Design outcomes

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| All outcome measures are collected online and standardized via the LimeSurvey platform. At the first measurement point (T1), prior to the start of the intervention (baseline; pre-intervention), demographic variables (gender: male, female, other; age: numerical, in years) are collected, followed by the primary measures in the following order: 1. Subjectively perceived stress using the Perceived Stress Scale 10 (Klein et al., 2016) 2. The five personality factors using the Big Five Inventory 2 (Berres et al., 2019) 3. General self-efficacy expectations using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (Schwarzer & Jerusalem, 2003). At the second measurement point (T2, post-intervention), 28 days after the first measurement point (following completion of the intervention), the following variables are collected in the following order: 1. Subjectively perceived stress using the Perceived Stress Scale 10 (Klein et al., 2016) 2. Exclusively in the intervention group: Participants’ satisfaction with the intervention using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire adapted to Internet-based interventions (Boß et al., 2016) In the intervention group, participant adherence is assessed throughout the course of the intervention – defined as the active use of an intervention in accordance with the guidelines provided for that purpose (Cavanagh, 2010). Adherence is measured based on the number of module components completed in the four-week stress management training program. It is recorded through participants’ self-reports in four short intervention diaries, each of which is filled out immediately after the completion of each module. The adherence variable can take on 17 values (0-16 fully completed module components). | — |

|---|---|
| Throughout the intervention, the number of logins per individual page viewed on the study website is automatically recorded for each participant in the intervention group as a measure of engagement. This engagement variable serves as a control variable for the plausibility of participants’ reports on the number of module components completed and thus for the self-reported adherence variable (Perski et al., 2017). | — |
