The goal of this pilot study is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the repetitive negative thinking (RNT) focused web-based self-help program in college students. The main questions it aims to answer are:
After obtaining informed consent, all participants will receive a set of questionnaires for baseline measurement. Participants will be randomized into two groups using block randomization: one as the intervention group and the other as the control group (waitlist condition). This method helps ensure an equal distribution of participants with similar characteristics in both groups, minimizing potential biases and increasing the validity of the study.
