    Title of Study: Co-Cognitive Factors and My High School: An Investigation of Adults’ Perceptions of How Their High School Nurtured Their Motivation and Holistic Development

    Volunteers are needed to participate in a research study evaluating the influence of high schools on students’ motivation, success, and self-actualization.

    Participants must be at least 18 years of age, and must have attended high school for at least one year. Participation in this study will require completion of a survey, which should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. The survey includes demographic questions and questions regarding participants’ perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs about how their high school supported their motivation and overall development (i.e., intellectual, social-emotional, creative, physical, moral, spiritual).
