2. august 2022 opdateret af: Virginia Commonwealth University
This research study seeks to understand how stress reduction training influences neural responses (brain activation) and behavior related to stress, including emotions and reactions to social conflict.

Studieoversigt

Detaljeret beskrivelse

The full research project will be conducted over approximately 2-3 weeks, and will consist of two data collection sessions, one before and one after a 14-day stress reduction training course conducted via a smartphone that participants provide. This course entails instructor-facilitated stress reduction exercises previously shown to reduce stress and improve well-being. Participants will be randomly assigned to a mindfulness course or a cognitive reappraisal course. Both of these courses -mindfulness training (MT) and cognitive reappraisal training (RT) - involve expert-facilitated mental wellness techniques. MT emphasizes mindfulness-based techniques to reduce stress and promote wellbeing, whereas CT emphasizes reframing and reappraisal techniques to reduce stress and promote well-being.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) hemodynamic signal change
Tidsramme: Baseline and 16 weeks
Proportion of participants who show a statistically significant change in regional specificity, as measured by fNIRS-recorded blood oxygenation representing markers of emotion reactivity and regulation during observation of video stimuli.
Baseline and 16 weeks

Resultatmål
Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Change in anger response
Tidsramme: Baseline and 16 weeks
The Anger subscale of the Discrete Emotions Questionnaire (DEQ) will be used to assess s the extent to which participants experience specific emotions on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 7 (an extreme amount) in response to video stimuli. Lower scores indicate less anger and more emotion downregulation. Higher scores would indicate more anger and less emotion downregulation.
Baseline and 16 weeks
Change in disgust response
Tidsramme: Baseline and 16 weeks
The Disgust subscale of the Discrete Emotions Questionnaire (DEQ) will be used to assess the extent to which participants experience specific emotions on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 7 (an extreme amount) in response to video stimuli. Lower scores indicate less disgust and more emotion downregulation. Higher scores would indicate more disgust and less emotion downregulation.
Baseline and 16 weeks
Change in fear response
Tidsramme: Baseline and 16 weeks
The Fear subscale of the Discrete Emotions Questionnaire (DEQ) will be used to assess the extent to which participants experience specific emotions on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 7 (an extreme amount) in response to video stimuli. Lower scores indicate less fear and more emotion downregulation. Higher scores would indicate more fear and less emotion downregulation.
Baseline and 16 weeks
Change in anxiety response
Tidsramme: Baseline and 16 weeks
The Anxiety subscale of the Discrete Emotions Questionnaire (DEQ) will be used to assess the extent to which participants experience specific emotions on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 7 (an extreme amount) in response to video stimuli. Lower scores indicate less anxiety and more emotion downregulation. Higher scores would indicate more anxiety and less emotion downregulation.
Baseline and 16 weeks
Change in sadness response
Tidsramme: Baseline and 16 weeks
The Sadness subscale of the Discrete Emotions Questionnaire (DEQ) will be used to assess the extent to which participants experience specific emotions on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 7 (an extreme amount) in response to video stimuli. Lower scores indicate less sadness and more emotion downregulation. Higher scores would indicate more sadness and less emotion downregulation.
Baseline and 16 weeks
Change in intergroup attitudes
Tidsramme: Baseline and 16 weeks
The Beliefs about Groups survey will be used to assess explicit intergroup attitudes. Participants answer 4 questions using a scale from 1 to 6. Higher scores indicate poorer attitude outcomes.
Baseline and 16 weeks
Behavioral willingness to participate in a dyad-based future experiment
Tidsramme: 16 weeks
Number of participants who express willingness to participate in a dyad-based future experiment using a scale from 1 to 5. Higher scores indicate greater willingness or preference to participate.
16 weeks
