This research study on coercive control is being conducted by Kacey Baker, a master's student in the psychology of coercive control program at the University of Salford.

If you have been targeted by coercive control, please consider participating. Here are the important details:

I am a researcher from The University of Salford conducting a study titled Investigating the potentiality of an “Extent of Coercive Control Universal Scale” - an exploratory study as part of my master’s programme dissertation in the Psychology of Coercive Control (supervised by Dr Rod Dubrow-Marshall).

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the 'Extent of Coercive Control Universal Scale,' a tool designed to assess experiences of coercive control in different environments such as domestic situations, workplaces, cults, and human trafficking scenarios. My aim is to refine this scale to ensure it is reliable and effective for identifying if coercive control exists and presents similarly across different contexts, thereby contributing to better support and interventions for affected individuals.

I am seeking participants who have experienced coercive control in any environment to complete three short questionnaires to contribute to this study.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best regards, Kacey Baker K.baker7@edu.salford.ac.uk

If you know attorneys, therapists, court professionals, GALs, police or anyone who works directly with survivors of domestic abuse or coercive control by an individual or group, please consider recommending participation in my coercive control research study. 

The research study on coercive control includes seven training videos on coercive control and abuse by individuals, groups and systems, and can be accessed by clicking THIS link

If you are entrapped in a custody case in family court or a domestic violence case in criminal court with a narcissist, psychopath, abuser, coercive controller, or anyone who is a high conflict personality, sending professionals involved in your case to participate in this study can help inform them of the dangers of coercive control. Participants can learn about the tactics and strategies of coercive control and why the trauma created by it is so devastating. These training videos on coercive control can help overcome biases and misconceptions that trap protective parents in abusive relationships and they spell out for professionals in domestic abuse, domestic violence and coercive and controlling fields what to look for and how to hold perpetrators accountable. 

This study is open until July 31, 2022, and we still need both survivor and professional participants. Please consider participating, and PLEASE SHARE!
