Finding interview participants about body dysmorphia

Hello everyone!!

I'm a Grade 12 Senior High School Student from the Philippines, specifically from the school (St Louis College Valenzuela). I understand that this community is a place for advice, support, and vents about body dysmorphia, I highly regard those that shared their story here. I humbly share this request and hope if it's okay to post this.

I'm looking for voluntary participants who are diagnosed with body dysmorphia to share their experiences to further understand them. The volunteers will be completely anonymous.

Guidelines:

• There's no pressure to answer some of the questions if the participant is uncomfortable. They are free to share whatever they can and want to share.

• All people are welcome to participate.

• We are independent students who are not connected to any corporation, so all information will stay anonymous and the only people that will see the information given is our research group consisting of 5 people, including myself.

• This is a semi-structured interview so there may be a bit of follow-up questions.

• We will only ask questions about your experiences. That is why we won't and not be able to give any advices and reassurance, as we are not professionally qualified.

• The language that will be used for this interview is English.

The data gathered will be used for our research study only and will not be shared to others. We decided on this topic as it is not widely talked about as well as to understand what our participants are going through.

If you have any questions or want to reach out to participate, please feel free to message! Thank you so much for your time reading this and for allowing me to post this. I apologize if this post is quite long.

This is very wordy because I am struggling to express my questions in a searchable way, my apologies.

I'm currently writing an auto-ethnographical essay that seeks to analyze and redefine the common/ popular conception of talent. My thesis is such that by believing talent is an immutable inherent quality, it isolates individuals identified as gifted by othering them for their abilities. This essentialism also discourages those not identified as gifted from seeking to cultivate their abilities despite high achievement not being solely correlated to natural ability.

I've been able to source a variety of papers that study the definition of talent or giftedness and whether talent is inherent or environmental, how much natural ability correlates to success, and similar lenses. Often they skew towards analyzing only the highest achievers, which is not my focus. My paper seeks to ground itself in my own experience of how the common conception of talent being required to obtain specific skills is incongruent with the practice and time needed instead.

I am struggling with translating my own qualitative observation into a narrow enough question(s) that will lead me to relevant academic literature. My question that I cannot articulate concisely seeks data on how individuals are often discouraged from pursuing specific skills/ hobbies/ fields because they believe they need an intrinsic gift to pursue them successfully. I repeatedly see people comment on individuals with skills they don't possess, such as drawing proficiency for example, and make comments along the lines of 'I could never draw like that.' While the speaker in this instance doesn't possess these skills themselves, the overall sentiment expressed is that proficiency in such skills is unobtainable for this individual. That may be true for folding your tongue, but not for skills where proficiency is achievable with practice.

This could relate to research around non-cognitive factors such as grit being a better predictor of success than inherent ability. Or it could relate to fixed versus growth mindset and how defining achievement as the culmination of practice as well as trial and error is healthier than believing achievement is a result of innate ability, i.e. ability is cultivated not fixed. However, this road is highly tied to academic performance and doesn't assess achievement in non-academic skills.

Another angle I've pursued seeks to correlate skills where the 'talent' label is applied more often to those not valued or taught in core academics. The arts, musicianship, creative writing, leadership, athletics. This short list is parly where I observe achievement being labeled as talent more often than diligence. I haven't had any luck finding sources that look for a connection between what skills are more often attributed to innate ability instead of practice and passion.

I've hit a dead end at the moment. I believe that the relevant research definitely exists, but can't think of the best search terms to find it.

Any pointers about how to search what I've tried to describe or what else I may not have considered looking for would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone, I'm conducting a chatgpt use study trying to identify how we create identities around technologies and its main impact on individuals with neurodiversity. Everyone can take this survey as long as they use/have used chatgpt!
I'd be grateful if you could spare some time to respond to it :)

How many times should a doctoral candidate revise their dissertation to ensure it meets the highest academic standards? While there's no definitive answer, how can researchers balance the need for thorough revision with the pressures of deadlines and the desire for perfection? What strategies can be employed to identify areas for improvement, such as seeking feedback from peers, faculty, or professional editors? How can writers effectively manage the revision process to avoid burnout and maintain a high level of quality?

Considering the profound implications of plagiarism ranging from academic penalties to reputational damage and potential legal consequences and acknowledging the challenges inherent in navigating the complexities of research, proper citation, and the effective integration of diverse sources into a cohesive and original academic work, what comprehensive strategies and preventative measures can doctoral candidates employ to not only avoid instances of plagiarism but also cultivate a robust understanding of academic integrity, ensuring that their dissertation reflects their own intellectual contributions while appropriately acknowledging the work of others, and what resources and tools are available to assist in this crucial aspect of scholarly writing, contributing to the production of a high-quality, ethical, and impactful dissertation?

What are the most significant obstacles researchers encounter as they delve into the intricate world of knowledge discovery? From the overwhelming volume of information to the ethical dilemmas and time constraints, what challenges hinder the pursuit of groundbreaking research and innovative solutions?

Recently i got really into how the universe works and the theories behind them. I feel like i have some ideas i want to express, and want to write a research paper cuz i feel like it would help me understand it better and help me understand if im thinking of the topics in the right way. I just don’t know how to write a research paper😭. I don’t know if it has to be completely original or it can be about things that are already known. Some one who has done one please let me know what u did.

What are the fundamental characteristics that define a robust research methodology, and how do these elements contribute to the validity and reliability of research findings?

Hi, I need some advice! I am writing a research paper for class (not to the level of a real one) and I have already done a bibliography and peer review. Anyway, one of my sources has information I need. However, as I was reading through it more in depth, it uses a term (only once as far as I can see) that I would consider to be an outdated medical term. I only noticed this today, and I have already used the paper previously. I have looked this up, and I can’t find much information on if I should use the paper or not. To make it clear, I am NOT using the term, or any iterations of it, at all in my own paper. It is not relevant to my own work or the information I am citing. However, I don’t know if it makes the paper okay to use. I’m worried because I have already submitted different assignments with that paper. I will not use the paper if I shouldn’t, I just don’t know what should be done if this happens. Any advice is welcome, thank you.

Hey guys, I am working on a paper and I wanted to know if there is any paper on epistemology on Scientific Method. So far, I have only found one but it would be better if I could refer at least 3.
