Hey, nice mice. This is from Cristina, who is doing research at the University of Virginia. She needs survey responses from newly engaged people. She's super nice, and it's just an internet survey--why not take a minute to help a grad student out? (They need all the boosts we can give them!) Here it is:

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!

Let me know how it goes! xo

P.S. I took the survey, and it's no biggie--about twenty-five minutes. Actually, it's interesting to do. It raises a lot of issues that I think engaged couples should probably be talking about, from money stuff to family stuff to career stuff.
