The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of an online positive psychological intervention on positive emotion, anxiety, depression, feelings of social isolation, sleep disturbance and a sense of meaning and purpose in the general public. The main question it aims to answer is:
Will the practice of positive emotion skills via a self-guided online platform reduce feelings of anxiety, depression, social isolation, and sleep disturbance, as well as increase well-being, positive emotion, a sense of meaning and purpose, life satisfaction, and general self-efficacy?
Participants will take part in an online positive psychological skill learning intervention for 6-8 weeks. Prior to beginning, immediately after, and 4 weeks after, participants will fill out measures of their wellbeing.

| Resilience Challenge | Behavioral | We previously have tested this online program in people facing health- and work-related stressors (e.g., dementia caregivers, healthcare workers), and in 2020 we enrolled adults in a test of the online program to support coping with the stress of the COVID pandemic. This intervention has been tailored for a widespread, public audience (e.g., we have added a few other safety measures including limits on public forum posting and have clarified wording on some of the intervention content to make it clearer and easier to understand). |
