You are asked to participate in a research study within the Department of Psychology at the University of Windsor. This study is being conducted by Anna Arcuri, M.A. under the supervision of Dr. Cheryl D. Thomas and Dr. Josee Jarry, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree. This study is supported by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and has been reviewed and cleared by the Research Ethics Board (REB) at the University of Windsor.

If you have any questions or concerns about the research, please feel free to contact Anna Arcuri at [email protected]; Dr. Cheryl Thomas at [email protected] or

519.253.3000 Ext. 2252; or Dr. Josee Jarry at [email protected] or 519.253.3000 Ext. 2237.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The purpose of this study is to evaluate thoughts, feelings, and behaviours among long- term romantic partners.

PROCEDURES

If you are eligible to volunteer to participate in this study, you will complete a number of online questionnaires that inquire about your current romantic relationship. Your partner will also complete a number of online questionnaires. The total length of time for

participation is approximately 50 minutes per partner. Please complete the

questionnaires separately from your partner and do not discuss your responses until he or she has completed the study as well. If you wish, you may discuss your responses

with your partner after you both complete the study. POTENTIAL RISKS AND DISCOMFORTS

There are no known or expected physical, psychological, emotional, financial, or social risks associated with participating in this study. However, some questions inquire about your romantic relationship and experiences that some people may find mildly distressing. Participation in this study may impact the way you or your partner think and feel about your relationship. You are free to withdraw from the study at any point, if you wish. If you do experience mild distress, please visit http://www.cmha/ca/bins/index.asp for a list of Canadian Mental Health Association offices or visit http://www.casp-

http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/library/famlf2/mf2297.pdf for couples’ resources about relationships.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS TO SUBJECTS AND/OR TO SOCIETY

The information gathered may further the understanding of the study of romantic relationships among long-term, unmarried partners. Findings may contribute to the development of pre-marital couples education counselling and the prevention of potential divorce. Participation in this study may also positively impact the way you or your partner think or feel about your relationship.

COMPENSATION FOR PARTICIPATION

After your partner completes the online study, he or she will be asked to select either a Famous Players Cineplex Odeon Movie Package (2 Admissions, 2 Soft Drinks, and Popcorn) or a $20 Shell Canada Gift Card and provide an address where compensation will be mailed.
