After corresponding with the survey authors, we said we would be happy to pass along word of their invitation to our readers. Following is the provided introduction to the survey.
We encourage any of our readers who participate in the survey to stop back here and let us know about the experience, and any thoughts on career and family it may have raised for you.
Hi, my name is Samantha, and I am a student researcher at the University of Mary
Washington, in Fredericksburg, Virginia, working under the supervision of Dr.
Mindy Erchull and Dr. Miriam Liss.
We are collecting data from individuals between the ages of 18 and 30 who have never been married or have had any children. We are especially interested in exploring the experiences of ethnic minority college students as these groups have been traditionally underrepresented in the research on career and family plans.
Do African American students expect a greater division of labor than Hispanic
American students?
Is there a difference in drive to marry between Asian American students and African American students?
These are just some of the questions we hope to answer with our research. There has been very little research completed on ethnic minority students and we are seeking your assistance. Please help us learn more about college students' expectations on their future regarding work and family. If you are interested, I’d love to have you fill out my survey. By following the link below, you are helping
broaden the research and understanding of traditionally underrepresented groups
of college students' expectations for their career and family life.
As an added bonus, once you complete the survey you will be entered into a drawing to win a $25 gift card at Target.Thank you for your participation, feel free to share this information and link with your friends!
