Participant Information about the School Safety Project
Consent forms for the first survey of this project will be sent home with the participants. The consent form for students who are 18 or older can be found here. The consent form for students who are under 18 can be found here. Students will need parent permission, in addition to their consent. The parental permission form can be found here. For returning consent form (regardless of whether they choose to participate), students will receive a voucher and will be able to trade this for either ear buds, a metal water bottle with the research lab's logo, or a USB drive. The consent forms will need to be returned by February 15th for the student to receive one of these items.
If the student chooses to participate:
This semester, surveys will be administered in order to help us understand how students respond to rejection. This survey will be given to students in grades 9 through 11, will take less than 30 minutes to complete, and will be conducted in the school computer labs during school hours. Researchers will be in attendance to administer these surveys if there are any specific questions about the survey.
Later this year, a subset of participants will be randomly selected from survey participants for the daily diary study. The purpose of the daily diary is to capture daily experiences and reactions to feeling left out by peers. Students will complete daily diary sheets and meet with the school psychology intern, Mr. Jabari Sellers, monthly to discuss school experiences. He is located in Room 2 in VOTEC. An informational flyer that describes the services that Mr. Jabari Sellers, the school psychology intern with the project and the high school, can provide for you can be found here. Students will be compensated for their participation.
