Detailed Description

Stress and stress related diseases are becoming a huge health burden in modern societies. Psycho-emotional stress plays a key role in stress regulation. Therefore this study aims to investigate the effects of online-courses addressing emotion regulation.

For this aim several different online-courses about emotional competence and compassion are scientifically evaluated with psychometric questionnaires and heart rate variability measuring. The courses are planned by the trainers and people register on their own initiative.

The courses have a duration of 4 weeks or three months. They consist of video lectures that explain the content as well as videos giving exercises about the character of the different feelings and about the characteristics of emotions. They teach practices on how to use feelings as an empowering force in life and how to deal with difficult emotions.
