Are you currently involved in a romantic relationship, but not married?
Have you been involved in a romantic relationship in the last three years?
Do you self identify as an active member of social networking sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, etc?
If yes, then please think about participating in a research focus group designed to better understand how partners in romantic relationships make privacy decisions about social networking sites and text messaging.
For example, do you let your partner access your phone? Why or why not? Do you allow your partner to log on to your social networking sites? Do you ever talk about what is allowed or not allowed via Facebook or texting?
If you are interested in participating in a focus group at Queens University in Charlotte to discuss how communication in the digital age presents new challenges for romantic relationships, please contact me at sweatm@queens.edu.
Food and refreshments will be provided- so come hungry!
Focus groups will be held in late January through mid February.
