Alden Zhang (she/her) is a transracial Chinese American adoptee working on a Psychology senior thesis project titled “Well-Being of Transracial Asian American Adoptees.” The study seeks participants who meet the following criteria for an online research survey:

  1. Identify as Asian American
  2. Adopted into a family with at least one parent that is non-Asian
  3. Be 18 years of age or older

The survey will take approximately 15 minutes, and you are welcome to complete the survey at your convenience. Upon the completion of the survey, you will have the option to be put in a raffle to receive a $25 electronic gift card as compensation. Interest in the study would be much appreciated.

The research protocol was approved by the Bates Institutional Review Board (IRB# 25-33).

If you know anyone at other Asian American organizations who may be eligible for the study, please share this with those who may be interested in participating in.
