An Examination of Workplace Heterosexism

Description of the research and your participation

You are invited to participate in a research study conducted by Dr. Mary Anne Taylor, along with her research assistant, Phillip Lipka. The purpose of this research is to examine the negative effects of workplace heterosexism and identify factors that can help to reduce these effects.

Your participation will involve filling out 11 brief surveys.

The amount of time required for your participation will be roughly 20 minutes.

It is expected that about 400 individuals will participate in the current study.

Risks and discomforts

There is a slight risk of emotional upset since the survey will require you to answer questions regarding heterosexism at work.

Potential benefits

Research that identifies the factors that help GLB individuals cope in heterosexist workplaces is extremely limited. Your participation in this study can help us contribute to the level of existing knowledge in this area.
