INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS:
A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY
There are various ways that relationships can be intimate, such as spending time together, sharing personal information, expressing feelings, being physically affectionate, or engaging in sexual behaviors. This study focuses primarily on intimate relationships that can be considered romantic or sexual. That includes dating, hooking up, seeing someone, having a girlfriend or boyfriend, courtship, marriage, and other casual or committed relationships.
How similar or different are intimate relationships across cultures? How are they influenced by social background, attitudes, and values? How do intimate relationships affect happiness and other aspects of well-being? This study will help researchers explore these issues. It will also provide a way for participants to evaluate their own intimate relationships and well-being. How satisfied are you with your intimate relationships? How happy are you with your life?
In order to participate you must be at least 18 years of age, so that you can legally consent. It should take about 30 minutes or longer to answer the questions, so begin when you have enough time to complete them. The questions are in four sections: Cultural and Social Background, Attitudes and Values, Intimate Relationships, and Well-Being.
It is important to try to answer every question. However, you may skip questions that you do not wish to answer, that do not apply to you, or for which you don't know the answer. The questions are designed to be answered in order; using the Back button on your browser will generate an error. Please answer the questions privately without discussing them with anyone else.
Your answers will be entirely anonymous. No IP addresses are collected. You may terminate your participation at any time without penalty. If you have any questions, you may contact the Chair of the Whittier College Human Subjects Protection Committee, Julie Collins-Dogrul, Ph.D., at jcollin5@whittier.edu, concerning approval number 2019F0005.
