(no subject)
So ... I’m putting out this survey for a Psychology class project - and I would REALLY appreciate it if you took a minute to fill it out. Feel free to copy and paste these questions into a message, or set your comment to private (if you're good at LiveJournal and know how to do that...). You’ll remain complete anonymous in the results.
Thank you so much - you’re doing me a great favor!
