I am an undergraduate student at York University. My name is Stephanie Di Biase and I can be contacted at Stephanie.dibiase@gmail.com.

I am taking the course Advanced Research in Psychology. As a course requirement, I am working on a project whereby I need to collect information on the conflict resolution strategies people experience in interparental, parent-child and intimate relationships.

It should take about 20 minutes to complete the questionnaire which consists of measures of conflict levels and conflict resolution strategies.

You do not have to participate at all in my study, or, even if you agree now, you can terminate your participation at any time without prejudice. You also do not have to answer individual questions you don’t want to answer.

Your name will not be attached to the questionnaire and I will ensure that your participation remains confidential. (This consent form will be kept separate from the questionnaire for all participants.)

I can tell you that your responses may be included in the paper I will write at the conclusion of this assignment; however, your responses would be anonymous and nobody could connect your responses with you as an individual.

A benefit you may experience by participating in this study is greater knowledge of your own conflict resolution strategies as well as general experience with questionnaire-based research.

By participating in this study, you risk being upset or made uncomfortable by some of the questions asked.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at stephanie.dibiase@gmail.com or my supervising professor, Dr. Paul Kohn, at pkohn@yorku.ca
