**Chatting with Friends Study (18+)**

TL;DR: [\~30 minute survey for adults (18+)](https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/6259760/CWF?source=Rb) about the nature of conversations with people you're close to! Includes personalized feedback and would really help me write my dissertation.

Hi everyone, and thanks r/bpd mods for approving this research survey post!

I am a graduate student at the University of Rochester, and I'm looking for people to participate in my online dissertation survey, which focuses on how people talk about personal problems and feelings with the people they are closest to. The survey takes about 25-30 minutes to complete and provides personalized feedback based on your responses. In particular, we know a lot less about with whom/when/why men have these conversations and what these conversations are like, so I would so appreciate your help with this project!

*Note: It will ask about recent conversations (in the last month) and is open to non-US participants- the only restriction is that we unfortunately not recruiting participants located in the UK or EEU at this time (but I definitely would like to in the future!).*

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for reading this far!
