Thank you all for your questions about this dissertation study.

This is my first doctoral study and unfortunately, I'm not very good a marketing so I'm learning a lot from your feedback! Thanks!

I attend Sofia University in Palo Alto, CA. The dissertation approval process follows the ethical standards for studying human participants from the American Psychological Association. This means that my research proposal was approved by my dissertation committee AND the Research Ethics Committee of my school. In order to be approved to begin collecting data, the dissertation proposal is evaluated for its research methods, outreach and recruitment plans, and protection of participants identity and safety.

I hope this answers some of your questions.

If you have further questions please email me directly at s.friedrich@sofia.edu or you can take a look at the first page of the survey for the parental informed consent which provides further explanations about the study. Also, my adviser is Dr. Frederic Luskin (Fred.Luskin@sofia.edu).
