结局指标
主要结局
Change in sustained attention
时间窗: Baseline to week 11
The Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) is used to assess attentional performance and mind wandering (i.e., off-task thinking which is typically self-generated and compromises the performance of the task at hand). The task uses a continuous performance paradigm involving button presses to frequently presented nontargets (numbers 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) but requires the participants to withhold their motor response to the infrequent target (number 3). Withholding responses only to infrequent targets encourages a pre-potent response and mind wandering. Real-time subjective experience of mind wandering during SART is assessed through experience-sampling probes randomly presented throughout the task.
Change in resilience
时间窗: Baseline to week 11
Resilience is assessed via the 6-item Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). The scores range from 6 to 30, with a higher score indicating a higher level of resilience.
