What the study is about

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a virtual task can reduce distress in college students. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Will those who complete the virtual task have less distress?
  • Will men and women both benefit equally from the virtual task?

Researchers will compare the virtual task to a control task (another virtual task that we expect will not impact distress) to see if distress differs.

Participants will spend 20 minutes engaging in the virtual task (or the control task) on 3 different days all within one week. They will complete a survey about their well-being before starting the first virtual task and again \~6 weeks afterward.

Being studied: Virtual Sequential Emotional Processing Task; Virtual Control Task

Conditions: Distress, Emotional
