Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Project PersonalityExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The web-based growth mindset intervention, called Project Personality, is delivered entirely via Qualtrics and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. All intervention activities are self-administered by youth and delivered in a web-based format, including illustrations and audio-recordings of text. Intervention content is designed to maximize relevance for youths experiencing symptoms of depression, including excessive sadness and hopelessness.

Group II: Sharing Feelings InterventionActive Control1 Intervention

The Sharing Feelings Intervention is delivered entirely via Qualtrics, is self-administered by youth, and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. It is structurally similar to the growth mindset intervention, but it is designed to mimic supportive therapy (ST). The goals of the ST intervention is to encourage youths to identify and express feelings to close others; the intervention does not teach or emphasize specific skills or beliefs. In previous clinical trials, ST has resulted in significantly fewer reductions in youth internalizing problems compared to cognitive-behavioral and growth mindset interventions.
