| The primary outcome is anxiety sensitivity, measured by the original 16-item Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) developed by Reiss et al., 1986. This outcome will be assessed at two time points: pre-test and post-test. Timepoint: T0 (Pre-test): Before the interventionT1 (Post-test): Immediately after the interventionThe outcome scores will be treated as continuous variables and analyzed using appropriate statistical methods (e.g., repeated measures ANOVA or linear mixed models) to evaluate both within-group and between-group differences. Method of measurement: Spitzer's 7-item generalized anxiety disorder scale. Rees et al.'s anxiety sensitivity scale. Questionnaire of metacognitions and positive meta-emotions. Self-administered Vakirios Ambivalence Questionnaire.;Positive metacognitions and meta-emotions refer to an individual's beliefs about the usefulness or positive consequences of cognitive and emotional processes, especially when facing challenging situations. This variable includes evaluation of one's mental performance, the value of positive thoughts and emotions, and perceived control over them. This construct plays an important role in emotional regulation, coping styles, and vulnerability to psychological disorders. In this study, it will be assessed using the Positive Metacognitions and Meta-Emotions Questionnaire (Beer & Moneta, 2010). Timepoint: T0 (Pre-test): Before the interventionT1 (Post-test): Immediately after the interventionThe outcome scores will be treated as continuous variables and analyzed using appropriate statistical methods (e.g., repeated measures ANOVA or linear mixed models) to evaluate both within-group and between-group differences. Method of measurement: Positive metacognitions and meta-emotions will be measured using the Positive Metacognitions and Meta-Emotions Questionnaire (PMCEQ; Beer & Moneta, 2010). This 18-item self-report scale uses a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). Items in the | — |
