First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study explores whether teaching people emotion regulation skills tailored to their individual needs works better than a one-size-fits-all approach. Researchers will enroll 390 adults with emotional difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD, and assign them to practice either personalized or standard skills. The goal is to see if personalized training leads to greater reductions in daily negative emotions and to develop scalable, evidence-based interventions.
