Study Overview
Brief 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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Student Adjustment to College Questionnaire
Time Frame: Participants report on their past few days. The SACQ is administered at T1-T5. T2 occurs within ~1 week of T1/baseline. T2-T5 are spaced ~1 week apart from each other. Sessions are ~60-90 minutes.
Self-report on the degree to which the participant feels they are transitioning to college successfully.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in Interpretations(Participants report interpretations to a variety of situations. The IQ is administered at T1 and T4. T2 occurs within 1 week of T1/baseline. T2-T5 are spaced ~1 week apart from each other. Sessions are ~60-90 minutes.)
- Change in Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale-Self-Report(Participants report on symptoms during the past week. The LSAS-SR is administered at T1-T5. T2 occurs within ~1 week of T1/baseline. T2-T5 are spaced ~1 week apart from each other. Sessions are ~60-90 minutes.)
