Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of an online positive psychological intervention on positive emotion, anxiety, depression, feelings of social isolation, sleep disturbance and a sense of meaning and purpose in the general public. The main question it aims to answer is:

Will the practice of positive emotion skills via a self-guided online platform reduce feelings of anxiety, depression, social isolation, and sleep disturbance, as well as increase well-being, positive emotion, a sense of meaning and purpose, life satisfaction, and general self-efficacy?

Participants will take part in an online positive psychological skill learning intervention for 6-8 weeks. Prior to beginning, immediately after, and 4 weeks after, participants will fill out measures of their wellbeing.

Resilience Challenge

The Resilience Challenge Study is an online program containing a series of positive emotion skills for individuals experiencing stress and distress during their everyday life. The online program specifically targets positive emotion and offers an array of skills in a self-guided online delivery platform. Participants will, over the course of 6-8 weeks, access weekly skill lessons, daily homework, and daily emotion reporting. The skill lessons will include: positive events, savoring, gratitude, everyday mindfulness, mindfulness meditation, positive reappraisal, self-compassion, personal strengths, and attainable goals.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Resilience Challenge

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

We previously have tested this online program in people facing health- and work-related stressors (e.g., dementia caregivers, healthcare workers), and in 2020 we enrolled adults in a test of the online program to support coping with the stress of the COVID pandemic. This intervention has been tailored for a widespread, public audience (e.g., we have added a few other safety measures including limits on public forum posting and have clarified wording on some of the intervention content to make it clearer and easier to understand).
