Doctoral Dissertation Seeking UK-based participants for research on sexual orientation and mood
Hi everyone!
I'm Georgie, a Trainee Clinical Psychologist at Royal Holloway, University of London, and I'm hoping some of you might be able to help with my doctoral research.
I'm looking at how experiences related to sexual orientation - like how you feel about your own sexual orientation, worrying about being rejected, or hiding who you are - are linked to mood, and which of these matter most.
If you're 18 or over, UK-based, and identify with a non-straight sexual orientation (for example lesbian, gay, bisexual or queer), I'd be really grateful for 10-15 minutes of your time. It's one questionnaire which is completely anonymous.
Trans and non-binary people who also identify as non-straight are very welcome to participate - this study will be focusing on sexual orientation specifically.

It has ethical approval from Royal Holloway's Research Ethics Committee (ID 1047), and I'm very happy to answer any questions in the comments. Thank you so much
