Doctoral Student Conducting Gay Consumer Preference Survey
My name is Lisa Parker and I am a doctoral business student seeking to complete my dissertation research study.
I am hoping that you would be willing to assist me in collecting data for my doctoral dissertation research on the Effect of Human Resource Policies on Gay Consumer Preference by Market Segment. This being so, I would really appreciate it if you could take my survey.
The survey will only take about 5 minutes to complete.
You may access the survey by clicking on or pasting the link below into your web browser:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=BXOTuUo_2fU7u4FG_2fWh959qA_3d_3d
The purpose of this research is to measure the effects of human resource policies on gay consumer preference by market segment. By completing and turning in this survey you are giving your consent for the researcher to include your responses in the data analysis. Your participation in this research is strictly voluntary, and you may choose not to participate without fear of penalty or any negative consequences. Individual responses will be treated confidentially. No individually identifiable information will be disclosed or published, and all results will be presented as aggregate, summary data.
If you could forward to any gay people you know over the age of 18, I would really appreciate that too.
Thank you very much.
