| 1) It is hypothesised that the positive interpretive training is effective in affecting existing tendencies to interpret ambiguous information negatively. After training, the experimental and control group will differ in their interpretation of ambiguous information. As opposed to the control group, the experimental group will give more positive interpretations and less negative interpretations. 2) if hypothesis 1) is confirmed, then the second hypothesis is that mood and general psychological functioning will remain relatively stable in the control group and will improve in the experimental group. More specifically, level of anxiety, depression, and general dysfunctioning will decrease and positive mood will increase in the experimental group compared to the control group. | — |
