I am currently researching the differences between gay and straight males and their online dating experiences. I am currently a senior Psychology major at Knox College in Galesburg, IL.

I am investigating the coping patterns, satisfaction, and stress within romantic relationships in lesbians, gay males, and transgendered individuals through a survey format. This anonymous online survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Participants must be in a committed romantic relationship that has lasted for at least 6 months and must be at least 18 years or older. I am hoping that this data will one day be used to inform public opinion and policy. Also, this research will help clinicians continue to provide evidence-based treatment to couples in need. The LGBTQ community is an under-researched population and this research helps to fill in some gaps that currently exist.

To date, a great deal of literature has shown that female mate preferences vary across the menstrual cycle. For example, literature suggests that at particular times of the cycle women prefer greater masculinity in their partner. In spite of the growing literature on this topic, little research has investigated how preferences vary across the menstrual cycle among homosexual women. The aim of this study is to do just that.

To take part in this research you must be female and identify as homosexual. You need not currently be in a romantic relationship.

If you choose to take part in this research you will be asked to complete three short questionnaires on different days.

The first questionnaire can be completed immediately and will take under 5 minutes. It will ask you to report basic demographic information and information about your menstrual cycle stage and hormonal contraceptive pill use. You will also be asked to leave an email address which we can contact you at for the duration of the study.

After the completion of your first questionnaire, based on your reported menstrual cycle stage, we will email you at two points of interest in the following month and ask that you to complete a series of questionnaire items.

The second and third questionnaires will take 20 minutes and will ask you to report information with respect to the dynamics of your romantic relationship, your sexual function, your attitudes towards sex, personality, jealousy, dominance and competitive behaviour. Following this you will be asked to rate the attractiveness of a series of male and female faces. You will also be presented with pairs of faces and asked to indicate which individual is more attractive.

If at any time during this research you feel uncomfortable you are free to withdraw your participation. You are also free to skip any questions you feel uncomfortable answering. All participation is voluntary.

Note that upon completion of this study your data will be made confidential by deleting the email you provided from our data.

If you have any questions please contact Kelly Cobey (kelly.cobey@stir.ac.uk).

This research study is concerned with perceived parenting styles and sexual orientation. We are seeking to discover if parenting style, as reported from your viewpoint, has an impact on certain aspects of sexual orientation.

Andrew Bauerband, a graduate student in experimental psychology at Towson University, is conducting research on thoughts about sexual orientation for a Master’s thesis, and currently recruiting people to take an online survey. To participate you must be 18 years or older, live in the United States, and identify as a sexual minority (anyone who does not identify with a heterosexual orientation).

An LGBQ individual’s thoughts about their sexual orientation may help researchers understand ways in which a sexual minority conceptualizes and processes their identity. This study seeks to develop a way for researchers to reliably interpret differences in how a person views their sexual orientation. The online survey takes about 20 minutes to complete and asks you to rate how often you think about certain things. This study has been approved by Towson University’s Institution Review Board for the protection of human participants.

Please follow the link below to complete the survey and feel free to pass this link along to any friends who you think may be interested!
