My name is Hollie Yang, and I am a doctoral candidate in the College of Education at The University of Texas at Austin. I am currently working on my dissertation focused on exploring the potential contribution of college major choice decisions of second-generation East Asian American students on their college experience and sense of belonging and am looking for undergraduate students who may be interested in participating in the study to share their experience.
For this study (IRB # STUDY00002693), participants will be asked to complete an initial five-minute demographic survey, two rounds of interviews (no more than 90 minutes each), and two brief two paragraph written reflections post-interview. Participation in this study is completely voluntary, and all collected data will remain confidential. Participants will have the option to interview either in person or via Zoom and will be compensated with a $30 Tango eGift Card upon completing all participant responsibilities listed above.
To participate in the study, you must:
1) Identify as East Asian American (Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Taiwanese)
2) Identify as second-generation American (born in the United States with at least one immigrant parent)
3) Be a current junior during the 2021-2022 academic year
If you meet the above requirements and are interested in participating in the study, please use the link below to complete the demographic survey. After completing the demographic survey, I’ll follow up with you via email to schedule an interview. If you have any questions or wish to follow up with this study, please email me at hollieyy53@utexas.edu.
