Couples Intimacy Observational Study

Participants are helping us to better understand how intimacy and emotions contribute to the sexual well-being of couples!

Purpose

We sought couples for a new research study on couples’ sexuality. The purpose of this study is to better understand how factors such as emotions and intimacy are linked to relational and sexual well-being of couples in long-term relationships. The data we collect may enhance treatments for couples looking to improve their relationships.

Participation

Participation involves both members of the couple completing 3 online questionnaires (over a 1-year period) and coming to our lab at Dalhousie University to engage in a series of brief video-taped discussion tasks. Couples can receive up to $160 in Amazon gift cards for their participation, plus a chance to win $100 more.

You and your partner may be eligible if you are:

Both at least 18 years of age

Living together for at least one year

– Able to attend one in-person session at Dalhousie University

– Able to read and understand English or French

Other eligibility requirements may apply.
