| You have a voice and it deserves to be heard! Disclosing experiences of childhood physical and sexual abuse can sometimes feel overwhelming and frightening; however, one way to bring awareness to the experiences of men is to provide a safe environment to share histories of abuse. This study aims to provide a safe platform for you to share your experiences. No identifying information is needed.
Are you a male 18 or older who has experience physical or sexual abuse prior to the age of 18? If so, you are invited to take part in a research study on how childhood abuse affects adult attachment and relationship satisfaction among men.
Substantial amounts of research has been dedicated to uncovering the effects of reported childhood abuse on the attachment style and relationship satisfaction among women; however, not much research has looked at the male population exclusively. Wouldn't it be useful to gain some level of understanding of how childhood abuse may influence relationships and styles of attachment among men too?
