Summary

This study tests whether giving university students personalized feedback about their daily stress and coping patterns can improve their well-being. About 200 perfectionistic students will be randomly assigned to receive one of two types of feedback, both, or none. The feedback is delivered in a single session and aims to help students understand and change unhelpful patterns. The goal is to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and increase feelings of empowerment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Personalized explanatory feedback intervention (behavioral)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help perfectionistic students reduce stress and improve mood without medication.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with no blinding, so results may be influenced by placebo effects. The intervention is brief and may not work for everyone.

Inclusion Criteria: * Included in the study will be students who score 0.5 standard deviation above the mean score on two or more of four brief \[4- or 5-item\] measures of SC perfectionism (DEQ self-criticism, FMPS concern over mistakes, HMPS socially prescribed perfectionism, and APS-R discrepancy) for previous student samples Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals who meet the criteria for a diagnosis of depression or anxiety disorders and who do not have concomitant mental health care will be excluded from the study. * Participants will be excluded if they fail to complete any of the Time 1 measures, or seven days of the daily diary procedure.
