Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary target criteria are the experience of entrapment (measured by the Entrapment Scale) and the experienced emotion regulation (measured by the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and the difficulties in the Emotion Regulation Scale). For both factors, the extent to which they influence the development of psychopathological stress should be measured. Furthermore, the influence of entrapment and psychological flexibility (measured by the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II) as well as of other factors such as age, gender or physical health related quality of life (measured by the Short-Form-12 Health Survey) on Covid-19 related fear is investigated.	—
