Woodbury, Psychological Sciences ####Laura King, Mentor This study addressed two questions: 1) Can written emotion disclosure over the internet produce psychological benefits? 2) Does writing about positive and negative topics produce the same benefits? Participants were randomly assigned to write (for twenty minutes, once a week, for three weeks) about one of three topics: a negative life event, a meaningful event in the past week, or a non-emotional control topic. Participants completed measures of depression and subjective well-being two months later. Results indicate that writing online does produce benefits: negative emotional disclosure leads to decreases in depressive symptoms and positive emotional disclosure leads to heightened psychological well-being. 3 Tue, 14 Nov 2006 14:50:59 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/thorson/ipod/Thorson06.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/thorson/ipod/Thorson06.m4v _Internet Advertising: Theory and Research_, which Thorson co-edited with David W.

But many people, in fact, experience information overload. However, Wells cautions, “getting information and knowing whether it is true can be very difficult.” Moreover, people tend to search the internet with preconceived notions and, predictably, wind up reinforcing their existing beliefs rather than nuancing, challenging, or debunking them. 3 Wed, 05 Sep 2007 21:44:02 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/syndicatemizzou/ipod/genesis-50.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/syndicatemizzou/ipod/genesis-50.m4v The Center for the Studies in Oral Tradition, founded in 1986 by John Miles Foley, became the model for the Center for eResearch.
