Thank you both!

The subject area is identity and the methodology is indeed qualitative. Due to time constraints,  it will be convenience sampling rather than self-selective. 

Best,

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / DNA test research - interviewees wanted
« on: Saturday 16 February 19 10:42 GMT (UK)  »
Hi!

My name is Maria and I am a Master's student in the Netherlands. The course I'm doing is called Intercultural Communication in which I study diversity and all aspects involved. I'm currently in the process of writing a thesis about the effects of DNA- testing on the test-takers' sense of ethnic identity. For this I am looking for people who are willing to do an interview over Skype or Talky (no account needed for this one). However, if you really would not like to do it through (video) call then through PMs would be fine too. You will be completely anonymous and the interview data will only be used for educational purposes. I am looking for participants who received DNA results with some rather unexpected results, such as a high percentage of an ethnicity you were unaware of having; a low percentage of the ethnicity you thought would be high; or (an) ethnicity/ies you have which you hadn't expected at all. If you wish, I can send you my paper after completion.

Please know that with "interview" I mean that it will be more like a pleasant chat. I will not ask you questions about your family situation as this is not relevant for this study. I only want to discuss your own sense of your ethnic identity before and after the test.

Please let me know if you'd like to participate by replying to this post or send me a PM. Your help would be greatly appreciated!  :)
