Engaged couples needed for research
Oct 29th, 2009 by Katie
Hmmm… that headline sounds a bit scary, doesn’t it?! But don’t worry, it’s not for a gruesome Halloween experiment, it’s for a Doctoral Student at the University of Virginia who is doing a study of attitudes towards marriage and parenthood in engaged couples.
Cristina Reitz-Krueger got in touch with us as she thought our lovely Ethical Weddings readers might be just the people to help her out.
If you are between 20 and 35, live in the US and are planning to get married or have a commitment ceremony in the next 365 days, Cristina would be really grateful if you could assist her in her research by completing a 25-30 minute online survey.
In Cristina’s words, you would be able to:
- help a doctoral candidate
- increase the pool of scientific knowledge
- support research on marriage and families
- spend some time thinking about your relationship!
Cristina is working with Dr. Charlotte J. Patterson, a Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia. The study has been approved by the University of Virginia Institutional Review Board #2009025800.
If you and/or your romantic partner would like to get involved or want more info, please email Cristina at survey.couples@gmail.com. She will then send you a link that you can use to access the study.
