A 10 Minute TCK Study (Thesis)
I am a TCK conducting his thesis work in Psychology. This is the first part of a three phase study that I welcome you to take part in.

A research team from the New College of Florida is looking to examine the effects of a multicultural environment on human psychology. We are particularly interested in individuals who have moved around, although this is not a requirement for participation. We hope this research will further the understanding of human development and support positive outcomes of a multicultural upbringing.
After completion of the survey you will be given instructions on how to receive the results of the study once it is finished. This study is anonymous and has been approved by an Institutional Review Board. If you have any questions about this research study, please contact Ingmar Gorman at ingmar.gorman [at] ncf.edu
Your participation will be most appreciated!

Took it. Seemed more like a s*xual abuse survey. Funny, though. Never got my results…

“Thank you for completing our survey! Please contact tckstudy@gmail.com if you would like to receive a copy of the study when it’s finished.” < —-Email here for results please and you won’t get anything until all the results are in because it’s not a ‘ joke survey’.
I had trouble answering some of the questions as I always do with these types of surveys. The answers to the questions sometimes differ depending on the situation, i.e. work or private life - or were simply not the right question to ask me….but well, that’s how it goes.

I found it a little difficult too. i would have preffered if there was a possibility to put any comments we might want to add on to our information.
there are always contingencies or extenuation circumstances with TCK’s!!

Thank you for participating and your comments as well!
First off, no the survey has nothing to do with sexual abuse. If it did, there would have been many more restrictions in regards to the institutional review board and other ethical considerations.
The results of the survey will not be available for another 6 months at the very least. This is the first phase of three research experiments.
With that in mind, the survey does have limitations in regards to its self-report format. I would rather not go into detail at the risk of contaminating potential responses, but in short, I agree with both of your concerns. Some of the measures are rather broad and difficult to answer out of context. Alas, such are the limitations of psychometrics.
I’m happy to let you know that the two upcoming studies do not have such pitfalls and I hope you’ll find them rather enjoyable. Keep your eyes open in the next few months.
