Daily Relationship Experiences Study 2023
Note: Recruitment for this study has ended. The 3-month follow-up surveys are still underway.
The purpose of this study was to examine couples’ daily relationship experiences, replicating previous work in a more local population. We were interested in a variety of experiences couples encounter on a day-to-day basis such as relationship quality, sexual quality, conflict, leisure activities, and so on. In this study, participants individually completed an online background survey (~60 minutes), a brief daily diary survey for 21 days (~10 minutes/day), as well as a 3-month follow-up survey (~15 minutes). This study received clearance by the Carleton University Research Ethics Board–B, Canada (clearance #105046).

The purpose of this pair of studies was to examine how close relationships (i.e., intimate relationships, friendships) were impacted by the stresses and social distancing measures imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Two groups of participants were recruited—one group of people who were in a romantic relationship, and one group of single people who were living alone during the lockdowns. Participants completed an initial background survey and then five subsequent weekly surveys. This study has received clearance by the Carleton University Research Ethics Board–B, Canada (clearance #105036).
