Couples were recruited through newsletters, mailings and advertisements in magazines. Questionnaires were sent to 720 individuals (360 couples). Of these 575 were returned. Participants were from Canada, Israel, and the United States. The sample was 94% white. Ages ranged from 20 to 59 years old. <br /><br /> Two identical questionnaires were sent to each couple. Each participant responded to the questionnaire separately, providing demographic information and answering questions about her current relationship and perceptions of lesbian relationships in general. The questionnaire also included scales and measures of role conflict, personal autonomy, self esteem, career commitment, life satisfaction and disclosure about lesbian identity. Other scales assess aspects of the relationship itself, including attachment, intimacy, satisfaction, adjustment, and influence of each individual on the relationship. <br /><br /> The Henry A. Murray Research Archive has all 575 original record paper questionnaires, and numeric file data for 550 of these. United States
