The success of psychological therapy can be impacted by patients' beliefs, such as their belief in their own ability to complete therapy and their belief that therapy will work. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether and when scientific information about distress and coping can affect beliefs about psychological therapy in adults who experience anxiety. This study will compare two different types of scientific information in a one-hour study. Participants will view educational videos for 30 minutes and complete surveys, including quiz questions about the videos and surveys about their beliefs about psychological therapy.
