简要总结
This study will consist of a randomized experimental group and a control group, In addition to the control and experimental group, there will also be a non-randomized motivated experimental group. Approximately 75 males and females from the ages of 18 to 80 will take part in this study. Subjects will be randomly divided into a Control and Experimental Group. Subjects for the control and experimental group will be recruited from a Tony Robbins Facebook page, and subjects in the experimental group (DWD Group) will be admitted to the Tony Robbins Date With Destiny Event (December 2019) in West Palm Beach for free, while the subjects randomly assigned to the control group, will not attend the event, but instead be required to a Gratitude Journaling experiment (Three Good Things Intervention). Psychological assessment surveys will be taken before the event, directly after the event, and one month following the event. The control group will take the psychological assessment before beginning journaling, directly after completing journaling, and one month following completion of journaling.
详细描述
Background:
A Pubmed or Google Scholar search reveals zero peer-reviewed articles examining Robbins' events, techniques, or principles, despite Robbins' enormous impact on culture, psychology, and individual lives. Furthermore, only poorly conceptualized studies testing clinically irrelevant hypotheses were ever conducted on Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), a constitutive framework for part of Robbins' methodologies. Due to the intimate link between beliefs, wellness, and disease, the investigators hypothesize that an intervention focused on belief-restructuring, trauma release, psychoeducation, hope, inspiration, & social support like participation in a Tony Robbins' event (e.g. DWD) will demonstrate significant mental and physical health outcomes.
The investigators hope to obtain a better understanding of:
- Whether Tony Robbins' DWD improves affect, depression symptoms, and well-being.
- Setup collaboration infrastructure and generate hypotheses for a future randomized controlled trial to determine short- and long-term physiological and health effects of Tony Robbins' interventions.
