Combating Fatigue: Join Our Research Study

Thank you for your interest in our research!

This research is a pilot study on an emerging strategy of treating and combating fatigue based on cognitive psychology. In this study you will fill out a few questionnaires and participate in a word game.

​

How Will the Study Work?

The study takes place entirely over the app and has no set dates or meetings. This study has 3 parts: a pre-test, post-test and training. There are 3 training sessions, with one session being unlocked after a certain amount of time. The last day also includes the post-test, which marks the end of the study. The study is organized as follows:

​

Day 1: Pre-test & Training 1 (approx. 30 mins)

Day 2: Training 2 (approx. 10 mins)

Day 3: Training 3 & Post-test (approx 20 mins)

​​

The pre-test includes 5 sections of different questionnaires, including sections on fatigue, interpretations, personality, health, and demographic data.

​

The post-test only contains the sections on fatigue and interpretations. 

​

IMPORTANT:  The training sessions are unlocked after completing the pre-test. The first is unlocked immediately after completion. The other 2 open 24 and 48 hours after the pre-test respectively. The training sessions remain open if you miss them.
