Hi there,

We are a research team at Western University, and we are actively recruiting non-monogamous couples for a paid 12-week diary study. 

We understand that although those who identify as non-monogamous have fulfilling and loving relationships, they still face discrimination as society largely assumes monogamy to be the “default setting” in partnerships. It is our hope that through research, a broader understanding of these relationships can help to dispel some of the stigma these relationships may face.

You are eligible for this study if:

• You have only one partner you would consider as your main or primary partner
• You and your main partner are in a consensually non-monogamous relationship
• You and/or your main partner regularly engage in intimate/sexual activity outside of your relationship
• Both you and your partner are at least 24 years old
• Both you and your partner are willing to participate

After you and your partner each complete an initial 10-minute survey, you will be emailed a 5-minute survey each week for 12 weeks. You will be compensated up to $40 ($80 per couple). Compensation is based on the number of surveys completed. 

Your participation will create meaningful advancements in relationship science, and we thank you for your consideration. We invite you to respond fully and honestly; the goal of this research is to be inclusive, supportive, and free of judgement.

If you and your partner think you may be eligible and are interested in participating, please email us at: [[email protected].](mailto:[email protected]) For more information about our lab, visit us at www.relationshipdecisions.org.

Warmly,
