Survey and Interviews for Tulpa Agency and Independence

[psisynthesis]

Hello, Tulpa.info!

 

I am Maddox Massey, an undergraduate researcher at Georgia Highlands College. My supervisor is Dr. Elizabeth Dose, Department of Humanities & Social Sciences. The IRB at my institution has approved my study on tulpamancy systems, specifically regarding experiences of agency and independence. I post here to recruit participants for a survey, in addition to virtual interviews.

 

I must preface that only those of at least 18 years of age can participate. You must also have at least one tulpa and/or consider yourself a tulpamancer.

 

This study observes how hosts experience their tulpa(s)' agency (ability to initiate actions without prompt) and independence (distinctiveness/separation from the host). In addition to the survey, I am searching for participants willing to engage in a 60-80 minute virtual audio-recorded interview about their experiences. If you are interested in an interview after taking the survey, please email me at mmasse12@student.highlands.edu so we may discuss it further.

 

Depending on how many interview offers I receive, I may have to turn down a few. I apologize if that occurs; I will do my best to do as many as feasible.

 

Most importantly, participation in this study is fully voluntary. You may terminate your participation at any time without consequence. You are not required to participate in an interview to take the survey.

 

The survey and interviews will be open until March 27. Please post, email, or message me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you so much for your participation in advance.

 

I have been close to the tulpamancy community for close to 10 years by this point, and it is an honor to finally have the opportunity to contribute to literature on this wonderful practice.

 

UPDATE: Thank you all for your contributions! The survey and interviews are now closed.
