Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental group 1: Best Possible Self
Participants are asked to think and write about their best possible future self and to imagine this positive future subsequently.
Thinking, writing and imagining
All participants are asked to take some time to think and write about the content of the respective intervention group. After the writing exercise (approx. 15-20 min) participants are asked to imagine that content for about 5 minutes.
Experimental group 2: Best Possible Self + next steps
Participants are asked to think and write about their best possible future self and what the next steps could be to reach that best possible future. Subsequently, participants are asked to imagine this positive future.
Thinking, writing and imagining
All participants are asked to take some time to think and write about the content of the respective intervention group. After the writing exercise (approx. 15-20 min) participants are asked to imagine that content for about 5 minutes.
Experimental group 3: Self-compassion
Participants are asked to think and write about a self-compassion exercise and to imagine this content subsequently.
Thinking, writing and imagining
All participants are asked to take some time to think and write about the content of the respective intervention group. After the writing exercise (approx. 15-20 min) participants are asked to imagine that content for about 5 minutes.
Active control group
Participants are asked to think and write about a neutral task that is comparable to the experimental groups.
Thinking, writing and imagining
