NPD Research Participant Recruitment [Moderator Approved]

Hi!

I am a doctoral student conducting a dissertation study on the experience of receiving therapy for individuals diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). The goal of this study is to learn more about how individuals with NPD experience therapy for the purposes of better informing treatment providers about what individuals with this diagnosis feel is helpful to them in their therapy. 

If you are diagnosed with NPD and you are interested in sharing your experience, please click the provided Google form link which will direct you to a brief survey. This survey will request some brief information about your demographics, your personality traits, your mental health diagnoses and treatment, and your availability to schedule an interview over the web application, Zoom.

**if you are uncomfortable having your face on camera, then you will be welcome to participate in the form of an audio-only call.**

Participation in this study would take place in the form of a 30-120 minute one-on-one interview (simply depending on the individual participant’s time needs). If at any point in the process you decide you would no longer like to continue, you are welcome to withdraw at any time and the data collected from you will be deleted upon request. 

All of the information collected from the survey and interview will be kept confidential and will be published without your name or any other information that could identify you as a study participant. 

More information will be provided to those who choose to participate. Please feel free to ask questions should you have any prior to engaging in this study. 

I have spoken with the moderators and have received their approval for this endeavor. Additionally, if you know of anyone who may be interested in participating in this study and meets the aforementioned criteria of having been diagnosed with NPD, please feel free to direct them to this post. 

Thank you for your time.

This study has received approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) and therefore has been determined to be compliant with the ethical standards set forth for psychological research. This means that your rights as a human participant will be protected and the contact information of the IRB chair in charge of approving this study will be provided to you should you have any questions or concerns about your experience participating in my study.
