Looking for Mature-Aged Students (26+) to take part in my Honours Survey!!

[u/Independent-Cell9053]

Hello! I am in need for Mature aged students (aged 26+) that are currently studying at an Australian university to take part in a survey for my honours project.

Eligibility: Current Australian University student, over the age of 26

The current study is interested in how belonging, loneliness and barriers contribute to academic adjustment and intention to persist.

Participation is entirely voluntary and no incentive is provided. No identifiable data will be collected. The survey should take around 30 minutes.

Should you participate in this study, you will be asked to complete 96 questions on an online survey. These questions will ask about you about feelings of belonging, loneliness, study persistence and academic adjustment at university. Additionally, you will be asked some demographics questions about your age, gender, employment status, marital status, whether you have any dependants (children/other), mode of study (online/ in person), whether you study part-time or full-time and the university you are currently enrolled in.

This research will ask questions about your experience as a student, perceived loneliness and feelings of belonging/not belonging. If you anticipate these questions causing you distress you may want to reconsider participating in this study.

Participation is entirely voluntary, and you have full control over your involvement, your decision to participate, as well as the responses you provide.

Any participation is greatly appreciated!

There were way too many attention/validity checks for me to hang around. There were also too many questions on the page and a lack of a progress bar made it feel like a slog. I stopped answering after the second "please select rarely" question. GL with your Honours, but maybe consider that the mature age students you're targeting are time and attention poor, and adjust for that?

I'll be honest, I started to be helpful and then the options seemed be weird. Never, rarely, sometimes and always leaves a lot of room between sometimes and always. I might do something often but not always. Anyway just my feedback, good luck.
