Summary
This pilot study tests whether a 10-day web-based self-help program can reduce repetitive negative thinking in college students without clinician support. Participants complete daily psychoeducational content, exercises, and monitoring strategies. Researchers compare the intervention group to a waitlist control to see if the program eases anxiety, depression, and cognitive fusion while improving psychological flexibility.
