Thank you for taking the time to participate in this survey. We are students in a sociological research methods course, and we appreciate that you are willing to help us with a class project; the data collected will be used for educational purposes and will not lead to a published study.

Your responses are incredibly valuable in helping us explore how community belonging, gender, and loneliness intersect in everyday life. Please follow the directions and answer all questions listed to the best of your ability. These questions have no right or wrong answers since they reflect your personal experiences. The questionnaire should take about 18 minutes to complete.

Some of these questions may pertain to sensitive topics that may be uncomfortable to answer. Your identity will remain anonymous, and your responses will remain confidential. These responses will only be seen by this questionnaire’s creators and will not be released to outside sources. If you still feel uncomfortable answering all questions, your response is not binding, and you may exit the questionnaire anytime.

We appreciate your participation!
