Study 1: Longitudinal study with 20 something men

I have started a longitudinal study with 20 something women and am looking for more 20 something men who are interested in participating in a longitudinal study.

If you are:

  • Male and in your 20s
  • Sure you do not want to have kids
  • Are willing to be interviewed at least once a year for the next ten years

I  want to hear from you (email me below)!  I am interested in following childfree 20 something men and women over time.

If you are not in your 20s but know a childfree man who is, please tell them about this study and if he is interested, please contact me using the form below!

Study 2: Qualitative study on women’s identity without motherhood by PhD student Rebecca Maschka:

From Rebecca: I would like to invite women who have made the choice not to bear or raise children to join me in a research project that will acknowledge and honor the positive aspects of this choice.  Participants in my study will explore the influences that have positively supported their sense of who they are as a woman. They will also have the opportunity to create a collage image of one or more of these influences. Skill or artistic ability is not needed, just a desire for self-awareness, exploration and expression.  I hope this project will address the imbalance in our society that appears to value women who are mothers more than those who do not bear children. I also hope this experience will be fun for the women involved! 

To be a part of this study you must be a woman of at least 35 years of age, have made the choice not to have children, and have been born and raised in the United States. 

For more information please contact Rebecca at maschka319@gmail.com.
