About this research

Many studies have found that when people write about past emotional events in their lives they can show improvements in physical or mental health. We want to test the effects of expressive writing in a study carried out completely online. Here are some brief details of the study, more information is available by clicking through below:

  • You will not be contacted by phone or in person (although you will need to provide name, address and email details for the administration of the study).
  • This 6 week study is conducted completely online so you must have regular internet access.
  • You will be asked to carry out an expressive writing activity.
  • Please note that this is a pilot study and therefore participant numbers are restricted.
  • Please do not take part if you have already participated in UCL’s online support groups study (previously advertised on PsyBlog).
