Lesbian research assistance

[razzleccentric]

To all women who love women:

Hello! My name is Erin Doolin, and I am a doctoral student in the Counseling Psychology department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am interested in exploring how sexual minority women know that their community will be there for them. This study asks that you complete a series of questionnaires regarding your definition of community and how connected you feel to that community. I estimate that the questionnaires will take between 30-40 minutes to complete and they are located online.

If you are interested in participating in this study; identify as lesbian, bisexual, queer, or a woman who loves women; and are 18 years of age or older, please contact Erin Doolin at lesbiancommunity@gmail.com You are also welcome to email if you have any questions or concerns. The student's advisor on this project is Bill Hoyt, Ph.D., and he can be contacted at wthoyt@education.wisc.edu This study has been approved by the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Thank you so much for your participation and time!

I'm not in your target population, but a lot of my flist (which barely overlaps with yours) is. Would you like me to repost this on my LJ?

Also, if you're focusing at all on poly relationships, I could mention that; a lot of my friends fall into that demographic and I know that several of them have expressed interest in seeing research about it. If that's not a focus, that's cool & I won't mention it. I just bring it up because I think it would spark folks' interest.

Could someone explain to me how women who self-identify as lesbian are different from "a woman who loves women"?
