研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to explore whether asking participants to visualise a secure attachment figure or a neutral event leads to differences in self-reported felt security or depressed mood. Furthermore, the investigators aim to explore whether it is possible to keep a secure prime activated over 3 days via text message visualisation tasks.

研究组 & 干预措施
Neutral Condition
Participants in the neutral (control) condition of the attachment security priming experiment will be asked to spend time visualising neutral events (e.g., supermarket shopping)for 3-10 minutes at a time.
干预措施: Attachment security priming (Other)
Secure condition
Participants in the attachment security priming condition will be asked to complete visualisation tasks where they think about a secure attachment figure for between 3 - 10 minutes.
干预措施: Attachment security priming (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Depressed Mood 1
时间窗: Depressed mood will be measured on day 7 of the study (immediately after lab primes)
Depressed mood will be measured using the depression and anxiety items from the Profile of Mood States (POMS: McNair, Lorr, \& Droppleman, 1992), which equates to 24 items out of the original 65 on the POMS. Respondents use a 5-point Likert-type scale (0=Not at all, 4=Extremely) to rate the extent to which they have experienced various mood states over the past week. This questionnaire takes 5 minutes to complete.
