Just-in-Time Coping Prompts for Reactive Digital Behavior in College Students (REACT)
24 августа 2026 г. обновлено: University of Florida
REACT: A Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention to Reduce Reactive Digital Behavior in College Students
This study looks at the moments when college students feel a strong emotional swing, and how those moments relate to reacting online when upset, drinking alcohol, and eating in response to emotions.
Participants wear a wrist device and answer brief check-ins on their phone several times a day for about five weeks.
During part of that time, a study app sometimes sends a short coping message at moments when the wrist device and check-ins suggest emotions are shifting quickly.
Whether a message is sent at any given moment is decided at random, and the study compares what participants do in the short window afterward.
The study is a pilot designed to test whether the approach is feasible and to estimate how large its effects are.

Подробное описание
REACT is a five-week micro-randomized trial in University of Florida students age 18 and older.
Participants complete a baseline battery, wear a Garmin Venu 3, and respond to five to six smartphone check-ins per day.
Week one is a no-prompt run-in that establishes each participant's own baseline distribution of momentary affective variability, indexed by the mean square of successive differences on consecutive affect ratings.
From week two through week five, the app evaluates up to six decision points per day.
A decision point is flagged when the participant's current variability exceeds their own 80th percentile threshold, computed within person rather than against a group average.
At each available decision point the app randomizes with probability 0.5 whether to deliver a brief coping message, and if so selects a message type from those eligible in that context.
Availability rules exclude sleep, stale device data, a 60-minute cooldown, a daily cap, and any safety override.
Proximal outcomes are drawn from the first check-in within two hours after the decision point.
Analysis uses weighted and centered least squares to estimate causal excursion effects, with pre-specified moderators.

Вмешательство/лечение |
|---|---|

Экспериментальный: Coping prompt delivered
Decision points at which the randomization outcome is to deliver a brief cognitive-behavioral or acceptance-based coping message.
Message type is selected at random from those eligible in the participant's current context.
Every participant contributes decision points to this condition.
|
A single short message of one to three sentences delivered to the participant's smartphone at a randomized decision point, taking roughly fifteen to thirty seconds to read.
Messages apply cognitive-behavioral techniques including thought records, perspective-taking, decatastrophizing, cost-benefit checks, implementation intentions, and behavioral redirection, or acceptance-based techniques including cognitive defusion, acceptance, values anchoring, urge surfing, and present-moment grounding.
Delivery is capped at four messages per day with a minimum sixty-minute interval and is confined to participant-set waking hours.
Messages may be dismissed without responding.
|
|
Активный компаратор: No coping prompt or active control message
Decision points at which the randomization outcome is not to deliver a coping message.
A brief neutral, non-directive acknowledgment message may be delivered as an active control so that receiving any message can be separated from receiving a coping message.
Every participant contributes decision points to this condition.
|
A brief neutral acknowledgment message matched to the coping messages on delivery mechanism and approximate length, containing no coping technique or behavioral suggestion.
