PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR STUDY ON DIVORCE DECISION-MAKING
Alan Hawkins and Tamara Fackrell, researchers at Brigham Young University are launching an in-depth, interview study of individuals at the crossroads of divorce (i.e., thinking about divorce but not 100% decided) to understand better the thinking and decision-making processes involved. It seems strange, but there is very little research that directly addresses how individuals go about making the critical decisions to leave or stay. The researchers can conduct interviews (estimate 1.5 hours) over the phone or even more privately on the Web. Participants will receive a $60 gift VISA card in appreciation for their time. If you or someone you know would be eligible and interested in participating, or have questions about the study, please contact Tamara Fackrell myattorneymediator@gmail.com; for details.

- PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR STUDY ON SPIRITUALITY AND MARITAL SATISFACTION
Couples needed for a survey which takes approximately 10-15
minutes to complete online. One (1) study participant will win an Apple iPad as a thank you for your time and participation. Your participation is anonymous and confidential. PsychData is a reputable and secure web-based site with security features that ensures the confidentiality of your survey responses. This research study will examine the relationship between spirituality and marital satisfaction. Each spouse will independently answer the questions, and spouses do not need to complete the survey at the same time. If you are currently married and over the age of 18 you are eligible to participate, and if you and your spouse complete the questionnaire you will be eligible to win the Apple iPad 2. Jason Karampatsos, the study's lead author, is a Ph.D. candidate in the Pastoral Counseling
department of Loyola University Maryland. The link to the survey is:
