Reeesearch Yes, yes, I'm wondering that, too. Requests for research, and participation in research, can feel so impersonal. I mean, it IS impersonal, to some extent. I'm all biased because I'm a geek, and I find it meaningful to participate in research, but as a researcher I likely have a...

Commitment MightyMax, while your spin on our research is bizarre (in terms of how to treat secondaries), I can clarify another point: "commitment", for the purposes of our study, means whatever it means to you. If you believe you have a committed relationship, then you have a committed...

Dagferi, I think I can speak for the other researchers here: Before we understood the scientific method and how to conduct psychological research, it seemed like we should be able to answer larger questions with one study, or more than just a couple questions with one study. We found, after...

Helpful thread I just want to thank everyone who offered feedback. Despite frustrations, it's really helped us clarify what we will include in our discussion of the limitations of this study.

The survey begins with some screening questions. If you don't qualify, it won't let you proceed (because that would be silly). If you do, it will. And yay! Thanks much for taking the time. If you're in a committed relationship or legally married (because the two don't necessarily go together)...

no marriage needed No need to be legally married at all. Thanks for your time!

Attachment behavioral system There's no valid criticism of the empirical research that people have an innate, primal, hierarchy among attachment figures. In fact, this wasn't Bowlby's work, but later researchers. It's sound worldwide -- at least among children. And it's not a dismissal of...

Couple privilege and restricting study Dagferi and opalescent, thanks much for your thoughts and for your valuable time and consideration. As a researcher it is always painful for me to take a broad wish for research and winnow it down to research-able questions. In any given study, a...

Greetings! Along with faculty and a doctoral candidate at Indiana University, I'm interested in learning about consensual non-monogamy. We are looking for adults over the age of 18, who are married or in a committed relationship with at least one other person, and have been or are now in a...
