The internship assignment
You will help us collect questionnaire data from young people and their parents at secondary schools and via their smartphones (using the Experience Sampling Method, ESM). You will visit the educational locations to introduce the research to the young people, explain what they need to do, and guide them in completing the questionnaires. You will assist in preparing for the visits and, afterwards, help process the data. You will recruit, monitor, follow up with, and encourage young people who complete a very short questionnaire every day via their own phones. Additionally, you will help us recruit the parents of the participating young people. You will contact these parents (for example, via email or phone) and explain why it is extremely important that they participate as well!
During your internship, you will have the opportunity to contribute practically to and brainstorm ongoing research. You will do this together with a team of other interns and researchers from the SOCIALs project. This research will take place between early September and mid-December 2026 at various locations throughout the Netherlands. You will receive training beforehand.
