2 intervention groups are designated in this study
50% chance of being blinded to the placebo group
Treatment Groups
Group I
PlaceboParticipants in the control condition will view a presentation that teaches inert information about anxiety, depression, and relationships such as definitions, prevalence rates, common problems associated with these conditions and available forms of treatment.
This presentation was used initially in Cuckrowicz & Joiner (2007) and has since been shown to be effective as a placebo in two previous ePREP studies (Braithwaite & Fincham, 2007; Braithwaite & Fincham, 2008).
This presentation is identical to the ePREP intervention in its set up, the only difference being, there is no information included in this presentation that teaches specific skills or strategies for improving relationships, depression or anxiety.
Group II
Active ComparatorThe ePREP intervention teaches individuals how to recognize and combat dynamic risk factors that lead to relationship distress.
