Academic Performance Feedback for Emotional Responses
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This study utilizes mobile health methods, including smartphone technology, subjective self-reports measures of emotion, behavioral tasks, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), physiological measures of attention and arousal, and measures of health and social support to identify neural mechanisms associated with individual differences in the temporal course of emotional responses. The aim of this project is to utilize real-world and personally relevant events as stimuli to better understand how the temporal course of emotional responses relate to risk for developing mental disorders.

Experimental Treatment
Participants undergo up to six study visits during one academic semester, including baseline and post-examination MRI assessments. During MRI sessions, participants anticipate and receive actual midterm examination grades while neural and physiological responses are measured. Participants also complete repeated mobile mood assessments and self-report measures throughout the semester.
