VINSON, M.A. DENTON, TEXAS AUGUST2010 TEXAS WOMAN'S UNNERSITY LIBRARY TEXAS WOMAN'S UNIVERSITY DENTON, TEXAS July 14, 2 0 10 To the Dean of the Graduate School: I am submitting herewith a dissertation written by Candice A. Vinson entitled "Influence of Ethnic Identity and Perceived Discrimination on Male Gender Role Conflict's Impact on Well-Being." I have examined this dissertation for form and content and recommend that it be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy with a major in Counseling Psychology. We have read this dissertation and recommend its acceptance: ~~c~ Department Chair Dean of the Graduate School DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to my parents. Their love, generosity, and unending support have made all my accomplishments possible. Mom, your presence and support in my life provide a foundation on which I stand during difficult times. I am continually amazed by your strength and touched by your dedication to me, family, and friends. My love for you is endless, as yours is for me. Dad, you are missed more than I could ever have imagined. While I am saddened that you are not here to see my attainment of a Ph.D., I know that you were always proud of me and are with me in spirit to celebrate this moment. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people to thank and acknowledgefor their part in the completion of this dissertation. I would like to recognize Dr. Linda Rubin for both her guidance as my dissertation chair and as a mentor of my clinical work. I would not be the therapist I am today without her mentorship during my clinical training, and I will be forever gratefulthat she played such a pivotal role during my time at Texas Woman's University. I must extend gratitude to one of my internshipsupervisors, Ross Artwohl, LCSW. Working with him in a clinical rotation regarding issues of men and masculinity in therapy not only inspired my choice of topic forthis dissertation, but also irrevocably transformedme as a therapist and as a person. I would also like to recognize my committee members fortheir feedback, support, and guidance. Dr. Debra Mollen has played a central role in my training as a mentor of both my academic pursuits and my personal growth and forthat I will always be thankful. Dr. David Marshall's patience and guidance through the difficultprocess of statistical analysis was essential to the completion of this project, and his humor while doing so was greatly appreciated. WhileI had little time to get to know Dr. Jenelle Fitch, she has been tremendously supportive during this process, and I am glad I had the opportunity to work with her. lV Finally, my friends and family have been such an important source of support in the writing of this dissertation and throughout my graduate education. Without their humor, insight, perspective, and care, this journey would have been infinitely more arduous. My life is better for having them in it. V ABSTRACT CANDICE A. VINSON INFLUENCE OF ETHNIC IDENTITY AND PERCEIVED DISCRIMINATION ON MALE GENDER ROLE CONFLICT'S IMPACT ON WELL-BEING AUGUST 2010 The purpose of this study was to examine the role of men's ethnic identity and experiences of perceived discrimination (PD) on their levels of gender role conflict (GRC); additionally, the role of moderation by ethnic identity was considered by analyzing its impact on the relationship between GRC and well-being as well as GRC and PD. A group of292 men of various ethnicities completed online measures of GRC, ethnic identity, PD, self-esteem, and satisfaction with life. Results showed that men with higher levels of GRC also had lower self-esteem and satisfaction with life. Men's levels of GRC were also found to be positively related to PD, such that higher levels of one were correlated with higher levels of the other. PD was unexpectedly found not to be related to self-esteem or satisfaction with life. Ethnic identity was positively related to self-esteem, but was unrelated to satisfaction with life. Ethnic identity was not found to act as a moderator in the relationships between GRC and well-being or between PD and well-being. The findings suggested that GRC remained a relevant factor in men's well­ being, while the role of ethnic identity was less clear. Given the salience of ethnic identity in the lives of men of color and the potential for harmful effects of GRC and PD, Vl the need for continued exploration of these variables in research was discussed. Also, the implications for mental health practitioners in their work with men were discussed. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page DEDICATION ............................................................................................................ iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................ iv ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................ vi LIST OF TABLES ...................................................................................................... xi Chapter I.

Manchus: A Horse of a Different Color by Hannah Knight Abstract: The question of identity has been one of the biggest questions addressed to humanity. Whether in terms of a country, a group or an individual, the exact definition is almost as difficult to answer as to what constitutes a group. The Manchus, an ethnic group in China, also faced this dilemma. It was an issue that lasted throughout their entire time as rulers of the Qing Dynasty (1644- 1911) and thereafter. Though the guidelines and group characteristics changed throughout that period one aspect remained clear: they did not sinicize with the Chinese Culture. At the beginning of their rule, the Manchus implemented changes that would transform the appearance of China, bringing it closer to the identity that the world recognizes today. In the course of examining three time periods, 1644, 1911, and the 1930’s, this paper looks at the significant events of the period, the changing aspects, and the Manchus and the Qing Imperial Court’s relations with their greater Han Chinese subjects.

An Abstract of Prester John: A Reexamination and Compendium of the Mythical Figure Who Helped Spark European Expansion by Michael E. Brooks Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for The Doctor of Philosophy degree in History The University of Toledo December 2009 This work reinterprets the evolution and pervasiveness of the Prester John myth, following the legend from its geographical and historical roots in central and eastern Asia to its final setting in Abyssinia. However, unlike most works on the subject, which typically begin with the twelfth-century writings of Otto of Freising, the author of this dissertation argues that a more complete understanding of the legendary priest-king requires an analysis of the literary traditions that created the ideal environment for the naissance of the Prester John saga. In addition, the influence that the Prester John legend exerted on the mindset of late medieval and early modern Europeans has been understated by many historians; this is in part due to the effects of periodization, whereby modern writers expect historical figures such as the Infante Dom Henrique, Christopher Columbus, and Duarte Lopes to behave in a modern - rather than late medieval - fashion.

Although the anniversary passed more quietly than usual, Tian’anmen 天安門 keeps its special place in our minds and few places in China can compete with the stature of the gate and the square that bears its name. For five hundred years, the gate was an important site for official functions during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and following the fall of the empire, the gate has grown in prominence. When the republic was inaugurated in 1912, the first president Yuan Shikai used the gate as a venue for the kind of public pageantry that was expected of a modern nation state.

How were the tensions in the relationship between Inner Asia and the long-lasting dynastic center overcome? This paper presents an analysis of Lifanyuan governance through ‘social systems’, on which the center-periphery relations were built, and of Lifanyuan management of ‘social entities’, in which the local Inner Asian communities were organized following their own conventions but under Qing supervision. The banner system for the Mongols, the Dalai-amban system for the Tibetans inside heartland Tibet, the tusi system for the Amdo Tibetans in Qinghai, and the beg system for the Muslim Uighurs in Xinjiang preserved and sustained four types of social entities centered on each people’s culture and identity. Considering the growing studies of borders and frontiers in relation to concepts of nation, state, and empire-state, this study treats Lifanyuan as a historical “agent” in the Qing Empire formation during the 17th and 18th centuries and discusses its long-term impact on China reaching up to the 21st century.
