Study Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of present study is to evaluate whether a program of behavioral and cognitive procedures for emotional control, and assertive training, produces well-being and improvement in quality of life of healthy volunteers.

Detailed Description

Healthy volunteers,not presenting neurologic or psychiatric disorders, 18 years or older,both genders, were selected, after a medical examination, to participate in the study. In a randomized controlled trial, the volunteers were submitted to sessions of muscle relaxation (autogenic method), progressive self-focus meditation, and cognitive-behavioral training in self-control of negatives feelings. They were also trained to determine goals and to determine each step to reach them (plan of action).The volunteers have to apply this strategy to control emotional behavior and improve interpersonal relationship. Anxiety and depression scores will be determined using the Beck self evaluation scales (BDI and BAI); quality of life will be determined using WHO-QOL inventory and the Ryff Scale will be used to measure Psychological Well-Being.
