Stress Management through Written Emotional Disclosure Improves Academic Performance among College Students with Physical Symptoms.
Lumley, Mark A.; Provenzano, Kimberly M.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v95 n3 p641-49 Sep 2003

Results reveal that writing about general life stress leads to improved academic functioning, particularly among those who become less distressed over writing days.
