Dear Student:

I am a doctoral student at West Virginia University. Under the supervision of my advisor, Dr. Jeffrey Daniels, I am conducting dissertation research to determine the differential effect of attachment styles on the quality of romantic relationships and levels of depressive moods between international students from Taiwan or China and American students. We would like to invite you to participate in this study and to also forward the "invitation to participate" to other students who may also be interested in this study.

In this study, we are asking you to complete a demographic questionnaire, six open-ended questions, and three measures of quality of romantic relationships, attachment styles, and moods.

The criteria for the American student group are 1) students currently enrolled in a university or college for undergraduate or graduate level studies in the United States; 2) currently involved in a dating relationship, cohabitation, or marriage; 3) identifying as American (born and raised in the United States, second generation or beyond), and 4) ranging in age from 18 to 40.

The criteria for the Taiwanese or Chinese international student group are: 1) international students from Taiwan or China (self-identifying as Taiwanese or Chinese, born, and raised in Taiwan or China) currently enrolled in a university or college for undergraduate or graduate level studies in the United States; 2) currently involved in a dating relationship, cohabitation, or marriage; and 3) ranging in age from 18 to 40.

If you meet the criteria for either group, please choose this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet viewform?formkey=dDdkcGtDTGh2MnRMdklpc2psR0Vfc3c6MQ You can either click the link or copy and paste it into your Internet browser.

It should take approximately 20 to 25 minutes to complete the study. The West Virginia University Institutional Review Board (IRB) has approved this study. After completing the four questionnaires online, you will be asked to provide a valid email address to enter a drawing for one of two $30 Amazon gift cards. After the data collection is completed, a drawing will be conducted based on the email contact you provide. If you have any questions you may contact the primary investigator, Yi-An Lo, M.A. at yian.luo@gmail.com, or call (240) 421-4791; or the research advisor, Dr. Jeffrey Daniels at Jeffrey.Daniels@mail.wvu.edu, or call at (304) 293-2235.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,

Yi-An Lo, M.A.
Jeffrey Daniels, Ph.D.
