Hello. My name is Jessica Reyna, and I am a senior at the University of Alaska Anchorage. I am currently collecting data for my senior research project. Thank you for choosing to participate in my reserach. This study aims at investigating relationship dynamics among college students. As a participant in this study you will be asked to fill out the following online questionnaire regarding information about past relationships, where you meet people, and questions about your personal characteristics, such as your age and socioeconomic status.
There are no direct benefits to the participant. However, on a societal level, the benefits of this study include a better understanding of some of the factors responsible for lasting relationships. By having a greater understanding of this topic, it will become feasible to increaes the likelihood of engaging in longer lasting relationships. Your responses will allow the reseracher to better understand the topic at hand. For this reason, it is important that you answer each question as honestly as possible. Your responses will be completely anonymous and confidential. A full explanation and rationale for this study will be provided upon the completion of this study.
There are no anticipated risks or inconveniences associated with participating in this study. While the questions will ask you to think about past relationships, it is not expected to be too intrusive or uncomfortable. The only cost to you is the time you will take to participate in this study.
Your identity will be treated with professional standards of confidentiality. The information obtained from your questionnaire will be reviewed and analyzed statistically in comparison to other responses; however, your identity will never be made known.
Participation in this study is completely voluntary. If for any reason you decide to withdraw from this study, there will be no penalizations.
Thank you for your time and participation. |

|
| What school do you currently attend? |

|

|
PART ONE:
Please answer each question with the answer you feel best describes you.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| Which would best describe your ethnicity? |
| |
|
|
|
| What is the highest grade or year of education you have completed? |
| |
|
|
|
| What religion best describes you? |
| |
|
|
|
| How often do you attend religious services? |
| |
|
|
|
| How would you describe your socioeconomic status? |
| |
|
|
|
| While growing up, what was your family's socioeconomic status? |
| |
|
|
|
|
| PART TWO: Part two is broken down into three sections. First, think about how much conscious effort you put into going to the different places in your community. SECTION A: Now think about the places that you put the MOST thought into choosing to go to. These are places that you may frequent at or be familiar with upon choosing it. For example, many students may plan a weekend getaway with freinds, choose to attend UAA instead of another university or no university at all, or choose to accept a certain job to work at. These should all be places that you intend to be at and have put a significant amount of thought into. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "not similar at all" and 10 being "very similar", please rate:
|
|
| How similar do you perceive people in these places to be to you in terms of attitudes? |
| |
|
|
|
| How similar do you perceive people in thse places to you in terms of temperament (e.g., a person's characteristic mode of emotional response; personality)? |
| |
|
|
|
| How similar do you perceive people in these places to you in terms of activities? |
| |
|
|
SECTION B. Now think about the places you put SOME thought into choosing to go to, but less thought than the places in Section A above. These are places that you may have intended to go to, but perhaps are less familiar with. For examples, you may choose to go skiing at Hilltop only because the roads to Alyeska (where you normally go) are closed, or you may choose to go to a certain bar just to try it out. These should all be placess that you had some intention of going to, if only it was merely to check them out.
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "not similar at all" and 10 being "very similar", please rate:
|
|
| How similar do you perceive people in these places to you in terms of attitudes? |
| |
|
|
|
| How similar do you perceive people in these places to you in terms of temperament (e.g., a personÂ’s characteristic mode of emotional response; personality)? |
| |
|
|
|
| How similar do you perceive people in these places to you in terms of activities? |
| |
|
|
SECTION C. Now think about the places that you put the LEAST thought into choosing to go to. These are places that you really had no intention of going to, but happened to end up there. For example, you may decide on the spur of the moment to eat at the McDonaldÂ’s on Tudor only because you were hungry when you drove by it, or you may wind up at a certain bar because you passed by it on your way to your normal bar. These should all be places that you had little to no intention of going to, but instead ended up there by random chance.
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "not similar at all" and 10 being "very similar", please rate:
|
|
| How similar do you perceive people in these places to you in terms of attitudes? |
| |
|
|
| |
| How similar do you perceive people in these places to you in terms of temperament (e.g., a personÂ’s characteristic mode of emotional response; personality)? |
| |
|
|
|
| How similar do you perceive people in these places to you in terms of activities? |
| |
|
|
|
|
PART THREE: Please take a moment to think about all the past relationships you have had. Once you have thought through all of your relationships take note of the LONGEST relationship, the SHORTEST relationship, and a relationship you feel falls somewhere in the MIDDLE, regarding length. If you have had only three relationships or less, use those.
Part three will be divided into 3 sections which will correspond with your three relationships. Please make note of which relationship you are being asked about before you begin to respond. SECTION ONE: Your LONGEST relationship
