The researcher's objective is to investigate
the relationship between childhood trauma and future aspirations. The
researcher plans to compare different types of childhood trauma as ranked data
against different types of future aspirations variables, also ranked. The first
goal is to examine how each type of trauma affects the aspiration categories by
comparing those who experienced trauma to those who did not. The researcher
plans to create a binary variable to separate people who did or did not
experience a traumatic event.
