If you ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (at least HAW 102 or equivalent), your assistance with Study 3 would be greatly appreciated.

If you are a repeating participant the study will take 15 minutes instead of 60 minutes!

Study 3

In this study you will need to rate on a numerical scale how "Hawaiian-like" non-words appear according to your knowledge of Hawaiian. Next you will identify to the best of your abilities your confidence on whether a word is real or non-real in Hawaiian.

  • All participants who complete the study will be compensated with your choice of a $15 USD Amazon Gift card, Zippy's Gift card or a $15 USD donation to ka ‘Aha Pūnana Leo immersion schools.
  • The study is completely online.
  • We are looking for those who ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi from Hawaiʻi or the diaspora
  • You must be 18 years of age to participate.
  • The task will take no more than 60 minutes to complete.

In this study you will:

Part 1: rate and identify non-words (30 min)

Part 2: complete a language background questionnaire (15 min)

Part 3: fill out a survey regarding questions on your language attitudes (15 min)

If you participated in Study 1 or 2, this study will only take you 30 minutes (you will be able to skip parts 1 and 3).
