Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Measured at 2-week, 1-month and 2-month follow up: 1. Scores on the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003); measuring general reappraisal ability and commonly employed strategies. 2. The Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS; Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988); a 20-item self-report mood scale, with 10 items measuring positive emotions and 10 items assessing negative emotions. 3. The Paced Auditory Serial Attention Task (PASAT; Gronwall, 1977); measuring working memory and near-transfer effects of the intervention. 4. The Digit Span Task (Wechsler et al., 2008); measuring working memory and far-transfer effects of the intervention. 5. The Colour-Shape Task (Miyake, Emerson, Padilla, & Ahn, 2004); measuring set-shifting. 6. The Go/No-Go task (Rush, Barch, & Braver, 2006); measuring response inhibition.	—
