Pinkboard Graffiti Wall - Surveys, Studies, Questionnaires

YAY NEW WALL ... YAY NEW WALL

I’m a researcher at Macquarie University in Sydney carrying out my PhD on domestic violence in same-sex couples.

This survey takes about 30 minutes to complete, and asks you to provide some background information about yourself, your relationship history and any experiences with conflict and abuse. You do not need to have been in an abusive relationship to fill out the survey. Some of the questions are of a personal nature, but all results are completely anonymous.

The results will be used to gain a better understanding of who, and how many, within our community have experienced domestic violence, and how this has affected their lives. It will also provide much needed information to develop support services for those who have experienced domestic violence.

For more information, or to complete the survey, please go to http://laurel.ocs.mq.edu.au/~afran022

Is there a payment to do the survey ?

Sorry - it's a non-profit survey for my degree aimed at helping people within the community. No money is available to pay for participation.

Male Volunteers Wanted


Hello, we are Anita Galluccio, Libby Churchett and Dr. Yolanda Martins, from the School of Psychology at Flinders University. We are conducting a study on body image in gay men, examining issues that have been understudied in the past. We have recently conducted a pilot study that asked men to identify what physical appearance concerns they have. Overwhelmingly, it was reported that the following 4 items were of the greatest concern to men: body hair, head hair, height and penis size. Consequently, these physical characteristics will be investigated in further detail in the current study.

Any gay male, aged between 18 and 40 is eligible to participate. We would greatly appreciate if you would assist us by donating your time and complete a survey which examines these issues. No more than twenty minutes of your time would be required on one occasion. Please note that this survey does not request any identifying information from you – your responses will be anonymous and confidential.


If you are willing to participate please follow the weblink below to the survey. If you know of any other men who might like to participate, it would be greatly appreciated if you would forward this message on to them or direct them to this page.

Please note that the survey is password protected. You must type in the user name and password below to access the survey.

If you have any comments or questions about this survey please feel free to contact Dr Yolanda Martins at yolanda.martins@flinders.edu.au

Please note that while every effort is made to ensure this weblink is secure, this cannot be guaranteed. Thus, it is possible (though not likely) that upon submission/transmission of the completed web survey, other individuals may be able to access your responses. Your anonymity and confidentiality would still be ensured under these circumstances since (1) no identifying information is requested of you, and (2) only numerical codes, without the corresponding questions are submitted.

Finally, this study has been approved by the Flinders University Social and Behavioural Research Ethics Committee.


Thankyou for your time,

I'm doind some research into gay men + rock music for a newspaper article.

Focusing on the lack of conncetion between rock and male homosexual audiences, I am expolring the broader issue of whether Australia's gay culture lacks diversity and progress, in terms of venues, events, icons, etc.

Anyone care to rant to me about their own music tastes? Frustration at the lack of indie/rock/diverse gay clubs? Or explain or dispel the stereotypes of gay men listening only to diva ballads and house/disco?

Please get in touch! sunday_fr@mail.com

Is there a fee / payment for my time if I wish to participate ?

Generally people take part in such surveys because of the greater good that it would do for our community. Monetary compensation shouldn't be a consideration if it only takes you a few minutes to complete a survey that would be valuable in assisting people in a similar situation to yourself.

Hi,

I am a student from The University of Adelaide. I will conduct a study which will look at your personal characteristic and your grief responses after experiencing a death-related loss. The study will use a questionnaire as a tool. It only takes 15 minutes to complete. It can be emailed or post to you as you desire. So, If you are

(1) over 21 yrs
(2) homosexual male
(3) having a death-related loss, such as family, partner and friends etc.

You are more than welcome to join the study. Please kindly share the study information to your friends as well. If you would like to join, please contact: ching-jung.lee@adelaide.edu.au

Is there a fee, gift or payment for my valuable time if I wish to participate in this survey. Please advise.

Thank you for your valuable time if you join. It is an academic study which is in order to prove the counselling service. Your contribution is beneficial to the homosexual group. Sorry, it couldn't offer any practical rewards to your few minutes, but you can create enormous interest to you other people.

You've really got to loathe those researchers who started this whole "do my survey and you'll get twenty bucks" mentality. It just brings out the worst in people.

I'd be interested to know if both "what will I get $$$ for my time" postings came from the same IP address. Perhaps that kind of attitude might be of significance and should be reported within the research report. that would make an interesting study in itself.

Nobody should ever expect that everyone will want to give their valuable time for free. To do so is simply being naive.

Time is money in the current world we live in. Nobody should be critisised because they may require a payment in exchange for their time and thoughts.

Each to their own.

I wish the people putting on this survey well and hope they get lots of free volunteers. I just wont be one of them.

Please dont put down people that want payment for their time, in these days of rush rush rush to expect compensation for ones time and thoughts is not unreasonable.

Thank you for your opinion and support. There is no criticism or judgement about a payment or a reward. But indeed, if the study could offer some, the participation rate might be increased. But unfortunately, the study did not get any funding from anyone, therefore, it has a difficulty to offer any practical rewards. Hopefully, you can understand it. If any word has been offended you, it is unwitting, please receive my sincere apology. The study is still looking for voluntary participants ( homosexual male + > 21 yrs, + have experienced a death-related loss). If anyone meets the critirias and would like to join the study, please contact: ching-jung.lee@adelaide.edu.au

Next people will be demanding payment for their posts (on a free forum) regardless of quality or content. In the time it takes to read through all the argument about payment vs volunteering, you could have visited and completed the survey.

Wouldn't you like a say in how resources should be allocated if you find yourself in a sitation where you've lost someone and your sexuality inteferes with the normal grieving process?
