Whats the difference between the “survey” component and the “interview” component?
From the 800 students who participate in the “survey” component, we plan to sample 20 students who will participate in three interviews during their first year at UCLA and two interviews each year thereafter. We will also ask them to let us “hang out” with them one weekday and one weekend day each year. The interview will focus on students’ experiences at UCLA (in their classes, with their friends, in clubs or sports, and so on). Each interview may last as long as two hours. Students will receive a $30 gift certificate to the UCLA store for their participation in the interview component the first year, and a $20 gift certificate for their participation in each subsequent year. If you think you might be interested in participating in the “interview” component of the study, make sure you leave that box checked on the consent form when you submit it.
