Thank you very much for choosing to complete our study! Participation will only take approximately 5 minutes to answer two questions about how you react to negative situations.

Your data will be kept confidential and securely stored, with only an anonymous number identifying it. Information linking that number to your name will be stored securely and separately from the data you provide us. All information collected for the project will be destroyed when possession of the data is no longer deemed necessary and the project is complete.

Taking part in this study is completely voluntary; you may withdraw at any time without having to give any reason. If you have any questions about this study please email David Angell on the email provided above.

This application has been reviewed by the University Research Ethics Committee and has been given a favourable ethical opinion for conduct.

Thank you kindly for your help.
