A qualitative survey of pansexual and panromantic people's understandings and lived experiences of pan identities

K?�ov�, Karol�na; Hayfield, Nikki

Abstract

In recent years, it has been reported that more and more people are identifying as pansexual and/or panromantic. Pansexuality has also become an increasingly popular topic in popular media. However, at present, there are no UK-specific psychological studies on pansexual or panromantic identities, and very little research actually talking to pansexual and panromantic people anywhere in the world. Therefore, we were interested to find out more about pansexual and panromantic people’s understandings and lived experiences of their identities.

The project was supported and funded by the British Psychological Society (BPS) Undergraduate Research Assistantship Scheme and gained ethical approval from the University of the West of England’s Faculty Research Ethics Committee (FREC) (HAS.18.04.152).

The researchers are Dr Nikki Hayfield, a Senior Lecturer in Social Psychology, and Karolina Krizova, who has recently completed her undergraduate psychology degree at UWE.
