Guided Imagery Training and Self-Referential Processing

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of a guided imagery paradigm for reducing negative ways of thinking about the self. There will be at least 60 participants enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin. Participants will be randomly selected to receive one of two types of trainings, each over the course of two weeks. Participants will undergo the training exercises at home. The training exercises will help them to think differently about themselves. Participants will be able to determine if they are eligible, and then participate, by filling out a screening questionnaire online.
