Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This investigation examines the efficacy of a brief, one-session computerized interpretation bias modification paradigm (CBM-I) in the reduction of intolerance of uncertainty. Intolerance of uncertainty is a risk factor for the development and maintenance of various forms of psychopathology.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Active IU CBM-I

This paradigm was designed to train individuals to endorse benign interpretations of ambiguous information and reject negative/threatening interpretations of ambiguous information. Participant's baseline interpretation bias was measured at baseline. Participants then underwent two training phases in which their responses were either reinforced (i.e., they were told they were correct) or punished (i.e., they were told that they were incorrect). Interpretation bias was measured again at post-training.
