Interventions
Distractions were set up to create a stressful environment while participants in the intervention group were taking the survey. These distractions, which were both COVID-19 protocol adherent and innocuous, included street traffic, popping balloons, loud music, students playing games in the lawn, phone alarm interruptions, and absurd lightsaber battles (Star Wars style). The distractions were designed to create a disturbing, irritating environment that simulated stress in a real-world scenario.
