Project Description

The project is in early development and will consist of the creation of an educational intervention teaching Multiracial emerging adults (ages 18-29) about Multiracial identity options based on Rockquemore and Brunsma's (2002) Multidimensional Model of Biracial Identity. The intervention will be provided over a pre-recorded video that will be created as a part of this project, lasting approximately 30-40 minutes, and include reflections informed by the Transformative Learning Experience framework by Pugh (2011).

Research Tasks: Anticipated research tasks include:
- Finalizing and reviewing literature review
- Filling out IRB form
- Recruitment (creating Qualtrics QR code, flyer creation, flyer distribution)
- Creating the Qualtrics survey (imbedding the video into the survey, adding demographic and variable measure items)
- Recording the intervention video (script will be provided)

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: - Excellent written communication skills (required)
- Time management skills (required)
- Receptivity to feedback (required)
