Hello, I am an AP Research student at Texas. For reasons unknown, I decided to make my research project an online experiment involving children aged 8-12. This is really hard, given the need for the IRB, and the difficulty of distributing the experiment. Basically, children aged 8-12 will fill out a survey on age compression, watch 6 Instagram reels that are kid friendly, and then do the same survey, and I'll see if there is a quantifiable difference in the rating system of each question. I recognize now that it would be so much easier to do something like a metanalysis, or an experiment without human subjects, especially minors, but too late to back out now. My question is- how can I target my ideal group of participants? I want this to be a generalizable population of the entirety of the USA, so I was thinking about reaching out to school administrators across the country to see if they would somehow distribute my survey, but I don't know how it's possible. Is there (first of all, anyone who thinks their parents and younger siblings would be able to do this survey, or) any place on the internet I can easily get a generalizable group of participants? For reference, minimum sample size is 30 people. Thank you!
