It was found that the group who had written about their emotional experiences had smaller wounds, meaning they had healed more quickly. Those whose wounds were healing more slowly were found to have higher levels of stress and psychological distress."9 The sample of study participants was clearly not which one of these: a convenience sample, a volunteer sample, or a random sample?
