Hello,

I am conducting a study about polyamorous relationships, and I was
hoping you could forward the message at the end of this email to your
mailing list.

I previously conducted a study on reasons for becoming polyamorous and
two main reasons emerged: polyamory as an identity and polyamory as an
adaptation to relationship circumstances. As you know, there is a
strong bias in our culture against forms of non-monogamy. Although
there have been a few studies on polyamory by sociologists,
psychologists have ignored polyamory in their research. I hope this
study will increase our understanding of relationships with multiple
partners.

This survey is anonymous and has been approved by the Simon Fraser
University Research Ethics Board. It will take about 20 minutes to
complete. I will make the results of this study available after
completion in April 2012.
