Detailed Description

Subjects involved will have the opportunity to partecipate in a two-weeks course: two SDT (Self Determination Theory) psychological interviews are scheduled (1 per week) to help the participant increase his motivation and awareness about the problem reported during the counseling session.

For this purpose, the use of an APP with a CA (Conversational Agent) will be implemented as a support to help people to identify one's thoughts and emotional states as well as increase their awareness about themselves.

Test will be administered at the beginning (T1) and at the end of the meetings (T2).

Participants will be randomly divided into one of two groups to understand whether APP and CA has a significant impact in increasing motivation and awareness of the need for a pathway with a professional.
