Interventions
Anxiety-induced task
Subjects will be asked to describe their most anxious thoughts and write each of them in a detailed scenario. The scenarios will be based on the answers to the Worry and Anxiety Questionnaire, in order to validate the procedure by a standardized examination. During the task, the scenarios will be successively presented to the subjects, on a digital computer medium in written and oral format. Subjects will be asked to actively focus on these negative thoughts with maximum concern, without seeking to control their emotions.
