dissertation recruitment
Interested in helping a doctoral candidate with her research?
----
My name is Stephanie Day. I am a doctoral candidate in the Clinical Psychology Program at the University of Massachusetts Boston and a Korean adoptee.
I am working on a research study exploring the experiences of Korean adopted women who are making or have already made the decision to become first-time biological mothers. I am interested in interviewing women at least once, and possibly twice about their understanding of themselves and others. The first interview will be in person and should take about 90-120 minutes. To participate in the interview you must be a Korean adopted woman, between 25 and 40 years of age, in a romantic relationship with a White man for at least 8 months, and have made the decision to have a child or already have only one child who has not started kindergarten yet.
Your voice and experiences could contribute greatly to an understanding of the identity development of adult Korean adoptees. In addition, you will have the opportunity to share your personal experiences and may even learn something new about yourself in the process. If you are interested in participating in an interview or would like more information, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
Stephanie Day
