    Hi Everybody!

    I am a researcher from Sweden and I am currently conducting a study on online relationships and friendships. Our study particularly focuses on online deception and catfishing (like the MTV show). However, even if you have not experienced this you can still take part!

    I am not sure if I can post the link here, so could someone let me know if I can or if this violates rules?

    Also, if you are interested I am not sure if maybe I can send it to you in a PM?

    Thanks!

    Hiya!

    I have seen a research link posted by the Staff/Admin here on behalf of someone else, so perhaps contact a member of staff so they can talk to you about the study, and of course validate it and approve the posting for it.

    Hi,

    All site-related research needs to be approved by the staff and meet all ethics review requirements. Please contact the staff directly. It is not an uninteresting topic, but it requires oversight.

    Thanks!

    I'd be happy to take part if it is approved and all that.

    Make sure that it's approved by the moderators first before going through with it. :slight_smile:
