If you’re looking for dissertations and theses by students of The Claremont Colleges, you have several options:

• Search the ProQuest database Dissertations and Theses Global
• Search our open access institutional repository, Scholarship@Claremont
• Explore Library Search for print copies held at The Claremont Colleges Library
• Contact Special Collections for archived print copies of Claremont Graduate University dissertations (2011 and prior)

If none of the above options have the thesis/dissertation you are looking for, we suggest contacting the academic department or program that issued the work as some departments keep their own copies of dissertations. You can also Contact a Librarian .

More dissertations, including those from Claremont Graduate University and from students outside of The Claremont Colleges, can be found in the ProQuest database Dissertations and Theses , which has more than one million dissertations and theses from academic institutions in the US, Canada, Great Britain, and Europe. Please note that if you do not have institutional access to this database there may be a cost associated with obtaining a copy of a dissertation or theses.

S@C is not connected to Proquest Dissertations & Theses database . Submitting your dissertation to ProQuest is a separate process from submitting to S@C.

Benefits of uploading to ProQuest

• Collocates many (but not all) dissertations from many (but not all) universities into one searchable system; this makes discovery of dissertations much easier.
• Shares metadata with major subject databases expanding the discoverability of your dissertation (MLA, PsycInfo, ERIC, etc.).
• Preserves submissions on microfilm, which helps to ensure long-term availability and preservation of dissertations.

Potential concerns about uploading to ProQuest

• While ProQuest gives authors small royalties from each dissertation sale, it keeps the majority of the profits for itself.
• If you only submit to ProQuest and not to Scholarship@Claremont, you will be limiting access to those who are affiliated with an institution that subscribes to the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses database or can afford to purchase a copy of the work from ProQuest.

The doctoral program in Psychology prepares students for scholarly careers and for leadership roles in a variety of organizations. Study is organized around six defined major areas:

• Applied Cognitive Psychology
• Applied Social Psychology
• Evaluation and Applied Research Methods
• Organizational Behavior
• Positive Developmental Psychology
• Positive Organizational Psychology

Program Requirement

All students are expected to be engaged in a research project each semester. In addition, students are expected to regularly attend colloquia and research discussion groups as part of their education.

Degree Requirements

Coursework.   A minimum 72 units is required for the degree. 

Required Courses.   All graduate students must meet the following course requirements and pass these courses with a grade of B- or better.

• Research Methods (PSYCH 302 - 4 units).   Students who have taken a comparable graduate level course should consult with the instructor about a waiver examination.
• Statistics Sequence (PSYCH 308a,b,c,d - 2 units each).   Students who have taken comparable statistics courses may consider taking the waiver examination given at the beginning of the semester. Courses from other institutions cannot be considered for transfer credit unless the waiver examination is passed and grades in the comparable course(s) were B- or better.
• Methodology (PSYCH 315)(2-4 units each).   A minimum of four units of methodology courses are required beyond PSYCH 302. Any courses from the PSYCH 315 series will meet this requirement.

The University’s policies on Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)    and transfer credit    apply.

Core Courses.   Within the first three years of beginning their graduate study, students must take and pass two or more qualifying core courses in their area of concentration. Credit for qualifying examinations requires a grade of B- or better in core courses, and grades of Incomplete are not given.

• Applied Cognitive Core Courses (12 units)
• Applied Social Core Courses (20 units)
• Evaluation Core Courses (14 units)
• Organizational Behavior Core Courses (16 units)
• Positive Developmental Core Courses (20 units)
• Positive Organizational Core Courses (20 units)

Transdisciplinary Studies Course.   All PhD students are required to enroll in a transdisciplinary core course from Claremont Graduate University’s “TNDY” course sequence. This requirement needs to be completed within the first two years of coursework.

Master’s Project.   All doctoral students in the program must meet the following two deadlines:

• Proposal for a thesis or Master’s project must be approved by two faculty readers by the end of the student’s third semester in the program.
• Thesis or first year empirical project must be completed and approved by two faculty readers by the end of the student’s third year in the program.

Failure to meet these deadlines will result in the student’s program being changed to a terminal Master’s degree program and financial aid adjusted accordingly.

Directed Research.   All students must enroll in PSYCH 306 (Directed Research) during their first two or three semesters. This course provides a valuable, educational experience for participating in faculty-directed research. An approved research proposal is required by the end of the second or third semester to successfully complete this course.

Field/Teaching Experience.  All PhD students are required to take either the Field Placement Seminar with an accompanying internship, the Teaching Seminar with an accompanying teaching experience, or the Preparing Future Faculty Sequence (PFF)    . The teaching requirement can be fulfilled with PFF by taking either one of the following courses:

• TNDY 430 - Transdisciplinary Pedagogy for Ethical Education (4 units)
• PFF 530 - Transdisciplinary Pedagogy for Ethical Education (0 units)

Portfolio.  All students are required to assemble a portfolio to provide evidence of professional development within an area of specialization. The compilation must include a minimum of six different products or experiences accumulated over the student’s period of graduate study that are relevant to the professional goals and specialization area of the student. Selection of portfolio items is expected to occur in consultation with the student’s research advisor and the second faculty member on their committee. Approval of the portfolio plan is recommended in each student’s second year in the Ph.D. program but must be obtained by the end of the third or fourth year in the Ph.D. program.

Research Tools.   In lieu of a language requirement, the program requires demonstrated proficiency in research tools tailored to the individual needs of the student.  Faculty approval of specific tools and satisfactory evidence of their mastery is required within the first three years of graduate study.  Two research tools must be completed before taking the oral qualifying examination.

Qualifying Examination.   The oral qualifying examination is intended to demonstrate the student’s ability to organize, integrate, and evaluate knowledge in an area of concentration. Satisfactory completion of the qualifying examination and approval of the dissertation proposal are prerequisites for advancement to candidacy for the doctoral degree.

Dissertation. University policies and procedures regarding dissertations are detailed in the Doctoral Degree Regulations section of the current Bulletin and on the registrar’s webpage.  The Psychology program requires the following additional specifications.

• Acceptable dissertation research conducted with the approval of an advisory committee must be submitted.
• Dissertation committees must consist of at least four examiners, of which one member must be a visiting examiner from outside the Claremont community.

Time to Degree Limits.  University policies on time to degree apply.  For doctoral students, the time to degree expectation is seven years, although this period of time may be reduced by the acceptance of transfer credit.  The Psychology program imposes the following additional specifications for its students regarding extensions of time to degree.

• Extensions of time are granted for only one year at a time.
• Only students who have completed the oral qualifying examination may be considered for a second extension.
• Only students who have been advanced to candidacy will be considered for a third extension.
• The Psychology PhD program does not authorize more than three extensions.

University Policies. Policies detailed in the current Policies and General Information Bulletin apply.

Admission. Admission requirements are detailed in the Admissions section of the current Policies and General Information Bulletin .

Master’s Degree Along the Way

CGU’s degree requirements for the Master of Arts in Psychology    apply. Students may qualify for a Master’s degree, received along the way to the doctoral degree, provided all of the following conditions are met.

• A minimum of 48 units of coursework must have been completed.
• Completed coursework must not have been used toward conferral of a Master’s degree from CGU in another discipline.
• A Master’s thesis has been completed and approved by two readers.

To receive the Master’s degree, students must follow degree completion procedures and comply with the deadlines applicable for the semester in which the degree is requested.  Degree completion deadlines are also published in the University’s Academic Calendar.

Practical Experience Milestone

International Psychology PhD students must meet the Practical Experience Milestone through:

• A teaching assistanship
• A research assistanship
• An external teaching opportunity
• A research project with CGU or other Faculty in the Claremont Colleges
• One or more articles submitted for publication
• Completion of one or more semesters in Doctoral Studies that includes relevant work experience and/or progress on the doctoral dissertation

Students must have their Practical Experience Milestones approved by the department prior to the submission of their completed Final Approval Form. This milestone is to be completed during the time to degree at CGU (7 years for PhD students). Extensions of time to degree citing this milestone will not be approved. Students can have a maximum of 4 years of experience for the Practical Experience Milestone. Activities completed in the past as part of the Portfolio can include up to 4 years of experience as part of the milestone.

Anti-semitic attitudes of the mass public: estimates and explanations based on a survey of the moscow oblast.

JAMES L. GIBSON, RAYMOND M. DUCH, ANTI-SEMITIC ATTITUDES OF THE MASS PUBLIC: ESTIMATES AND EXPLANATIONS BASED ON A SURVEY OF THE MOSCOW OBLAST, Public Opinion Quarterly , Volume 56, Issue 1, SPRING 1992, Pages 1–28, https://doi.org/10.1086/269293

In this article we examine anti-Semitism as expressed by a sample of residents of the Moscow Oblast (Soviet Union). Based on a survey conducted in 1920, we begin by describing anti-Jewish prejudice and support for official discrimination against Jews. We discover a surprisingly low level of expressed anti-Semitism among these Soviet respondents and virtually no support for state policies that discriminate against Jews. At the same time, many of the conventional hypotheses predicting anti-Semitism are supported in the Soviet case. Anti-Semitism is concentrated among those with lower levels of education, those whose personal financial condition is deteriorating, and those who oppose further democratization of the Soviet Union. We do not take these findings as evidence that anti-Semitism is a trivial problem in the Soviet Union but, rather, suggest that efforts to combat anti-Jewish movements would likely receive considerable support from ordinary Soviet people.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

Bureaucracy, Development, Economic Growth, Foreign Direct Investment, Libya, United Arab Emirates

Subject Categories

Economics | Political Science

Attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) is a determinant factor for developing national economies, and Libya is no exception. However, the bureaucracy in Libya still needs to be improved to help attract foreign direct investment. Therefore, this comparative case study seeks to analyze the effects of bureaucracy on attracting FDI to Libya and the United Arab Emirates, highlighting the bureaucratic barriers embodied mainly in bureaucratic expansion, bureaucratic corruption, and the obstacles of the FDI laws. I argue in favor of eliminating those bureaucratic barriers and improving bureaucratic quality, enhancing the chances of attracting and keeping FDI. The study's standpoint is that eliminating bureaucratic flaws such as bureaucratic expansion, bureaucratic corruption, and drawbacks of the foreign direct investment law are preconditions for the inflows of foreign direct investment to Libya, taking the experience of the UAE as an example in this regard. This study takes Libya as a major case and the UAE as a minor one. The United Arab Emirates succeeded in adopting bureaucratic reforms varying from reducing bureaucratic expansion and corruption and updating its FDI laws, which improved its bureaucratic quality and encouraged the inflows of FDI in recent decades. Therefore, the experience of the UAE is considered a suitable model that Libya can apply to attract FDI. The study goes beyond how the UAE utilized its bureaucracy in attracting FDI and how Libya did not to why the UAE could conduct such bureaucratic reforms while Libya could not. For the why aspect, the study brings the roles of political stability and the political leadership character and incentive. The study bridges qualitative and qualitative methods through the investigation process. It runs a simple regression model to determine whether what is being explored qualitatively about the relationship between bureaucratic quality and FDI inflows makes sense when quantitively examined.
