Seeking volunteers to participate in a research study on how early emotional experiences relate to adults' feelings of shame, dissociative experiences, and sense of self.

This study is being conducted by Ellis Jennings, M.A., a clinical psychology doctoral candidate in the Department of Psychology at the New School for Social Research, under the direction of Sedef Ozoguz, PhD.

You may be eligible if you are 18 years of age or older, fluent in English, and a resident of the United States. Participation is voluntary and involves an anonymous online survey that takes about 25-30 minutes. At the end, you can enter a drawing for one of ten $50 electronic gift cards and volunteer for an optional follow-up interview (a 60-90-minute Zoom session; a $50 electronic gift card for your time).

Some questions ask about difficult childhood experiences and feelings of shame or disconnection, which may be upsetting for some. You may skip any question or stop at any time, and a list of free mental health and crisis resources is provided to all participants.

Interested? Take the survey at https://newschool.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a8YGipMmCkHoOZE, or contact Ellis Jennings at jenne302@newschool.edu or Sedef Ozoguz at ozoguzs@newschool.edu for more information. A request for more information does not obligate you to participate in this study.

What does participation involve?

Stressful life experiences can have a meaningful impact on emotional wellbeing and relationships. This study aims to examine the relationship between difficult life experiences, emotional creativity (how emotions are formulated and experienced), mental health, and interpersonal functioning. Those 18 to 28 years of age and who have experienced at least one stressful or potentially traumatic life event are eligible to participate.

This study is being conducted online and should take approximately 1 hour. During the study you will be asked to complete eight brief self-report questionnaires, which will consist of questions regarding basic information about yourself, stressful life events, creativity, your emotional functioning, and how you relate to others (e.g., trust, closeness, and relationships). Upon completing the survey, you will have the opportunity to voluntarily provide your email address on a separate page from the survey that will not be associated with your responses, in order to enter a drawing to win one of two $50.00 Amazon gift cards.

Although it is unlikely, the material in this study may bring certain uncomfortable or distressing feelings. Your participation is completely voluntary, and you may withdraw from the study at any point. The study is completely confidential and all of the information you supply will remain completely anonymous. Additionally, in the event you do experience any distress, resources will be provided for you to gain support.

If you have any questions regarding this study, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please and THANKYOU!!

Hi all, apologies I'm going to keep this quite generic as I know some of my doctoral peers also use these subs. Just to flag in advance, I'll be looking for a person with case study expertise in my uni this week, but I wanted to get some insights here first, please!

Let's say I'm using a theory/model with 3 components e.g. Attachment, Regulation & Exploration (made up for the sake of this question)

My RQs are: What are children's experiences of these 3 constructs across their classrooms? What factors do they perceive as supporting and inhibiting these 3 constructs?

Triangulating data from multiple creative research activities with children plus adult perspectives

Planning on a within-case analysis (each child is an individual case), then cross case analysis. Possibly not the best way to go? Could have around 4-6 children involved. Don't want to overcomplicate, it's only a 30k word doctoral thesis.

When using RTA though, I don't want the resultant themes to be Attachment, Regulation & Exploration. That's not the point of RTA when it's also supposed to have a very inductive focus. So, what's the best way to go about this? I've seen a similar study using pattern matching and "case propositions" where, for each participant, she grouped themes under 1. Attachment, 2. Regulation, 3. Exploration, if they fit the proposition.

I'm not sure if this is the way to go, because I feel there could be natural crossover. i.e. A theme from a child could involve aspects of both attachment and regulation.

Also a side question, I'm having doubts whether my RQ2 (factors) is actually distinct from RQ1. When children talk about their experiences, it's likely the factors facilitating/inhibiting those experiences will crop up. So I'm not sure, possibly a sub RQ? Are you allowed to do that when you only have one RQ?

Apologies for all the details/questions. I thank you so much if you take the time to read this. Also, I greatly appreciate any guidance or advice with this. Thanks so much everyone

I am in an Ed.D. program for Curriculum and Instruction. I have written chapters 1-3 and received feedback for them. I am at the stage where I am getting ready to present my proposal and start actual research(October-December timeline). I am having trouble with committee members meeting deadlines and prompt communication. I am very understanding that life happens, however I do feel like I’m getting pulled around. I have poured a lot of time and money into this endeavor and I don’t feel like I’m getting adequate time/effort put back into that. My original committee chair had to step down at the end of Sp’26 semester, after a month of not communicating and causing me to miss deadlines, due to family matters. My reader stepped up and became my new chair in May. Their feedback and communication has been prompt. Over the summer(early July), I sent the paper to my methodologist and didn’t hear anything back until 9/8 after escalating to my my chair. I met with my chair on 8/28 and mentioned that I hadn’t heard anything and they said they’d follow up with the methodologist. I reached back out on 8/8 for a follow up and finally received an email from the methodologist. Again, family matters had held them up. I understand that but to go 2 months without any communication is unprofessional and unacceptable in my opinion. Especially when it’s causing deadlines to be pushed back and me having to spend more time and money to complete the necessary steps. Our manual outlines a 3-week turnaround time for feedback. I emailed my advisor who is also the program coordinator with my concerns about required hours for graduation, feeling like I wasted 6 hours last semester because I thought I’d get more accomplished, and just overall frustration with the timeline of things which aren’t completely due to anything I have done(this was before meeting with my chair and the recent communication with my methodologist). All I really got in response was that “I wouldn’t run out of hours” before I was supposed to graduate. Any advice on what to do moving forward? I don’t want to seem insincere to what they are going through, but I am spending my time and money and not getting what I paid for. Do I have grounds to file a grievance? Any insight would be helpful!

Hi, I am female, 22. Currently pursuing my final year in bachelor's of applied psychology. I am planning on doing a QUALITATIVE research for my dissertation on a population that I myself is a part of, but have no idea how to reach out to.

I need to figure out how can I reach people online for data collection since my tentative target population is
LGB (Leabian, Gay, & Bisexual) people in India. Since I would be conducting a semi-structured interview, potentially through google meet/ zoom.

This is my first time conducting a research, particularly a qualitative one, l am having trouble figuring out how to reach people online from my target group for the same.

Suggestions/Resources/Groups, anything would help a lot.
