on a webpage created for this study
:

·         Days 1-3:  On three consecutive days, participants will write an essay for about 20 minutes in the evening, any time after 8 pm.  It might be that participants will be required to write

(e.g., dorm room or apartment).  Once sign up, participants will receive an email indicating the web page they can log onto and complete the study ANY TIME AFTER 8 PM. 
They will receive a reminder email each morning of the four days.
