THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: López First name: Carlos Other name/s: Scott Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: M.Psych (Clinical) / Ph.D School: Psychology Faculty: Science Title: How culture affects memory encoding: extending the “Threat to Conceptual Self” Model (TCSM) for traumatic experiences Culture has been identified as an important factor in mediating how individuals experience and process trauma. This thesis investigated the import of various cultural dimensions on traumatic symptomatology by scrutinizing key elements of the ‘Threat to Conceptual Self’ Model (TCSM). The model explicates the role of culture in arousing heightened traumatic responses associated with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Four studies are discussed involving participants from conflict-affected Colombia who were still living in Colombia or now living in Ecuador as refugees and asylum seekers. Participants contributed data via surveys and solicited cognitive representations in the form of autobiographical memories of everyday memories, traumatic events, self-defining memories, and future imaginings. Study One investigated the extent to which participants from Colombia around the Ecuadorian border share a specific culture, as well as the extent to which this cultural disposition is stable over time. Evidence suggests that the Colombians appear to share a cultural milieu, though cultural constructs vary longitudinally on an individual level. Study Two investigated the extent to which the cultural milieu of the Colombians in Ecuador comports with their traumatic experiences. Findings indicated that traumatic experiences prime cultural dispositions addressing independence, individualism, security, stability, and autonomy. Study Three examined the import of cultural elements vis-à-vis extreme traumatic symptomatology, finding that significant trauma comports with significant incongruity with many cultural constructs. Finally, Study Four confirmed that the cognitive representations examined in this thesis are consistent with previous reports of the impact of trauma on autobiographical memories and future imaginings. The evidence is unclear, however, regarding the degree to which culture mediates the effects of trauma on thoughts addressing one’s conceptual sense of oneself, which the TCSM suggests is a significant perpetuating and maintaining factor of traumatic symptomatology. The thesis concludes in discussing the theoretical implications of the TCSM; reviewing the evidence of cultural elements and traumatic symptomatology among various cognitive representations; and proposing key areas of further research into the import of culture into the ways in which trauma is experienced and maintained.

Date Page ii How Culture Affects Memory Encoding: Extending the “Threat to Conceptual Self” Model (TCSM) for Traumatic Experiences Acknowledgements Since I commenced my research almost nine years ago in early 2009, a host of individuals and institutions have provided me valuable assistance, guidance, and support. Without their help, I could not have pursued the necessary research and fieldwork which enabled me to complete this thesis successfully. They all deserve mention and credit for this thesis as it is as much their accomplishment as it is my own. First and foremost, I wanted to express my deepest appreciation for the sources of funding which enabled me to pursue my research. These include the Gamelan Council, from which I received an award for research work in Ecuador with the encouragement and support of many of my colleagues at my previous alma matris. These included the support and encouragement of individuals such as Professors Peter Schuck and Carroll Lucht at the Yale Law School (from where I earned my Doctor of Law (Juris Doctorate)); Dr. Nick Zirpolo, an affiliate clinical psychologist of Stanford University (from where I earned my MBA and MA); and Professor Robin Gottlieb of Harvard University (where I received my BA (Hons)). I received additional funding from the Australian Government in the form of an Australian Postgraduate Award; from the Dept. of Psychology / Faculty of Science at the University of New South Wales in the form an additional semester’s support and funding to cover research-related expenses; and the Graduate Research School of the University of New South Wales in the form of funding to present my research at the APA Conference in Toronto, Canada, in mid-2015. In summary, these funds enabled me to travel and spend significant time in Ecuador

Photo: Karen Kartomi Thomas. 1 BACKGROUND: The Symposium will investigate sound, body movement, drama, hierarchy and socio-historical context in the musical arts of (i) the mainly Muslim Malays who live on the more accessible, partly industrialising islands of the Riau archipelago (Kepri) and (ii) the Orang Suku Laut/Sea Nomads living in areas that are relatively untouched by modernisation. Both the sedentary and the sea-nomadic Malays are heirs to the arts of the Riau-Lingga-Johor & Pahang kingdom (its official name in the Riau Islands) which formerly covered the present-day province of Kepri. The kingdom traces its heritage back to Bukit Siguntang (Siguntang Hill) in the 7th century CE, followed by its subsequent re-locations in Bintan, Singapore, Melaka, Johor, Pahang and Daik- Lingga, including that of the Viceroy at Penyengat from the mid- to late- 18th century until 1911. The Symposium will adopt an across-the-arts approach in its study of the styles and syntax of the music, dance, theatre, bardic arts, martial arts, and popular commercial arts in relation to the Kepri people’s history; lifestyles; royal Malay heritage; religious, socio-political and gender ideologies, and the sustainability of the arts.

University, Tirupati 517502 ** Academic Consultant, Dept. of Commerce, S.V. University, Tirupati 517502 ABSTRACT Microfinance is usually understood to entail the provision of financial services to micro-entrepreneurs and small businesses, which lack access to banking and related services due to the high transaction costs associated with serving these client categories. The two main mechanisms for the delivery of financial services to such clients are (1) relationship-based banking for individual entrepreneurs and small businesses; and (2) group-based models, where several entrepreneurs come together to apply for loans and other services as a group.

According to a report on Global Aging issued in 2008, members in the informal sector formed about 80% of the working population in Ghana. The informal sector contributes several ways towards economic growth. However, they are not considered for main stream credit by formal banks for lack of steady business, lack of Collateral and historical Financial Data for reference. They, therefore, depend heavily on Micro credit (the extension of small loans to those in the informal sector to spur entrepreneur) by informal financial institutions.
