New Study on Marriage Needs Participants
By Andy Heath
I received the following email from a doctoral student at the University of Virginia. I'm not entirely sure if gay couples are eligible to participate or not, but it's worth a shot. You can email Ms. Reitz-Krueger at survey.couples@gmail.com for more information on her study. I publish this as a public service announcement, and I have no knowledge of this study's validity, nor have I met Ms. Reitz-Krueger, so please thoroughly investigate before participating or providing any personal information.
Engaged volunteers needed!
I am looking for volunteers for a study of attitudes towards marriage and parenthood among engaged couples. The study consists of a 25-30 minute online survey. To qualify for the study, you must be 20-35 years old, live in the U.S., and plan to marry or have a commitment ceremony within the next 365 days. You and your romantic partner must not have children, and this must be the first marriage for both of you.
You can:
Help a doctoral candidate;
Increase the pool of scientific knowledge;
Support research on marriage and families; and
Spend some time thinking about your relationship!
I am working with Dr. Charlotte J. Patterson, a Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia. This study has been approved by the University of Virginia Institutional Review Board #2009025800.
If you and/or your romantic partner are interested in participating or want further information, please email me at survey.couples@gmail.com. I will send you a link that you can use to access the study.
Thanks!
