Hello, I am John Larsson, a postgraduate student. If you are a student I
would greatly appreciate your participation in this study. I am 
investigating the role of mood on procrastination behaviour. It would be
greatly appreciated if you would answer the questions below by putting a 
slash / next to the answer that applies to you and email this form back 
to me at Plarssonjw@cc.curtin.edu.au as soon as possible. You are of 
course free to not participate. I do ask for a return email address, I 
will send you a thank you and further explanation of the study if you 
participate. Your identity will remain confidential as it will be 
separated from the data on receiving it.
