87 participants with moderate or greater depression symptoms were recruited online for a two-week randomized controlled trial. The study, by Justin Dainer-Best, assessed the effects of Positive Self Reference Training (PSRT) versus a neutral control on self-referent processing and depressive symptoms. Data includes measurements of positive and negative adjective processing and depression symptoms at baseline, one week, and two weeks.
Use Cases
- Analyzing the effect of a two-week online mental imagery intervention on positive self-referent cognition.
- Comparing changes in depressive symptomatology between an active training group and a neutral control group.
- Modeling the relationship between changes in self-referential processing and reductions in depression symptoms.
Strengths
- Data supports a randomized controlled trial design with an active group (n=44) and a control group (n=43).
- Longitudinal measurements were taken at three time points: baseline, one week, and two weeks.
- The associated manuscript is accepted for publication in Behaviour Research and Therapy.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific modeling tasks.
