(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-01-15)

I once read a study that compared the level of distress of completing a psychological study to other activities in daily life (e.g., commuting to work; interacting with colleagues; watching tv; or something like that).

The paper is a good reference when you are applying for ethics approval.

Does anyone know the reference?
Or perhaps there are a few such articles?
