Some people may remember the research study I conducted last year, if our social networks overlap outside of the message board (I recruited through poly social events, social networking sites, and word of mouth). I presented the preliminary findings at the International Conference on the Future of Monogamy and Nonmonogamy in Berkeley in February ("Variations in Situational Affect in Monogamy and Polyamory"). Even though that study was originally designed as a pilot study, the mixed methods approach really gave us a lot to work with and we were able to collect enough valuable information to (hopefully) be able to publish some of the findings soon; I'm working on the paper now. In addition, we (as of yesterday) have launched the newest iteration of this research (although we don't currently have plans to conduct in-person interviews for this one).
I feel very blessed to have had the amazing support from many folks in the Consensually Non-Monogamous (especially poly) communities for our previous study, especially those who were gracious enough to spread the word and share the survey links within numerous poly networks. We had an amazing response from the poly community, which is what has made it possible to move into this new phase of the research. We couldn't have collected this data without the help!
Now that the new survey is live, I am asking for community support and networking skills once again. During the pilot study, we had some challenges getting an adequate number of thorough monogamous responses, but it appears the tables have turned this time: we already have over 250 monogamous respondents, so we desperately need to get the word out to the CNM community. If you have networks that you're able/willing to share this research link with, I'd be very much appreciative if you'd do so (i.e. Listservs, Facebook groups, Twitter, local events, etc.), to the fullest extent that you are able.

I truly appreciate your willingness to help by participating and getting the word out about this research study, so thank you in advance! If you'd like to share on your social networks, I can email a copy of the recruiting flyer, or you can "share" my status updates from my social networking page on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/senseappeal.doctorizzo) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/Sense_Appeal).
