Mail: How You Feel During A Typical Week

Sibling Mail: How You Feel During A Typical Week


OVERVIEW

These items were new to the 2004 Graduate Mail survey.  The preceding module
inquires about feelings the respondent had in the past week. This Module asks
first,  if the past week was typical and then for the respondent to answer the
following questions with a typical week in mind, not necessarily past week.
