Research Study Description

What will you be asked to do in the study?
You will be asked to participate in a six-week self-esteem intervention via Zoom, which will be audio-recorded. Your video will be off.

In the first five minutes of the first Zoom session, you will be given a demographic survey containing three questions asking about gender, spoken language, and race.

You will then be asked to participant in six (6) weekly sessions in a group setting (about 3-5 other participants).

During the sessions, you will be asked to complete worksheets, answer questions about your feelings, and participate in group discussions.

At the end of sessions 2-5, you will be asked to answer weekly monitoring questions. At the end of the last session, you will complete a post-test online. At the end of the last session, you will be given the option to verbally answer three questions about how you think the study went (social validity).
