EPQ Help! (Asking for, and offering!)

Hello! For me EPQ, I endeavor to understand how cognitive dissonance correlates to wellbeing and identity. Cognitive dissonance is a phenomena that really intrigues me because of how prevalent it appears to me, and understanding how parts of a person's identity, and it's interaction with society impact a person has been a delight! I have designed a questionnaire aiming to understand how this manifests practically. I would be incredibly grateful if you could fill this in. (I'm aiming to reach a sample size of about 100)
This will take approximately 10 minutes.

Your participation is completely voluntary. Your data will be completely anonymous and confidential.
Data will only be used in my Extended Project Qualification and be analyzed in terms of general trends
Thank you so much for your time in advance.
The EPQ project genuinely feels like an uphill struggle sometimes, so I'm also offering help to anyone that has any questions/ wants support from me as I'm about 65% into my project and I feel like I've had to learn a lot of how to execute it through the internet!

thank you so much I really appreciate it!

In terms of writing/ organization, i would say the biggest thing i’ve done is just to stick to my gannt chart, and keeping a version of it that i modify according to what’s actually being done instead of what i want to accomplish because it makes my plans a bit more fluid? Also, because of the amount of reading and research I’ve had to do, it’s also making a massive table and putting every link, title into it, and making a note of the key points so that when i need to go back to it for reference i can do it really quickly!

Honestly it’s really been a learning curve. Your topic sounds really cool, best of luck!!

Reread your question! if you meant writing and organisation in terms of your final dissertation, i’d say start with a plan! Use a plan to outline everything you instead on putting in there, and see if it forms a coherent story. (try explaining it to someone to see if it would sound like it) Also, just remember to reference! Choose one referencing style (Use mybib.com it really helps) and always cite your source when you’re using an idea that’s not yours!
