What this trial studies

This interventional study tests whether brief online activities are acceptable and can produce short-term changes in mood and attitudes. Adults aged 18-65 with a diagnosed psychotic disorder (schizophrenia group) and healthy controls without a current DSM-5 diagnosis will complete the activities and mood measures. The protocol uses brief, web-delivered tasks and compares responses between the clinical and healthy samples to look for initial signals of benefit. The work is focused on feasibility and preliminary efficacy and is conducted at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
