Book Stress Among Clinical Psychology Doctoral Students

Download or read book Stress Among Clinical Psychology Doctoral Students written by Narjis Fatima Hyder and published by Author House. This book was released on 2006-01-27 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pressures of attaining a doctoral education among university students are well known. This dissertation examines the experience and reality of doctoral psychology students' perceived stress levels among specific years of a clinical psychology five-year doctoral program at one university. The purpose of this quantitative study is to investigate any differences of student's perceived stress and sample characteristics experienced by year in the clinical doctoral psychology program. The amount of perceived stress a psychology doctoral student experiences may depend on differing variables. Psychosocial factors such as education, work, family, and relationships can detract from or contribute to the presence of either positive or negative stress during these years. Factors that may cause distress may also cause eustress. Doctoral students' response to stressors may impact physiological, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions. A critical issue concerning stress among doctoral students is its effect on learning and whether students will complete their doctoral program. The goal of this study is to increase knowledge of doctoral students' quality of life during the doctoral process and determine the impact of stress on academic achievement. The findings of this study show that there is no relationship between a set of demographic predictor variables (gender, age, marital/parental status, and year in doctoral program) and the level of stress due to academic concerns, family/financial concerns, or environmental concerns for doctoral students, however, a significant relationship was found between these same predictor variables and level of stress as measured by the Demand and Coping Scale. This study's results may contribute to greater understanding and support from program faculty, and help doctoral students set realistic priorities for balancing study, work and family, and reduce doctoral program attrition rates.

Book Educating Across Difference

Download or read book Educating Across Difference written by Rachel Ann Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on Tinto's (1975, 1987, 1993) interactionalist model of student attrition, this survey study examined students' cultural differences from dominant graduate communities, integration in graduate programs, and attitudes towards educational persistence. Cultural differences were assessed by a measure of cumulative diversity, which summed students' number of memberships across traditionally underrepresented demographic groups. Integration was assessed by measures of advisor/mentor satisfaction and sense of community in the graduate program. Data from 330 doctoral students in APA-accredited clinical psychology programs showed that cumulative diversity had different effects by sex. Whereas cumulative diversity was unrelated to integration or persistence-related attitudes for women, it was related to less favorable integration and persistence-related attitudes for men. Integration, particularly sense of program community, was an important predictor of persistence-related attitudes for both genders. Sense of program community mediated the relationship between cumulative diversity and persistence-related attitudes for men only. Implications for student retention are discussed.

Download or read book Academic Recovery written by Michael T. Dial and published by The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience. This book was released on 2022-10-19 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research suggests that as many as a quarter of all undergraduate students may find themselves on academic probation during their collegiate years. If students on probation choose to return to their institutions the semester following notification, they find themselves in a unique transitional period between poor academic performance and either dismissal or recovery. Effectively supporting students through this transition may help to decrease equity gaps in higher education. As recent literature implies, the same demographic factors that affect students’ retention and persistence rates (e.g., gender, race and ethnicity, age) also affect the rate at which students find themselves on academic probation. This book serves as a resource for practitioners and institutional leaders. The volume presents a variety of interventions and institutional strategies for supporting the developmental and emotional needs of students on probation in the first year and beyond. The chapters in this book are the result of years of dedication and passion for supporting students on probation by the individual chapter authors. While the chapters reflect a culmination of combined decades of personal experiences and education, collectively they amount to the beginning of a conversation long past due. Scholarship on the impact of academic recovery models on student success and persistence is limited. Historically, attention and resources have been directed toward establishing and strengthening the first-year experience, sophomore programs, and student-success efforts to prevent students from ending up on academic probation. However, a focus on preventative measures without a consideration of academic recovery program design considering the successes of these programs is futile. This volume should be of interest to academics and practitioners focused on creating or refining institutional policies and interventions for students on academic probation. The aim is to provide readers with the language, tools, and theoretical points of view to advocate for and to design, reform, and/or execute high-quality, integrated academic recovery programs on campus. Historically, students on probation have been an understudied and underserved population, and this volume serves as a call to action.
