Brief Summary

The aims of this study are to experimentally investigate and compare whether motivation variables can predict adherence to a prescribed assignment in face-to-face and online interventions using a psychotherapy analogue model. A total of 100 participants are included in this study and randomized to either a face-to-face or online intervention. Participants in both groups receive a psychoeducation session and are given an assignment for the subsequent week.

Interventions

Online psychoeducationBEHAVIORAL

The online intervention consists of a psychoeducation component taken from affect focused psychotherapy. In this model, emotions are physiological patterns that are shaped mainly in the context of previous relations. By using the model, patients are helped to better understand their current emotions, behaviors and cognitions. The aim of the intervention used in this study is to provide information about the six basic affects and how they may influence everyday behaviors and well-being in recurring patterns.
