Hello Everyone!

My name is Amy and I am a graduate student at the University of Rochester. I am writing because I am conducting an online relationship survey for my dissertation. I also conducted an online survey for my master’s thesis for which I received many participants from your website and I thank you so much for that! If you are interested in participating in the survey I have posted the details below. Please feel free to email me with any questions and I thank you in advance for your help!!!

The Honesty in Relationships Study:

1. Is voluntary and anonymous (or confidential if participating in follow ups)
2. Can be completed online
3. Is SHORT (takes 20-25 minutes)
4. Will offer you extensive feedback on your personality and your relationship.
  - 5 empirically validated dimensions of Personality and Well-being
  - 5 empirically validated dimensions of Relationship Quality / Functioning

5. Includes optional follow up surveys
  - Brief surveys (8-12 min)
  - Occurring at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 months after the initial survey

I looked through the survey, you can’t be serious. 😲  
Some of the questions are so badly asked that they need surveys of their own to make them in any way answerable with a single word or phrase.  
The evaluations force your ideals of what a personality or relationship should be, and can only help to confuse someone who isn’t aware of the ineptitude of this survey.

I know you can’t be for real though. Really. Come on. ![[-X](https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a8041fe32d5c63bbc6616e748e6b50af85839764.gif "Shame on you") ![[-X](https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a8041fe32d5c63bbc6616e748e6b50af85839764.gif "Shame on you") ![[-X](https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a8041fe32d5c63bbc6616e748e6b50af85839764.gif "Shame on you")

‘‘Do you listen to the music of Diane Sarsfield’’ or some such question.  
This is definately a bad practical joke ‘‘Amy’’ if that is your real name.

ROFL I am so tempted to do the survey and really skew the bell curve in a twisted way, but, being harrassed every month or so holds me back. 😆

I just find it odd that they ask the relationship status, and they include “single” as one of the options, only to continue asking questions about your partner. Who am I supposed to respond about, my right hand?

I would, but I’d break my concentration. Not that I do stuff like that.

And maybe Amy/Ronald has multiple personalities? Or someone who will soon be receiving a sex change? The possibilities are endless… well, I guess that was the majority of the possibilities.

Well quit getting into relationships, start a new trend. Get a few Tshirts that declare what you want in a woman. Turn yourself into a walking billboard for the ladies. Take the guess work out.

I’m more curious in why she’s Amy and then she’s Ronald, and she first gives a rochester.edu email address then a gmail address. It’s so confusing, I don’t know who to believe anymore!
