
This study investigated adolescent stress, problems, and coping strategies, preceding and following the implementation of a new tertiary entrance system in Queensland, Australia. Data were collected in 1988 from 1664 students (Ss) attending seven secondary schools (three state high schools, two Catholic schools, and two independent schools) in South-East Queensland, and in 1993 from an additional 1620 Ss from six of these same schools. (One of the state high schools did not participate on the second occasion.) In 1993, the views of 178 secondary teachers (Ts) on adolescent stress were also obtained, with Ts from the same six schools as the 1993 Ss agreeing to participate, and a further 59 secondary Ts who were part-time students at Queensland University of Technology also participating. A further extension in the 1993 part of the study was an investigation of the relationships between self-esteem and adolescent stress, problems, and coping strategies. The theoretical underpinnings of the study were provided through the development of an eclectic perspective on stress in which common links were established among such apparently divergent orientations as Selye's (1956) physiologically-based theory, the attributional theories of Bandura (1977), Rotter (1966), and de Charms (1968), and the transactional theories of Holmes and Rahe (1967), Lazarus (1966), Friedman and Rosenman (1974), and Kobasa (1979). The study also sought to respond to the expanding overseas and Australian literature which seemed to be pointing to increasing stress levels among many adolescents, particularly in the context of the school. Instruments used during data collection included the 68-item Australian Adolescent Problems Inventory (AAPI), the 54-item Adolescent Coping Inventory (ACI), the 12-item Self-Esteem Scale (SES), the 8-item Tertiary Entrance Questionnaire (TEQ), and Goldberg's (1972) 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). The AAPI, SES, and TEQ were especially developed for the study, while the ACI was adapted from Patterson and McCubbin's (1987) Adolescent Coping Orientation for Problem Experiences (A-COPE). Following data collection, the AAP1 and the ACI were refined using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The revised problems instrument (the AAPl-R) contained 35 items and 9 subscales, while the revised coping instrument (the ACl-R) contained 26 items and 10 subscales. In addition to the CFAs, the data were analysed using simple descriptive statistics, MANOVAs, ANOVAs, t-tests, and correlational analyses. Major findings included: close similarities between 1993 and 1988 in Ss' stress levels, identification of their biggest and smallest problems, and identification of their most used and least used coping strategies; a substantial inverse relationship between self-esteem and stress; and a considerable amount of incongruence between the responses of Ss and Ts, with the Ts attributing to their students greater stress, greater intensity in their problems, and lower self-esteem than the Ss attributed to themselves, and the Ts also projecting a less positive view of adolescent coping strategies than did the Ss. In both 1988 and 1993, female Ss had significantly higher GHQ scores than male Ss, GHQ means generally increased as year levels increased, there was generally an inverse relationship between ability levels and GHQ scores, and Ss at private schools had significantly higher GHQ scores than Ss at state schools. Self esteem scores, measured only in 1993, were significantly higher among male Ss than among female Ss, among younger Ss than among older Ss, and among more able Ss than among less able Ss. In response to the literature suggesting increasing levels in adolescent stress, the present study provided little evidence for such increases, but it did support the view that stress among Queensland secondary students continues to be an important area of concern, with Ss' problems and stress levels in 1993 being comparable to what they had been prior to the implementation of the new tertiary entrance system. In addressing the educational implications of the above results, attention was given to ways of making schooling less stressful for adolescents, changes in teachers' behaviour which might help to reduce student stress, and ways of enhancing students' coping abilities. Suggestions included the pursuit of viable alternatives to the competitive academic curriculum that continues to dominate Queensland secondary education under the new tertiary entrance system, the encouragement of teachers to practice good interpersonal skills, and the suggestion that an appropriate stress management program for students could be based on the eclectic conceptualization of stress developed in Chapter 2. It was argued that self-esteem building, and the development of such positive coping orientations as hardiness, self-efficacy, internal locus of control, seeking social support, and developing good interpersonal skills would help to alleviate student stress.

Abstract:
This study sought to determine the extent a relationship exists between locus of control and the rate of completion for proposal and dissertation defense among doctoral students. Levenson's Internal, Powerful Others, and Chance scales were utilized to identify locus of control orientation. Findings indicated that: (1) a majority, 102, scored highest on the Internal scale; (2) Internal scale scores above the median related to increased probability of a proposal and dissertation defense and to reduced time in reaching those points; (3) no significant difference was found between male and female defensive externals in completing the proposal or dissertation defense; and (4) females tended to score higher than males on the Internal scale. Among conclusions drawn are: (1) Internal scale scores above the median relate to a reduced length of time to complete the proposal and dissertation defense; and (2) few doctoral candidates scoring higher on the Powerful Others or Chance scales were identified in this doctoral program after the point of qualifying examinations.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether differences exist between characteristics and attitudes of graduates and those of non-graduates of doctoral programs in education. The subjects were the 256 students who had successfully completed the qualifying examinations in the College of Education at North Texas State University during the years of 1978 through 1980. Although the data findings from this study are too numerous to list within the restrictions of this abstract, the most notable findings include that (1) 74.2 per cent had graduated; (2) graduates were more likely to have selected the dissertation topic before the qualifying examinations; (3) graduates rated personal motivation higher than did non-graduates; and (4) there were no significant differences in Graduate Record Examination scores (verbal, quantitative, or total) between graduates and non-graduates. Among the conclusions drawn from this study are that (1) the process of going through a doctoral program discourages the less serious students before they reach the qualifying examinations and (2) graduates have high personal motivation and receive high support for dissertation efforts from many segments of life (spouse, family, friends, major professor, and doctoral committee). The recommendations drawn from this study are for (1) further research into the personal motivation of the candidate, (2) further research as to the effect of the candidate's attitudes toward and grades for courses in research and statistics, (3) universities to maintain records that allow for determination of completion rates of doctoral students and to consider these rates in the evaluation of doctoral programs, and (4) graduate faculty to encourage doctoral students to give serious consideration to possible dissertation topics early in their graduate programs.

Abstract:
There is a lack of research on the academic resilience of minority, first-generation, online doctoral students (MFOD) who experienced poverty and parental substance abuse (PSA). The purpose of this study was to explore how MFOD who overcame poverty and PSA developed academic resilience. Resilience theory and Kember's model of attrition in online programs provided a conceptual framework for this study. The research questions guiding this qualitative study concerned how MFOD perceive and interpret their academic resilience and protective factors. A purposeful sample of 6 students participated in semistructured interviews. An interpretative phenomenological analysis was conducted, which included a case by case analysis, and a cross-case analysis. Results indicate that academic resilience is perceived as (a) determination, (b) evolving realization of the value of education, (c) paving the way for others, and (d) leveraging strengths to succeed in an online doctoral program. Protective factors are perceived as (a) resilience in adversity, (b) mindset about school, (c) identity resilience, and (d) transformational experiences. The results of this study reveal that the participants learned to see themselves beyond the context of their immediate environments. Positive social change implications include improving existing social policy to aggressively target high-poverty school districts and communities with PSA. More specifically, at-risk minority students would benefit from targeted interventions focused on family engagement in education and school retention.

Full text
Abstract:
The purposes of this study were: 1) to better understand the doctoral experience as participants described the meanings they gave to their experiences, and 2) to increase understanding about the ways in which the meanings attributed to their doctoral experiences enhance our understanding of doctoral persistence and attrition. The descriptions of the behavior of the selected doctoral students interviewed may help current and future doctoral students, university administrators, and faculty in the common goal of having more scholars complete their dissertations. This study contains rich descriptions of the experiences of nine purposively selected doctoral students in Adult, Higher, and Community Education at a Midwestern university who have completed their doctoral coursework and their comprehensive examinations. All participants were in the all but dissertation (ABD) status at the start of the study. Four participants graduated with the doctorate after the evidence was gathered for this study. One participant remains as an ABD in two doctoral programs. The two interviews with each of the nine participants were semi-structured. They generated evidence that answered the research questions, but also generated additional descriptions of behavior over the entire time period of the participants' doctoral programs. These additional descriptions provided a greater richness to this study.This research study was guided by several research questions. The primary question was:What behaviors filled the three years following the completion of the course requirements and comprehensive examinations for the doctoral degree other than completion of a dissertation? The secondary questions were:What decisions accompanied these behaviors? What rewards were gained by completing the course requirements? A systematic phenomenological analysis identified three major themes: 1) "The value of the doctorate program and degree", 2) "The doctoral experience", and 3) "Facilitators, barriers, and distracters". The three themes each had sub-themes.Six recommendations were provided for facilitating the completion of the doctoral degree. Each study participant is a highly successful individual. Each agreed that this doctoral program has been a tremendous help professionally and personally. None are to be considered failures even if they remain an ABD.

Abstract:
This research explored the effectiveness of various teaching strategies used for introducing early algebraic concepts. The research focused on investigating three approaches commonly used for introducing the concept of a variable, namely, generalising from tables of data, generalising from visual patterns, and establishing the links between algebra the structural aspects of the number system. The research also identified specific reasoning processes that interact with these strategies. The research incorporated two investigations, an introductory and main study. One hundred and sixteen students participated in the introductory study and 379 students participated in the main study. The age of the students ranged from 12 years 6 months to 15 years and 10 months. The introductory study incorporated the development and trialing tests used for measuring students' reasoning processes, their preference for a visual or symbolic approach to solution, and their understanding of pre-algebra and early algebra ideas. These tests were reformulated for the main study. An analysis of the students' responses indicated a number of areas where more in-depth information would help identify the ways in which students reflected on basic algebraic concepts. Forty one students were selected for a semi-structured interview. The research employed a multiple measurement approach. The first stage consisted of a correlational analysis. This analysis teased out the relationships among the three written test. The next stage in the study entailed the use of a semi-structured interview. This phase was considered an important part of the methodology as it provided insights into the ways students think, and enabled clarification, extension, and interpretations of the information recorded in the written responses. Implications for further research, for classroom teaching, and for curriculum development for introducing the concept of a variable are discussed.

Ph.D.
There is a paucity of adult professional education literature, yet there are multiple theories and models from which to extrapolate information regarding learning in this population, including self-regulated learning theory and adult learning models. The first aim of this study was to explore these bodies of literature and provide a compelling argument for how these theories and models may be considered relative to each other. The second aim of this study was to provide empirical support for the theoretical framework within the professional education population, specifically for Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students. Participants included 232 DPT students from a large, research-intensive university in the mid-Atlantic region. The Self-directed Learning Readiness Survey for Nursing Education (SDLRSNE) (Fisher, King, & Tague, 2001) was administered to five cohorts of students seven times throughout the duration of the DPT program. T-tests and ANOVAs were conducted to determine cohort differences. The data were collapsed across time in order to generate longitudinal growth curve models. Results revealed that the SDLRSNE is an internally consistent tool to utilize with DPT students and that the majority of DPT students were self-regulated learners. Results from the growth curve models indicated that self-regulated learning increased across time, was discontinuous within the DPT program, and that participation in clinical education experiences coincided with the change in slope of the model that best fit the data. Additionally, results indicated that the age of a student (traditional: age 19-24 versus nontraditional: age 25+) significantly predicted Desire For Learning subscale scores.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates a proposition that students learning from computer assisted learning (CAL) programs will be constrained to surface processing of information unless generative learning strategies are incorporated into the CAL program design. The specific generative learning recommended in the proposition include summarising, outlining, analysis of key ideas, and cognitive mapping. Studies of student learning in tertiary education reveal that surface learning is not conducive to academic success, and that deep learning is more effective. As very few CAL programs use generative learning strategies, the suggestion that students will be prevented from deep learning by CAL design is important if CAL programs are to be used in tertiary education. Two cohorts of students for whom the use of a CAL program was a part of their course unit requirements were studied to evaluate the depth of their consequent learning. No experimental controls were applied, so that the students' use of the CAL program could be observed within their normal learning environment. Neither program incorporated generative learning strategies into the program design. All research instruments used were external to the CAL programs to provide an independent perspective on the learning outcome. The Structure of Observed Leaming Outcomes (SOLO) taxonomy was applied to open-ended questions on the topics of the CAL programs to assess depth of learning. Performance as assessesd by SOLO scores was compared with the students' habitual approach to learning as indicated by the Study Process Questionnaire (SPQ) to assess the effect of the CAL program on the students' normal approaches to learning. Comparison between SPQ and SOLO scores indicated that many students did not perform in accordance with their habitual approach as indicated by the SPQ. To clarify the influence of the CAL program on performance, questions were developed to evaluate the students' use of the programs. These were administered by interview or by a questionnaire. These data were subjected to a thematic content analysis. The findings revealed that many of the students who had confidence in the CAL program performed at a deep level despite the lack of generative learning strategies in the program, and that the implementation of the programs is a major influence on student performance. Students who saw the program as an information source rather than as an interactive learning opportunity did not perform at a deep level, and students who could not see the reason for using the program performed poorly. Recommendations for CAL design include the need for designers to provide guidance for students to encourage a strategic approach to using the CAL program, and a cognitive approach to the implementation of CAL programs.

Full text
Abstract:
Nous posons deux questions : quels sont les facteurs qui influencent l’engagement de chercheurs dans la vulgarisation ? quels effets, pour lui-même, un chercheur peut-il tirer de la vulgarisation ? Après un historique synthétique brossant différents paradigmes de la communication publique des sciences, nous explorons 20 enquêtes réalisées entre 1967 et 2014. Celles-ci interrogent les chercheurs. Nous les critiquons une à une et dégageons certaines tendances. La vulgarisation a globalement « bonne presse » et l’engagement des chercheurs semble faible mais robuste. Les études de type « enquête d’opinion » tendent à laisser déclarer le diagnostic et les préconisations aux chercheurs eux-mêmes, d’autres utilisent des modèles théoriques, moins déclaratifs, et des divergences apparaissent autour l’influence du « regard des autres » notamment. La question des effets n’est pas analysée. Pour explorer plus avant nos deux questions, nous utilisons deux démarches. D’une part adapter un modèle théorique, la théorie du comportement planifié, au corpus des doctorants de l’université de Bourgogne ; d’autre part, profiter de mon expérience de responsable de l’Experimentarium, programme de vulgarisation qui, depuis 17 ans, engage des doctorants. L’enquête utilisant la théorie du comportement planifié détermine des facteurs d’engagement principaux : le comportement passé, l’attitude envers la vulgarisation, l’avis des collègues. Au-delà de tendances générales, des analyses multifactorielles permettent de mieux cerner, au cas par cas, les facteurs qui influencent l’engagement de chacun. Chaque doctorant a une histoire. L’observation de l’Experimentarium appuie l’influence de l’attitude, du plaisir à vulgariser, ainsi que l’importance de la socialisation conséquente de certaines actions de vulgarisation. Ces critères sont à la fois facteurs d’engagement et effets pour le chercheur. L’importance de « prendre soin » des doctorants vulgarisateurs est soutenue. Elle conduit à une dynamique réconfort - remotivation pour la recherche. L’action réjouissante menée avec des pairs (à qui on peut parler), l’encouragement du public, l’acquisition d’aptitudes pour mieux s’exprimer et cerner son sujet contribuent à « faire exister » le vécu du chercheur et à le dynamiser dans son travail scientifique. Plus généralement, certaines actions de vulgarisation gonflent la pratique scientifique de sens. In fine, nous proposons un schéma définissant trois postures communicationnelles, basées sur des « pelures d’identité » : le soi, le chercheur, le présentateur. Ce schéma explique des effets potentiels en fonction de situations de vulgarisation. Les dynamiques de communication sont causes et conséquences d’ajustements sur ces postures et de la porosité de ces pelures d’identité. Cette schématisation conduit à aborder le concept de réflexivité, constitutif de situations de vulgarisation et qui peut provoquer certains effets sur le chercheur. Ces réflexions invitent à penser la vulgarisation, non comme une tâche ou un devoir à remplir, mais comme une situation qui – si elle est préparée, observée, ajustée et donc réflexive – peut être source d’émancipation pour le public, mais également pour le chercheur
We examine two questions: what factors influence the engagement of researchers in public engagement activities ? what effects, for himself, can a researcher derive from popularization (or public communication of sciences and technologies : PCST)? After a synthetic history brushing different paradigms of the PCST, we investigate 20 studies carried out between 1967 and 2014. These interrogate the researchers. We criticize them one by one and clear some trends. PCST has generally "good press" and the commitment of researchers seems weak but robust. Opinion-type studies tend to allow the diagnosis and recommendations to be declared to the researchers themselves, others use less declarative theoretical models, and divergences appear around the influence of the "gaze of others" especially. The question of effects is not analyzed. To explore our two questions further, we use two approaches. On the one hand adapting a theoretical model, the theory of planned behavior, to the corpus of PhD students of the University of Burgundy; on the other hand, to take advantage of my experience as head of the Experimentarium, an extension program which, for 17 years, has been hiring doctoral students. The survey using the theory of planned behavior determines the main factors of engagement: past behavior, attitude towards extension, the opinion of colleagues. Beyond general trends, multifactorial analyzes make it possible to better identify, on a case by case basis, the factors that influence the commitment of each one.Each doctoral student has its own history. The observation of the Experimentarium supports the influence of attitude, pleasure to popularize, as well as the importance of the consequent socialization of actions of popularisation. These criteria are both factors of commitment and effects for the researcher. ...These reflections invite thinking about popularisation, not as a task or a duty to be fulfilled, but as a situation which - if prepared, observed, adjusted and therefore reflexive - can be a source of emancipation for the public but also for the searcher

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to gather more information about the process of internationalization in U.S. counseling psychology programs. Participants included 26 training directors and 83 doctoral students, representing 32 of the 63 APA-accredited, active counseling psychology doctoral programs. Results suggested that the presence of international learning opportunities did not increase from 2007 to 2010, with the exception that internationalism was increasingly being incorporated into the definition of multiculturalism. Results also suggested that training directors perceived opportunities to gain international experience in their programs integrated to a greater extent compared to their doctoral students. Doctoral students, however, perceived greater institutional commitment to international learning opportunities compared to their training directors. Finally, results suggested that both sets of respondents’ attitudes were generally favorable toward internationalization. Implications for counseling psychology training programs, as well as recommendations for improving internationalization efforts are discussed.

Abstract:
While the literature on the experiences of women in academe generaly, is growing, the experiences of women student mothers in post-secondary education are rarely explored. Given the increasing number of women students enroling in university and the fact that the student population is aging, there is a greater likelihood of these students being mothers. A study of these women is timely and crucial to understanding their needs and chalenges within the university. The purpose of the research was to examine the experiences of doctoral student mothers living at the intersection of studenthood and motherhood as it was expected that the demands from the family and university would create specific chalenges. The study delineates the women's understanding of and the degree to which they accepted the dominant North American ideology of intensive mothering and the ideology of the good student. Further, the study sought to ascertain whether the student mothers experienced contradiction between the two ideologies similar to that experienced by the women in Hay's (1996) study of employed and stay-at-home mothers. The study utilizes the concept of the public/private dichotomy and the notions of greedy institutions and competing urgencies in its framework. The design consisted of in-depth semi-structured interviews with seventeen mothers at various stages in their doctoral programme. The women range in age from thirty-three to forty-seven and have at least one child, under age of thirteen, living with them full-time. Findings noted that the women were able to articulate the dominant definitions of the good mother and the good student but, for the most part, they rejected them. They preferred to be balanced both as mothers and as students, although almost all of them insisted their children were their first priority. The women experienced a contradiction between the two ideologies and, using the concept of ideological work developed by Berger (1981), their experiences were explored. The women engaged in ideological work to support their alternative definitions of the good mother and the good student. When they were not as able to sustain their ideological work they tended to revert to the dominant definitions.

Abstract:
abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore the lived experiences of African American women in pursuit of doctoral degrees in the southwest, their challenges and motivations, and plans for the their next chapter. Drawing from critical race theory and a sociocultural framework, this qualitative study uses Dan McAdams' Life Story Interview (McAdams, 2005) to explore the journeys of these high achieving minority women and how achievement is conceptualized in their stories. Particular emphasis is placed on their critical events, challenges, and alternative futures. Seven separate themes (parental support and advocacy in early education, improved experiences among other African American students, perseverance through struggles/experiences led to purpose, poor department support, family support, impact of spirituality, and relocation and desire to give back) emerged that address three main research questions. Implications for findings and suggestions for future research are offered.

Abstract:
Although undertaking a PhD provides great opportunities for intellectual challenges and benefits, students also experience high levels of stress and attrition within the degree. It is therefore important to better understand the needs of students and how to support them in order to improve their experience, increase well-being, and support better academic outcomes. This research conducted two studies: the first explores what supports and hinders the well-being and academic functioning of PhD students at one Victorian university; and the second—because stress is a large feature of PhD students’ lives—examines the potential of a brief mindfulness-based intervention (brief MBI) to provide benefits to students. This intervention is a modified and substantially shorter version of the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program which was shortened from 8 weeks (27 hours) to 4 weeks (6 hours). This research used constructivist grounded theory as the strategy of inquiry and in-depth semi-structured interviews to achieve the aim of exploring subjective experiences, with participants interviewed at both one and four months post-intervention. Overall, Study 1 found that the needs of PhD students are best understood through an ecological perspective, that is, that the areas important to their well-being and academic functioning fall within and across individual, interpersonal, institutional, and structural, material, and social levels. Included in these areas are the needs for personal and academic growth, personal and academic competence, rest and rejuvenation, social and intellectual integration, and material and cohort specific supports. Further, achieving a balance across these areas of well-being and academic functioning represents an ideal student experience which promotes higher levels of satisfaction. Study 2 found that the brief MBI provided some benefits to these students including stress reduction, increased positive affect, and improved academic functioning at the one month interview. However, at four months, many of these benefits were not sustained and only a few participants continued to practise techniques from the program. A brief MBI, therefore, has some value in supporting students but requires further modifications to sustain benefits and be of greater help to this population.

"Different Concerns for Different Careers: Doctoral Student Career Trajectories Toward and Away from the Research Professorship." Doctoral diss., 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.49427.

Full text
Abstract:
abstract: Research has revealed that familial concerns and obligations do impact the career decision making of people who shift their career goal away from the research academy and towards careers that are perceived as less intensive in terms of time and productivity demands. However, this same research line does not explain whether or not those who persist in a research professorship career aspiration experience the same familial concerns and obligations as those who shift or compromise on that goal. In line with the theory of circumscription and compromise (TCC), the current study examined specific accessibility concerns, or perceptions of barriers associated with implementing a preferred career, that contribute to doctoral student career decision making. More specifically, two groups including those who shifted their career path away from the research professorship (compromisers) and those whose career paths remain geared towards the research professorship (persisters) were examined by multivariate analysis of variance with a covariate (MANCOVA) to determine how accessibility concerns differ according to group membership. Accessibility concerns were also examined for gender differences. Results from multivariate and between-subjects follow up tests point to significant differences between the two groups on two accessibility concerns, planning for a career and family and some components of work-time flexibility preferences. Compromisers reported significantly higher preferences for work-time flexibility and scored higher on the planning for a career and a family measure when compared to persisters. No gender differences in accessibility concerns were found but female persisters were less likely than male persisters to indicate plans for children/presence of children. This study provides support for the TCC as applied to doctoral student career development and provides evidence that doctoral student persisters and compromisers do not experience accessibility concerns in the same way.
