Greetings. Thank you for expressing an interest in participating in the Writing and Mood study. The purpose of this study is to examine writing and emotions. Some participants will be asked to write for a short-period (20 minutes a day) of time, over the course of three days, about many different things, including daily events, personal relationships, or deep emotions. The total time for participation should be no greater than three hours over the course of 2 weeks and 3 days. Although all attempts will be made to ensure participant confidentiality, you will be asked to provide either an email address or a phone number strictly as a means of contact.

Before we go any further, please make sure that you meet all the criteria for participation: 1) You are at least 18 years old and capable of giving consent; 2) You have at least a junior high school level education; 3) You can read and write in English fluently; 4) You are not currently in psychotherapy or taking any psychotropic medication; and 5) You are willing to dedicate approximately 3 hours, over the course of less than 3 weeks.

Upon completion of the study, you will be provided a $15 gift certificate to an online vendor of your choice from a selection of possible vendors (Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Fandango, or eBay, via PayPal only).

If you do not meet the criteria, thank you for your interest and time.

If you do, please click this link when you have an uninterrupted moment in the day and can devote approximately 30 minutes to the study without interruptions:

It is hoped that you will respond each day for the next two days to an email regarding the study. If you happen to forget on one day, follow-up emails will be sent unless you specifically request that I do not send a reminder. An email reminder will be sent in the event that no responses are received

It won't let me do it. It says it needs a password.

Yupp, need a psswrd.
