Are you going to provide the study's findings?

If you'd like me to, I can. My rough findings will be done by the end of this month. Thank you for your interest!

np.

If I were in Canada, I'd totally participate, but I'm not, so.....

That's ok! I really appreciate your interest though!

canada, huh?

damn.

Yeah, unfortunately I had to use Canada only as I wasn't too sure if I included people in the US, it might affect my results.

Good luck with your thesis. Just wondering though if you know that statistically, online surveys are very inaccurate and will not provide you with a representative sample.

It's not my thesis, just a paper for one of my classes. While online surveys is not the best method statistically, random sampling in near impossible since multiracial individuals is a specialized population. So I'm relying on the snowball sampling method. As for people entering false info/data, that's a possibility, but it would be a possibility too if I handed out surveys in person without doing a thorough background check which would be quite resource and time consuming. Thank you for letting me know your concerns.
