I invite you to participate in a research study. I am a doctoral learner at Capella University in the School of Social Behavior. I am conducting this research to complete my degree. I will write a paper about the research findings. I want to learn about how older adolescents, ages 18 to 21, reflect on experiences of peer aggression during middle and high school years. The goal of the study is to better understand how these experiences shaped their identity, friendships, and school or work life. By listening to older adolescent experiences, we can build support for healthier relationships and reduce peer aggression among other adolescents.
You might want to participate because you want to share your personal story and be heard in a safe and respectful environment. Talking about your experiences with peer conflict can provide insight into how these events shaped your friendships, identity, and growth as a young adult.
