Overview
Brief Summary
Brief Interventions (BI) based on Motivational Interviewing are effective to reduce alcohol use. In this study the investigators test the hypothesis that that an open Mindset increases the positive effects of BI.
University students take part in a voluntary screened for risky alcohol use. All students with risky alcohol use are eligible to the study and all receive the WHO's ASSIST-linked BI.
Participants receive a brief Mindset induction prior to receiving BI. They are are randomly assigned to either the induction of an open or a closed mindset according to the Mindset theory of action phases (Gollwitzer & Keller (2016). Mindset Theory. In: V. Zeigler-Hill, T.K. Shackelford (eds.), Encyclopedia of Personality and Individual Differences. New York: Springer).
The investigators measure the change in alcohol-related risk perception, treatment motivation and real alcohol drinking after the Brief Intervention in relation to the mindset induced before receiving the intervention.
