Sexuality and Autism Spectrum Disorder ::

Melike Schalomon and Laura Gilmour
Department of Psychology, Grant MacEwan College, Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA

Purpose: We are interested in examining the relationship between sexuality and social behaviours associated with autism. As a participant in this study, you will be asked to complete an online questionnaire. Participation should not take longer than about 30 to 45 minutes. You will be asked a number of demographic questions about your age, gender, ethnic background, and psychiatric history (if any). You will also be asked questions about behaviours that can be used by us to assess whether or not you may be classified as a person with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Then you will be asked about your understanding about sexual terms and you will be asked questions about the types of sexual experiences you have had. Finally, you will be asked about your sexual desires and about your opinions about your own sexuality. Who is invited to participate in this research? We hope to collect data from about 1000 subjects, both those with Autism Spectrum Disorder, their family members, and members of the general population. Participants must have a sufficiently high level of verbal function to understand language comparable to what is used in this research description. Subjects must be legally classified as an adult (i.e. not a minor) and must be legally emancipated (i.e. must not have a legal guardian) to be eligible to participate in this research project.

No identifying details will be recorded on your questionnaire response so that your data will be completely anonymous and it will therefore not be possible to link your consent form to your questionnaire response or to the data arising from it. You will be assigned a code number to your data which only you will know, so if you wish to withdraw your data you will be able to do this by providing this to the investigator.

The Relationship between Parenting Practices and Childrens Emotion-Regulation Abilities; A Cross-Cultural Study ::

Sneha Jethmalani, Roslyn Galligan
Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australiaansonline.c

In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of research exploring the relationship between the ways in which we express our emotions and how that impacts our relationships with others. In particular, previous research has looked at how parents thoughts and feelings about their own and their children's emotions and behaviours relates to children's awareness of their own emotions and emotions of others. We would like to invite you to participate in a study about parents thoughts on their emotions and their childrens emotions, and how cultures differ in these patterns. The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of the factors that influence the ways in which children learn how to manage and express their emotions. The survey should take approximately 25 to 30 minutes to complete. We would truly appreciate your participation and honesty in your responses to the questions to enable us to understand the impact parents have on their childrens emotional functioning. We are seeking both mothers and teachers of children between the ages of 3 and 7 years to fill out the questionnaire. Mothers, if you choose to participate, you will be asked about your cultural orientation, your views and understanding of emotions, how you deal with your childrens emotions, and how they express their emotions. Your responses will be completely anonymous and confidential. Results of the study may be published in an academic journal, but only as group data, so that no individual will be identifiable. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. Your initial agreement to participate does not stop you from discontinuing participation and you are free to withdraw at any time. The submission of your questionnaire will be taken as consent for your data to be used in the study. Your interest in this study would be greatly appreciated.

Sense of Community and Personality Research Study ::

Kath Boekamp
Curtin University, Perth, Western Australiaonline pa

Most people know when they have a Sense of Community and when they don’t. There are many factors that contribute to the development of a Sense of Community. Some factors are Environmental (i.e., size of town/suburb), others are Individual factors (i.e. extroversion or optimism). Little research has been done on whether individual personality type factors have any bearing on how someone develops a Sense of Community. I’d like to invite you to take part in a study which will provide information to help us understand how people connect to their community as well as how we might support and even improve these connections. Each questionnaire includes instructions on the type of questions that will follow and the way to respond (such as giving a rating on a 5 point scale on how much you agree with a statement from very little to a lot). In total the survey should take you no longer than 30min, possibly less. All your responses to the questionnaires and personal information will be kept absolutely confidential. Your name will be converted to a code number, and only the anonymous group average data from all participants will be used for any published research.

You are invited to participate in a continuing online research project called the AASPIRE Gateway Project. The AASPIRE Gateway Project is recruiting participants with and without disabilities, and participants on the autism spectrum, for a series of continuing online studies on topics such as health care, Internet use, online sense of community, identity, problem solving, and perspective taking. The first step in joining the AASPIRE Gateway Project is completing the online AASPIRE Gateway Survey. The AASPIRE Gateway Survey asks about (a) personal information, such as age, gender, disability, education, and employment status, (b) information about which hand you prefer to use when doing activities such as writing with a pen or pencil, and (c) information about your personal preferences regarding interests, habits, and social interactions. Completing the AASPIRE Gateway Survey will take approximately 20-40 minutes.

Interpersonal Values and Political Orientation ::

Andrew Reilly, Arran Gare, Christine Critchley
Swinburne University of Technology

This study aims to investigate the relationship between peoples’ attitudes towards other people and their political values, as there has been very little research in this area to date. Interpersonal values are the values that people have concerning their interactions with other people. For example, some people enjoy spending time with others and working together, while other people prefer to spend time alone and working by themselves. All of these values can be considered to be important in some way, and the purpose of this study is to see whether they are related to the kind of political values people have. The purpose of this study is not to ‘pigeon-hole’ people, but to gain an understanding into how people’s values are expressed in our political systems.
Participants need to have voted in at least 3 elections in the last 10 years. Prize draw for $AU100 gift voucher.

Dissociation and Second Life ::

Francesca Collins
Monash University

Dissociation is when conscious mental processes are compartmentalised from each other. For example, day-dreaming, zoning out while playing computer games and holding a conversation while driving in heavy traffic all involve dissociation of consciousness. The Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) has been used to measure dissociation for over twenty years. I have found that the questionnaire is equally valid and reliable whether it is delivered via pen and paper or via the Web. Now I would like to find out whether it is just as valid and reliable when delivered in a virtual world like Second Life. Participation involves completing the DES, a 28-question questionnaire which takes about 10 minutes to complete and can be done in your own time. All you need is access to Second Life.
this study takes place in the virtual world, Second Life.
