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.
