Current Projects:

2010:

Hello, everyone! My name is Olivia Leeker, a 3rd year doctoral student in the Counseling Psychology PhD program at Oklahoma State University. I am currently conducting a research project for my dissertation exploring individuals feelings about imagined acts of infidelity within their current romantic relationships.

If you are over the age of 18, self-identity as lesbian or gay, and are involved in a current romantic relationship, we would like to encourage you to participate in this study by completing an online survey at http://frontpage.okstate.edu/coe/olivialeeker/ which should take approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete.

Upon completion of the survey, interested participants will be directed to a separate website (so that names will not be connected to survey responses) where they can enter into a drawing to WIN one of two $25.00 gift cards to Walmart by providing the following information: name, email address, and telephone number.

Former Projects:

2009:

• What does it look like when gay/lesbian couples go through Gottman Method Couples Therapy? We are compiling two case studies to publish in the Journal of Marriage and Family Therapy to show other therapists how successful same-sex couples can be with this approach.

2008:

• Summer 2008 we'll begin by continuing John Gottman's research on couples, specifically examining the physiological overwhelm same-sex couples (gay and lesbian) experience when discussing infidelity.
