Rational Mind: Pilot Study Data for a Serious Game on Cognitive Restructuring

A pilot study dataset evaluating the effectiveness of the Rational Mind serious videogame compared to self-monitoring for reducing automatic thoughts. The data contain participant responses to the Automatic Thoughts Inventory (ATI) and the Adapted Gamified Experience Scale (GAMEX). The dataset was authored by Zarza-Hernandez, Marcos and last updated on 2025-12-14.

Use Cases

• Compare intervention effectiveness based on pre/post scores from the Automatic Thoughts Inventory.
• Analyze user experience and engagement metrics from the Adapted Gamified Experience Scale.
• Model the relationship between gamified experience scores and changes in negative automatic thought frequency.

Strengths

• Data includes responses from two validated instruments: the Automatic Thoughts Inventory and the Adapted Gamified Experience Scale.
• Dataset is from a controlled pilot study comparing a serious game intervention to a self-monitoring method.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
