Discrepancies of Expected and Actual Enjoyment in Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Abstract
This research project is a secondary analysis of a randomized ecological momentary intervention trial (SkillJoy: ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05040061). It will examine the possible trends in discrepancies between expected enjoyment of a future positive event and their reported enjoyment after the event in participants with GAD. The project will examine the associations between individual participants' average discrepancy scores and worry, self-perceived savoring ability, contrast avoidance, and depression levels.
