Primary outcome measure(s)
PANAS - Positive and Negative Affects Scale — From enrollment to one week after the end of the intervention. Evaluates subjective well-being emotional dimensions. The PANAS is a self-report instrument composed of 10 items that assess positive affect and 10 items that assess negative affect. The items consist of adjectives and are answered on a five-point Likert scale corresponding to how much a person feels the emotions described by the adjectives: (1) not at all; (2) a little; (3) moderately; (4) quite a lot; and (5) extremely. The sum of the scores of all items relating to each construct provides the total score for positive and negative affect. Some examples of items are: a) distressed; b) excited; c) inspired; and d) irritated.
LSS - Life Satisfaction Scale — From enrollment to one week after the end of the intervention. Assesses the cognitive dimension of subjective well-being. The instrument consists of five items that evaluate an individual's level of satisfaction with their living conditions. Each item is answered on a seven-point Likert scale ranging from (1) strongly disagree to (7) strongly agree. The sum of the scores for all items provides the total life satisfaction score. Some examples of items are: a) my life is close to my ideal; and b) if I could live my life again, I wouldn't change almost anything.
