What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the effects of a brief interactive mindfulness breathing intervention powered by ChatGPT on well-being.

The goal is to understand if the interactive ChatGPT approach can improve well-being outcomes such as stress, mood, anxiety, self-control, and mindfulness attention. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups. The first group uses a ChatGPT-powered mindfulness breathing bot guiding them through a 15-minute exercise with interactive prompts.

The third group listens to a 15-minute mindfulness breathing audio without interaction. All sessions include one-minute settling instructions and step-by-step guidance. Participants complete assessments before and immediately after the 15-minute session to measure changes in stress, positive and negative feelings, anxiety, self-control, and mindfulness attention.
