Study Groups

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

Expectation

Participants are asked to think of three strength which have helped them in prior stressful events. They then have to think of ways how these strength may help them in future stressful situations, i.e. a test in this experiment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Acceptance

Participants listen to an audio-instruction on cognitive defusion. They shall observe the thoughts and feelings of stress and, with the help of the instruction, distance themselves from it.
