Transition to College/Miami University
Sponsor: Miami University
Summary
The current project will test whether a computerized training program, Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM), can be used as a prevention inoculation tool to reduce vulnerability to anxiety among incoming college students. Those not in the CBM condition will complete a symptom tracking condition (ST). We will also test whether ST influences vulnerability to anxiety among incoming college students.

Interventions
Cognitive Bias Modification
CBM training. For those in the CBM condition, participants will complete a task. In this task, they will read ambiguous, two- to four-sentence social-related scenarios on the computer. The final word in the scenario will have a missing letter. Participants will type the missing letter. Participants will also be asked to answer a "Yes/No" comprehension question about the scenario. The missing letter will "resolve" the ambiguity of the scenario in a positive way, intended to train participants to have more positively-biased interpretations of ambiguous social information
Symptom tracking
Participants will track their symptoms
