Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to assess whether negative or rather the lack of positive treatment expectations could be positively influenced by online short interventions and increase intention so seek treatment and actual help-seeking behavior when compared to a no-treatment control group. Further, the study investigators like to explore if specifically focusing on intensifying positive treatment expectations vs. a reduction of expectations about negative treatment effects will influence the pattern of results differently.


Description:

The investigators expect that participants receiving an intervention e.g., amplifying positive (performance) expectancies vs. reducing negative (performance) expectancies of psychotherapeutic treatment, will show an increase in intentions to seek treatment and are more likely to report actual treatment-seeking behavior after the intervention when compared with participants who will describe their treatment expectations via a writing task. Further, the investigators want to explore if the expectancy-modulating interventions will differently affect the intention to seek treatment within socially anxious individuals. If participants agree, the investigators plan to assess changes in expectations, attitudes as well as actual treatment seeking behavior at a Follow-Up assessment one week later (data from Follow-Up will be analyzed exploratively and is not part of the main hypotheses).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Treatment-seeking behavior (Behavioral Outcome 2) If participants agree to participate at our Follow Up, a second behavioral outcome will be assessed. Participants will be asked if they meanwhile have researched more concrete information about social anxiety online, connected with internet platforms or self-support groups, applied for online therapy programs/sessions, contacted or sought professional help for outpatient or psychiatric clinics. All categories have to be answered by a dichotomous scale ("yes" or "no"). At Follow-Up investigation (one week after post measurement)
Primary Change in Treatment Expectations (Treatment Expectation Questionnaire, "TEX-Q") Explicit treatment expectations measured by 15 items on a 11point Likert-scale At baseline (pre-measurement), immediately after intervention (post-measurement, approximately 20 minutes after beginning of study procedure) and at Follow-Up investigation (one week after post measurement)
Primary Changes in intention to seek treatment Estimated Probability to seek treatment on a self-generated rating scale from 0 (not likely at all) to 100 (very much likely) At baseline (pre-measurement), immediately after intervention (post-measurement, approximately 20 minutes after beginning of study procedure) and at Follow-Up investigation (one week after post measurement)
Secondary Intention to seek treatment (Behavioral Outcome 1) Participants respond with "yes" or "no" to indicate their interest to receive more concrete information about social anxiety and its treatment possibilities. If the answer was answered with "yes", participants are asked to give their e-mail address to receive information which is used to assess intention to seek treatment in form of a behavioral outcome. After intervention (post measurement, approximately 30 minutes after beginning of study procedure)
