For my honours project, I’m performing a study identifying how microaggressions (e.g., covert/subtle discrimination) may impact lesbian women by causing them to experience self-infrahumanization (i.e., attributing certain characteristics to their own social group over others), and how self-esteem may mediate the hypothesized effect.

**THOSE WHO COMPLETE THE STUDY WILL BE ENTERED INTO A DRAW FOR 1 OF 5 PREPAID VISA GIFT CARDS VALUED AT $50 EACH.**
If any of you could spare fifteen minutes and take my survey, or send it to someone who may be interested, it would be greatly appreciated!
