Dear Potential Participant,
My name is Jennifer deBerardinis and I am currently conducting a study as a graduate student in clinical psychology at the Wright Institute, an APA-accredited graduate school, in Berkeley, California, regarding multiracial identity and experiences. The goal of the project is to further mental health professionals’ understanding of multiracial identity and to provide recommendations to support clinicians who work with this unique population. Your participation would assist in the completion of the study. If you choose to participate, your participation would involve completing 3 questionnaires that ask you to respond to a series of questions regarding your racial identity and experiences.
Please consider participating in my survey if you meet BOTH of the following criteria:
- You are an adult between the ages of 18-30 who was born and are currently living in the United States.
- You have ONE biological parent who is Southeast Asian (e.g., Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, East Timor, and/or Brunei) and ONE biological parent of White heritage.
Completion of the materials should take no more than an hour of your time. Your completed materials can be submitted anonymously; however, if you choose to enter the raffle for a $50 Amazon gift card, an email address will be required. Entering the raffle and providing your email address is optional and not mandatory to participate in the study. If you meet the criteria listed above and would like to participate in the study, please click the link below. Also, If you know anyone who meets the criteria and would like to participate, please feel free to send them the link as well.
