research survey for chinese/taiwanese americans: "describing yourself in your own words"

Got word passed along to me about the research study out of the Psychology Department at the University of Texas at Austin... They're looking for Chinese/Taiwanese American respondents for an online survey, Describing Yourself in Your Own Words, examining the intersection between personality traits and different demographic factors such as age, sex, background, and culture.. Here are some more details about the study:
The purpose of this study is to examine how people describe their personality as a function of different demographic factors such as age, sex, background, and culture. Your participation in the survey will contribute to a better understanding of self-identity across many demographic domains. If you decide to participate you will be asked to complete a 15- minute writing task about your personality and complete a couple of questionnaires related to your background and well being. The entire study should take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Please feel free to contact the investigators at the email addresses above if you'd like to discuss the study.
If you fit the bill (ancestry from China/Taiwan/Hong Kong, currently residing in the United States, fluent in English, 18 years old or above), and have got a moment to spare, why not help out some graduate students with their research. It says the study takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. For more information, and to fill out the online survey, go here.
