Optimization of Late Imagery Rescripting Research Using Generative Artificial Intelligence
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Generalized Anxiety, Fear of Failure, Rumination
In brief
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of imagery rescripting (ImRs) in the context of utilizing large language models (LLMs). Intervention will involve the prior presentation of the most aversive fragment of the memory, the so-called 'hotspot.' This intervention will allow for the replication of the effect described by Dibbets and Arntz (2016), according to which the prior activation of the most emotional element of a memory enhances the effectiveness of ImRs. The study is also significant due to another ongoing study in which a substantial number of participants have already been examined; however, due to the exhaustion of funds, it was not possible to utilize the remainder of the recruited sample. Investigating an additional condition will allow for a more complete utilization of the available participant pool and significantly increase the project's scientific value by comparing the traditional ImRs mechanism with its AI-generated version.
