Our honours student, Ana Carolina de Barros, is seeking bisexual participants to participate in her research study on the positive aspects of identifying as bisexual. These aspects include freedom from labels, the acceptance and understanding of others, and the freedom to explore diverse relationships and experiences. You will also be asked questions about constructs such as satisfaction with life (how satisfied you are with your life as it is), outness (how open you are abou...t your sexual identity in your day-to-day life), and group identity (how much you identify with the bisexual community). The survey takes approximately 20 minutes and is completely anonymous.
