Faculty Comments:“

There are more up to date citations but still several places that need more depth.

There have been some updates here, but need to be clearer about how this study would address a need to add to the psychological knowledge base.

There is also the issue of the RQ sounding quant but this looking like a qual study. This is a major alignment issue that is a carry over from previous submission.
