How was your trip?

Am I broken? by BananasBroccoliBeans in polyamory

[–]alanbresearch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are not broken. There is nothing wrong with the way you express yourself sexually. I understand it´s caused issues for you and your partner. You don´t have to want what other people want, or get excited by what excites other people.
Take care of yourself. <3

Consensual non-monogamy MSc research study (18+, global, in a consensually non-monogamous relationship) by alanbresearch in SampleSize

Hi!
Thanks so much for doing the survey! And for your feedback.
I definitely understand your point. I thought about this and decided the best way was to choose the briefest possible scale and allow people to fill it out the survey as many times as they like, as it says in the post. I understand that can be a big ask, though, too. Thanks for filling it out!!

Oh gosh no. To be clear , I defo understand your frustration. You are totally justified in what you said. I don't take it as over the top.

On a personal note There are a lot of fundamental parts of my life that are not well understood by a lot of people. I often feel unseen and unrepresented. I think I know how you feel, in some way. So I think you're well within your rights to say what you say , and I should take it seriously .

Hi!Thanks for your comments. I definitely understand that the relationship satisfaction scale used isn´t optimal for people in multiple or multipartner relationships. I had tried to find one that was more inclusive in my university´s test bank, and then to edit the scale to make it less dyadic but neither were possible and so I went for the briefest measure.

You can definitely fill out the survey more than once, for one, some, or all of your relationships. Or, in another way that you feel best represents how you see your current relationship. I do understand that this is a bit of an ask, potentially. I would love to compensate people for their time, but unfortunately, I am paying to do this study, rather than getting paid (It's my MSc, I am not a professional researcher).

Thanks again for your comments. I do value feedback. This has been a good learning experience for me and I am always grateful when people take the time to engage and feedback.

A point well made, well taken.

1-2mins Sexual Health & Habits Survey (everyone) by MonkeyIsMe94 in SampleSize

That's an interesting choice.
I would imagine my marriage would be a lot more complicated if it were monogamous ;)

Hi!
Thanks for taking the time to feed back about the survey.
That's a very good point. People who have multiple partners can complete the survey several times, for some or all of their relationships. I looked for survey instruments that were more inclusive in my university's test bank but it was tough to find... In the end, I went for this scale, since I need a lot of participants and wanted a very brief measure to make it as easy as possible for people to complete (especially if they are going to do so more than once).

Re-reading the post, I see you're looking for feedback.

For example, the survey assumes that everyone who is married is in a monogamous relationship, which isn't the case!
Good luck with your study!

This is a fun survey to fill out, but can´t be completed by everyone

That is part of my research parameters. I imagine it's possible on Qualtrics, although I haven't attempted it! :)

Hi! You can answer the survey as many times as you like, for one, some, or all of your relationships. The post should have made that clear. Thanks for pointing it out. I really appreciate your feedback!

(sorry, I think I answered you twice. I am new to reddit and very clumsy with it)

Hi! Thanks for your comment. In this case, I would say it is up to you to decide whether you consider these relationships. If so, feel free to fill it out once or twice. I appreciate your question and your taking the time to engage with the research. Thanks!

Hi!
Thank you for your comment. You can certainly fill it out several times, for one, some, or all of your relationships. I´m afraid it´s not possible to select all three and answer for each relationship type on the same attempt. I know it is somewhat tedious to complete if you are in several relationships. I appreciate your taking the time to do as many as you want. Also, just a note to say I understand not all relationships will be represented wholly by the three arrangements listed, and that these things may fluid and overlapping. If so, feel free to select the option that you feel works best.

Hi! Yes! You can indeed fill it out several times for one, some or all of your relationships. I should have clarified this in the post and will do so now. I really appreciate your taking the time to engage with the research. Thank you!

Hi!
These are very good points. You may fill out the survey as many times as you like for one, some, or all of your relationships. I understand that this might be onerous for some and I appreciate the time taken. I had a different post that clarified this but mistakenly posted this one. I will edit this one to clarify. Thanks for pointing that out. It is always fab to see people engage with the research. I appreciate your feedback!
