- PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR STUDY ON DIVORCE DECISION-MAKING
Alan Hawkins and Tamara Fackrell, researchers at Brigham Young University
are launching an in-depth, interview study of individuals at the crossroads
of divorce (i.e., thinking about divorce but not 100% decided) to understand
better the thinking and decision-making processes involved. It seems
strange, but there is very little research that directly addresses how
individuals go about making the critical decisions to leave or stay. The
researchers can conduct interviews (estimate 1.5 hours) over the phone or
even more privately on the Web. Participants will receive a $60 gift VISA
card in appreciation for their time. If you or someone you know would be
eligible and interested in participating, or have questions about the study,
please contact Tamara Fackrell <myattorneymediator at gmail.com> for details.

- PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR STUDY ON SPIRITUALITY AND MARITAL SATISFACTION
Couples needed for a survey which takes approximately 10-15
minutes to complete online. One (1) study participant will win an Apple iPad
2 as a thank you for your time and participation. Your participation is
anonymous and confidential. PsychData is a reputable and secure web-based
site with security features that ensures the confidentiality of your survey
responses. This research study will examine the relationship between
spirituality and marital satisfaction. Each spouse will independently answer
the questions, and spouses do not need to complete the survey at the same
time. If you are currently married and over the age of 18 you are eligible
to participate, and if you and your spouse complete the questionnaire you
will be eligible to win the Apple iPad 2. Jason Karampatsos, the
study's lead author, is a Ph.D. candidate in the Pastoral Counseling
department of Loyola University Maryland. The link to the survey is:

­ PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR UNEMPLOYED MARITAL SURVEY

Are you and/or your spouse unemployed?
I am seeking couples to complete a brief online questionnaire on how
unemployment impacts marriages in the current economy.  Your participation
and your responses will be kept confidential.
