Brief Summary

This study is examining the efficacy of a computerized, exposure-based, intervention for perfectionism.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a two-week computerized exposure-based treatment for perfectionism (ETP). Individuals with elevated perfectionism will be randomly assigned to ETP or a waitlist (WL) control condition. ETP will consist of three tasks in which they will repeatedly make mistakes, repeated for five sessions over a two-week period (one session every 3 days).
