My sister Alicia’s friends Becky and Greg are trying to win the ultimate wedding contest. Apparently Becky was just recently diagnosed with a rare cancer. If you’d like to help them towards their dream wedding, please vote for them here.
You have to register, but that only takes an extra two clicks. Thanks to all who help.
One last survey from Theresa! I’ll let her take over here:
Dear Mike D Readers,
First: A huge THANK YOU for those of you who have participated in our research so far. These are publishable research projects, meaning your responses are a real and important contribution to psychological science. We cannot do research without volunteers like you. Thank you.
We are still collecting data on both of the previously posted studies, including the most recent on sexual and emotional jealousy, http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TM8YP65. Our data collection will continue for a short while longer, after which we will analyze our data and I’ll post a summary of the results. These will likely be posted in April. Should we publish our findings, I will certainly let you all know. Thank you again.
As a final study of interest (for at least the short while!), here is another opportunity to contribute to science!
ATTENTION DOG OWNERS: Are you interested in the psychology of pet ownership? This is a special invitation to those dog-owning readers of Mike D’s website. I’m supervising a student research project that investigates relationship processes and how people feel about their pet dogs. So we are inviting people like you – who have a pet dog – to take the survey. We want useful, generalizable results, so my student is trying to recruit a sample of adult people who own dogs (since this is tough with a college-aged crowd). If you have 10 minutes and feel like filling out a survey, we’d appreciate it! The survey asks questions about your beliefs about relationships in general and feelings about your pet, and all responses are confidential and anonymous. The study takes less than 10 minutes.

Again, big thanks to those of you who are up for helping our research! Will share the results as soon as they become available.
– Theresa
All responses are anonymous and confidential. You must be at least 18 to participate. This study is a Loyola University Maryland Research Study that has been approved by Loyola’s Institutional Review Board.
My sister Theresa, Social Psychologist extraordinaire, is looking for more survey participants. She writes the following:
Hello everyone,
Here is another opportunity to contribute to psychology research. This project is a Loyola University Maryland research study being conducted by one of my students. The study explores jealousy and we need a pretty large sample size for the nature of the questions being asked, we’d appreciate your help! All responses are confidential and anonymous. I will have Mike D post the research findings when we have them – thanks very much for your help!

Dear readers of Mike D’s website:
I am working on a research study and am looking for volunteers – at the current time, I am in particular need of male participants. This study takes 10 minutes or so and involves articulating your general impressions of different social groups.

All responses are confidential and anonymous. I’m looking for your honest impressions. This study has been approved by the Loyola University Maryland Institutional Review Board. If you have any questions about the study, please email me: tedidonato@loyola.edu
Thank you!
NOTE: I am supervising a few research projects this spring (one is specifically for people who own dogs and one is about jealousy). I will extend the opportunity to participate to all you! Stay tuned! Your help is much appreciated!
