NCT ID: NCT05031559 Completed - Impulsive Behavior Clinical Trials

Episodic Future Thinking and Compassion

Start date: March 29, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

During the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) pandemic, public health departments have issued guidelines to limit viral transmission. In this environment, people will feel urges to engage in activities that violate these guidelines, but research on guideline adherence has been reliant on surveys asking people to self-report their typical behaviour, which may fail to capture these urges as they unfold. Guideline adherence could be improved through behaviour change interventions, but considering the wide range of behaviours that COVID-19 guidelines prescribe, there are few methods that allow observing changes of aggregate guideline adherence in the 'wild'. In order to administer interventions and to obtain contemporaneous data on a wide range of behaviours, the researchers use ecological momentary assessment. In this preregistered parallel randomised trial, 95 participants aged 18-65 from the United Kingdom were assigned to three conditions using blinded block randomisation, and engage in episodic future thinking (n = 33), compassion exercises (n = 31), or a sham procedure (n = 31) and report regularly on the intensity of their occurrent urges (min. 1, max. 10) and their ability to control them. The researchers investigate whether state impulsivity and vaccine attitudes predict guideline adherence, while assessing through which mechanism these predictors affect behaviour.

NCT ID: NCT04522141 Completed - Sedentary Lifestyle Clinical Trials

Testing Self-Control as a Behavior Change Mechanism to Increase Physical Activity

Start date: October 15, 2020
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study is to test self-control as a behavior change mechanism for physical activity and to investigate whether a smartphone-based self-control intervention can increase physical activity among sedentary middle-aged adults.

NCT ID: NCT04145765 Completed - Risk-Taking Clinical Trials

Risk-taking, Self Control and Humor Styles

Start date: April 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Therefore, this study tries to examine relationships among risk perception, risk-taking and humor styles through the mediating role of self-control. The present study used the correlation method. The statistical population consisted of all undergraduate students from University of Bojnord. The number of 400 students from the Faculty of Humanities and Basic Sciences was selected by using cluster sampling. The questionnaires were distributed in the classes among who inclined to participate in this study and they completed the questionnaires as anonymous.

NCT ID: NCT04015440 Completed - Stress Clinical Trials

Hostile Bias Modification Training Online Study II

HBMT II
Start date: July 30, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to see how people respond on a word completion task relates to how they behave and respond to situations in the real world. This is a two part research study. At time-point one, participants will fill out some brief personality surveys. They will also read several short scenarios and imagine how they would react and/or interpret these situations in real life. They will also complete a vocabulary task where they will sort word fragments based on type as quickly as they are able. Participants will be asked to return in 24-96 hours for part two where they will repeat a similar scenario reading activity as during time one and fill out a brief questionnaire about your recent behaviors.

NCT ID: NCT03717077 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Learned Resourcefulness Intervention

Start date: January 6, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aimed to test the effects of a learned resourcefulness interveniton program on the learned resourcefulness, caregiver burden, quality of life for older family caregivers.

NCT ID: NCT03549377 Completed - Self-Control Clinical Trials

Neural Correlates of Self-regulation on Academic Functioning

Start date: May 11, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The main objectives of the study include: 1. What are the differences in self-regulation and its neurophysiological and neuroanatomical correlates between college students with poor and excellent sleep functioning? 2. Does sleep functioning (assessed both by questionnaires and actigraphy), and self-control/self-regulation (questionnaire and imaging data) predict academic achievement and problem behaviors in college students?

NCT ID: NCT02972853 Completed - Depression Clinical Trials

Mindful Self-Regulation fMRI Pilot Study

MindfulPCMRI
Start date: September 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to 1) determine whether Mindfulness Training for Primary Care (see study "MINDFUL-PC: Integrating Mindfulness Into the Patient-Centered Medical Home - A Pilot Study") engages self-regulation targets such as emotion regulation, attention, and interoceptive awareness; and 2) changes brain activation in neuroimaging tasks before compared to after the training. Neuroimaging fMRI tasks probe mechanisms related to self-regulation, such as attention/inhibition, emotion regulation, self-compassion, interoception and pain regulation. The study will also look at whether chronic disease self-management and successful engagement of self-report and behavioral self-regulation targets (emotion regulation, attention, and interoceptive awareness) relates to the observed brain activation changes after compared to before the mindfulness intervention.

NCT ID: NCT02684903 Completed - Parenting Clinical Trials

Coaching Alternative Parenting Strategies (CAPS) Study

CAPS
Start date: February 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) designed to test the effects of PCIT on self-regulation and behavior in child maltreating (CM) parents and their elementary-school children. Two hundred-fifty (250) maltreating mothers and their children (age 5-8 years) will be drawn from Child Protective Services and randomized to the PCIT intervention or a control condition (services as usual). Key contextual risk factors will be assessed, including cumulative risk, parent mental health, and parent substance use. A multirater, multimethod approach to assessment will include measures of self-regulation, parenting skills and children's behavior outcomes. Families will be followed to 1 year for CM recidivism. Findings from this proposed study are expected to have significant implications for optimizing CM parenting interventions by (a) determining the sensitivity of CM parent and child neurobehavioral self-regulation systems to intervention, and (b) identifying individual differences in self-regulation that mediate and moderate response to intervention and long-term maintenance of gains.

NCT ID: NCT02462733 Completed - Clinical trials for Early Childhood Development

Efficacy of Tools of the Mind for Enhancing Self-Control in Preschoolers

Start date: April 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Self-control has become a strong predictor of academic success and life outcomes. Early childhood development research indicates that greater self-control can lead to better health, greater wealth, and less propensity to engage in criminal activity. This study seeks to assess the strength of the play-based "Tools of the Mind" (TOM) program in improving preschoolers self-control. It will compare TOM to an alternative play-based program, called "Playing to Learn" (PTL), implemented in most YMCA Canada childcare settings across the country. This study hypothesizes that measures of self-control and other measures of social behavior and academic success in preschoolers after two years in the TOM program will be greater than measures of self-control and other measures of social behavior and academic success in preschoolers in the PTL program after two-years.

NCT ID: NCT02075333 Completed - Clinical trials for Cognitive Performance

The Effect of Ingesting or Rinsing Sucrose and Sucralose on Self-control, Cognitive Performance, and Blood Glucose

Start date: January 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of ingesting or mouth rinsing a sucrose (carbohydrate) versus a sucralose (carbohydrate-free) drink on self control, cognitive performance, and blood glucose level.
