Opening the book…
"And when a portion is completed, whether that’s [sic] chapter, whether that’s survey item, whether that’s looking for a coefficient value, whatever it is, I just feel so delighted with me. [laughs] and I feel achieved, so there’s you know, a sense of ‘all right Me! You go Me!’" (Graduate student participant as cited in Droog et al. 2024, p. 839)
