| Topic of the Dissertation: |
Resilience, the ability to cope with adversity, is important for maintaining well-being and reducing the likelihood of developing a depressive episode. The development and testing of a novel intervention to enhance resilience is the goal of this dissertation. To extend existing resilience training, the proposed intervention will build on recent emotion regulation research, focus on specific resilience processes, and use a personalized, just-in-time adaptive approach. A naturalistic assessment will be conducted to evaluate effectiveness and to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying resilience mechanisms and their associations with well-being and depression. |
