Hello-

My name is Zachary Russell, and I am a PhD candidate in the School of Political and Social Inquiry at Monash University. I am currently undertaking a research project about attitudes toward culture and identity amongst the Chinese and Anglo-Australian populations of Australia, and how these attitudes influence relationships between these groups. My principal co-researcher on this project is Dr. Dharma Arunachalam, and the formal project title is: “Acculturation and Intergroup Relations – Chinese and Anglo-Australians in Australia’.

To complete this research I am seeking both Anglo-Australian participants and Chinese participants who currently reside in Australia to complete a brief online questionnaire, which takes between 5 and 20 minutes to complete. All participation is limited to adults (age 18 or older) and is completely anonymous- you will never be asked your name or to provide other identifying information.

There are two unique questionnaires, with one being designed for Anglo-Australian participants and one being designed for Chinese participants. Ideally we would like between 200 participants from within the Chinese population of Australia, as well as 200 Anglo-Australian participants, from which we can draw two strong samples. Both online questionnaires are in English. However, a hard copy questionnaire in Mandarin for Chinese respondents can be arranged by contacting me (see details below).

If you would like to complete the Anglo-Australian questionnaire, please use the following link:

If you have any further questions about this research project, please contact me (Zachary Russell) via email or through this forum (which will be monitored regularly).

Regards,


Zachary J. Russell
