Through my AP Research class I am conducting a study answering the question: To what extent have the effects of ritual abuse occurring during childhood impacted the career choices of 21st century adults in the United States?
Ritual abuse is defined as: repeated abuse including activities involving symbols and groups of people, carrying a religious, supernatural, or magical meaning.
In the field of ritual abuse, very little is known about the long-term effects it can have on aspirations, education, and careers. Additionally, there are very few perspectives from those who have experienced ritual abuse.
I am looking for participants that live in the United States, are currently adults, and experienced ritual abuse occurring during childhood. All participants will be interviewed answering 15 questions about the impact that ritual abuse has had on their life and career choices. This study will give individuals a platform to share their experiences to empower them to further understand the effects of ritual abuse on their lives and will spread awareness about the frequently occurring, yet marginalized topic of child ritual abuse.
