Another BI research survey

[leizy]

Here is another BI research survey. I always support more academic research. It is real, and nonjudgemental.

Details on the researcher are available at the site.

If you identify as bisexual, reside in the US, are 18+ years old, and
would like to take my survey, please follow this link:

David,
Your survey link didn't work, even when I did delete all of the spaces and complete the URL correctly.

What is your survey about?

[MarieDelta]

There are spaces that seem hidden(in the last part of the URL), when deleted the URL worked fine.

this is the link I used (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=9ZqKCBgYghd1O 2HwjiTf6g_3d_3d)

hey thanks Marie!

Your link worked for me.

I'm going to give this survey to friends of mine.

Any idea if we'll see the results of the survey?

[TaylorMade]

I did the survey.... kind of a ... it's not gonna take anything off of me... so why not?

*Taylor*

[creach]

Hmmmm well wot about us Brits then? SIGH!!

I haven't even tried the link as I don't reside in the US!!

[deeTM]

I started to take the survey but it seems that it is geared to those that are "out". Since I'm not, I haven't been subjected to any negative reaction to my sexuality.

Alrighty I did it.....happy now....lol :bipride: :)

[greygoose]

I just finished the survey. I'm really interested to see the results or important findings once they are done and have analyzed their data. :bibounce:

[JoyJoyHollywood]

Thank you for the link Marie Delta, it was very helpful.

I took it too. It was okay-a good survey. I wonder why they want to know if I get headaches though?

[MarieDelta]

Headaches can be a symptom of depresion and or bipolar disorder.

Oh. Well......hmmm. Thank you for telling me Marie Delta. Sneaky scientists.

[bim469ky]

Same here deetm, im not either so didnt take it. So your not alone. :bipride:

Hey Marie that is interesting....hmmm since they did not ask much about the headaches I wonder.....where do I fit in I live in East Texas and between the pine trees and the pollen who doesn't have a headache.....lol :)

[meteast chick]

Wow that was a long survey!

Alot of it dealt with the negative aspect of being bisexual, which I have only received from the gay community, but by and large, it's been fine and dandy, and nobody has or will ever make me feel like less of a person because of my sexuality!

luv and kisses,

I took it, too. The only problem I saw was when they asked about who knew you were out. They listed siblings, but didn't break it down. I've told family I was closest too, but others less close don't know. The survey didn't allow for split answers.

[MarieDelta]

They asked more questions about depression, because it (depression) can have different symptoms for different ppl.

I have Major Clinical Depression (It's chemical :rolleyes: ), so I learned when I was researching it, all about the symptoms.

Joy Joy Hollywood, yes they are sneaky, and I wonder if sometimes it wouldn't be better just to say: "Are you depressed?"

But then what about undiagnosed ppl?

So I suppose they know what they are doing :cool:

Dee.

I'm not out either, and I felt the same way. I quit less than halfway through. It seemed a little naive, or maybe biased toward a certain group of bisexuals - call it the stereotypical bisexuals.

[leizy]

Thanks all - especially Marie for fixing the link! I'm not saying the survey is perfect. But, it's one more that is out there, and hopefully one more chink in the brick wall. There are a few research studies out there that have looked at the stigma of bisexuality. You may not be aware, but the only group that is more stigmatized than bisexuals are IV drug users. Note, that list included lawyers - so, bisexuals are below lawyers. That always makes me sad. And, many gays and homosexuals perpetuate the stigma against bisexuals - green lantern (on this site) wrote about an interaction he had with a gay activist, who acknowledged that bisexuals stand in the way of gay rights, because bisexuals scare heterosexuals (we're invisible, among them, we could be your husband or wife, we're the Bisexual Pod People!!!!).

So, I believe that this survey is looking at the reactions people have gotten from various groups, including gays. And, it's by reputable researchers.

cheers. and on behalf of the researcher, thanks!!

I answered your survey - I hope it helps :)

[MarieDelta]

Thanks all - especially Marie for fixing the link!

My pleasure. Anytime I can help :)

[leizy]

BTW - the researcher checked out this thread, and passed her specific appreciation to me, expressing how interesting and helpful it was to read people's reactions to the survey...

cheers.

I noticed that the survey was geared to those that were "out" to others. As for me, only my wife knows. They should have had a section for those who are not "out", then I think it would give more insight into the bisexual of today seeing that most of us do keep it secret.
