(unpublished) Self as Context Intervention for Task Persistence

We are in the process of testing the effects of a self-as-context intervention on two measures of task persistence (breath holding and a difficult math task). We used an active control condition involving the same metaphor and exercise, but emphasizing self-as-content and emotion control strategies throughout. The results of the intervention will be analyzed soon and included on this page.

We would really appreciate any feedback regarding the intervention scripts. If you have any comments or suggestions please contact Mike Levin at levinm2@gmail.com.
