Daydreaming Research

A diary study of excessive daydreaming

• Do you daydream for long periods of time?

• Does your daydreaming interfere with your daily life?

• Are you aged between 18 to 45?

• Do you have a good command of written and spoken English?

A research team at the University of Hertfordshire is conducting a study on excessive daydreaming and stress. Many people daydream and some more than others. Some people may daydream for large periods of time and may feel this interferes with their daily life. If this sounds like you, would you be willing to complete an online diary about your daily daydreaming and stress experiences for three days? Your participation would involve the following:

• A preliminary survey to establish your eligibility (between 7-10 minutes)

• A zoom meeting with the researcher to discuss how to complete the diary entries, and answer any questions you may have (approximately 20 minutes).

• Recording an online diary of your daydreaming episodes and stress for 3 working days of the week.

• One final survey (approximately 5-10 minutes).

If you are interested in taking part or have any questions, please, email Gemma at [e-mail] or call 07749064025.
