Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>1) It is hypothesised that the positive interpretive training is effective in<br /><br>affecting existing tendencies to interpret ambiguous information negatively.<br /><br>After training, the experimental and control group will differ in their<br /><br>interpretation of ambiguous information. As opposed to the control group, the<br /><br>experimental group will give more positive interpretations and less negative<br /><br>interpretations.<br /><br>2) if hypothesis 1) is confirmed, then the second hypothesis is that mood and<br /><br>general psychological functioning will remain relatively stable in the control<br /><br>group and will improve in the experimental group. More specifically, level of<br /><br>anxiety, depression, and general dysfunctioning will decrease and positive mood<br /><br>will increase in the experimental group compared to the control group.</p><br>
