Online Survey: Sexual Coercion

Below is an announcement about a research project and online survey in need of Asian American respondents.

Participants Needed for Study on Sexual Coercion

My name is Krista Hansen and I am a currently enrolled in Florida Institute of Technology’s Psy.D graduate program. I am working on my Doctoral Research Project and am conducting a study in which I am replicating the construction of a new research tool designed to measure sexual coercion. Currently there is no research instrument which solely addresses sexual coercion, perhaps because of the unique and subtle nature of this specific type of sexual experience. I am specifically interested in determining the generalizability of this new measure across Asian American subjects.

It is hoped that through this research this new measure can be validated furthering the research devoted to this area. I am specifically aiming my study towards Asian American participants because of the unique protective and risk factors found within this collectivistic culture. I am hoping that my research can later lead to the implementation of specific interventions aimed to increase protective factors and decrease risk factors of sexual coercion which could hopefully lead to reduced rates of sexual coercion within the Asian American population and worldwide.

I am hoping that your organization will help me in my research, specifically by making the survey link available to your members who are above the age of 18 and who self identify as Asian American. If you fit this criteria and are interested in helping my research please visit my survey site, http://scs.questionpro.com/.

This survey will not take long to complete and the information gathered will hopefully lead to advancements in our understanding of sexual coercion and could perhaps someday lead to interventions that could reduce rates of sexual coercion worldwide. Your confidentiality and safety is of utmost concern and any information obtained through this survey that could identify you will be kept strictly confidential. My study has been approved by my schools Institutional Review Board and my IRB number is 10-022.

Thank you in advance!

Respectfully,
Krista Hansen, M.S.

I am writing to you from Loyola Marymount University where I am an honors student in the Psychology Department. I am currently working with Dr. Adam Fingerhut on an online survey study about Asian/White biracial individuals. The study has been approved by LMU’s Institutional Review Board (LMU IRB # 2009 F-42).

I am trying to recruit a large sample of Asian/Caucasian biracial individuals for a study on family relationships. Those who participate in this study will be entered into a lottery to win one of 10 $20 iTunes gift cards. To participate, or to learn more about the research, please visit:

Online Survey: Asian Americans and Anxiety

Below is an announcement from a reader asking for my help in publicizing research she is doing on Asian Americans and social anxiety. For your participation, you’ll be entered into a lottery to win a $60 gift card.

But even if you don’t win, as I’ve said before, surveys like this are great ways for us as Asian Americans to do our part to address the history of our community being systematically excluded from research like this. Take a few minutes of your time and help end the silence and help make our voices heard:

I am conducting research for my dissertation examining how culture and ethnicity may affect social anxiety, in particular with different Asian-American groups.

I am seeking Asian-American adults (18 years and older) to fill out a short series of questionnaires online (please go to www.ResearchStudy1.blogspot.com to be directed to the survey) . Asian-Americans without social anxiety, or those who are not sure, are also needed for this study for comparison purposes.

There has been little research done on how various factors affect Asian-American mental health. This study hopes to contribute to the field of understanding Asian-Americans, and lead to effective treatments in Asian-American mental health.

It should take less than 35 minutes and participants will be entered into a lottery for a $60 gift certificate from one of these store of your choice (Target, Amazon.com, Sephora, Best Buy).

All adults (18 years and older) are very welcome to participate! Please pass this on to anyone that would be interested. Strict confidentiality is maintained. If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact the principal investigator of this study at SocialAnxietyandEthnicity@gmail.com .
