What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a cognitive bias modification called Thought-Action-Fusion (TAF) which is a thinking pattern linking unwanted thoughts to moral wrongdoing or increased likelihood of those thoughts happening. This pattern is important in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The study aims to test whether a multi-session, personalized training can reduce obsessive-compulsive symptoms in a college-aged adult group. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: CBM-TAF, CBM-SMP (stress management psychoeducation), or a waitlist group. Those in the CBM-TAF and CBM-SMP groups will complete six training sessions over three weeks (twice a week), each lasting about 20 minutes. The sessions involve an ambiguous sentence-completion task and watching brief animated videos related to TAF or stress management. The waitlist group only completes weekly assessments without training. All participants will take assessments before training, after completing six sessions, and again one month later. These include measuring thought-action-fusion levels, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and depression, anxiety, and stress. The entire study is conducted via a mobile web platform allowing participants to complete training and assessments remotely. The study will monitor changes over time to assess the training's impact on OCD-related thoughts and symptoms.
