SECONDARY
Five secondary scales for measuring aspects related to well-being were considered in order to evaluate the participant’s overall psychological state, using SWLS, the positive and negative subscales of PANAS, DERS, and the mental and physical components of SF-36. Overall, secondary outcomes revealed that during the experiment, participants exhibited changes in their psychological state that did not depend on the treatment group they were part of. All changes across time reflect an overall tendency to improve well-being and decrease anxiety and difficulties in emotional regulation, with the exception of the physical symptoms component of SF36, which tended to decrease in the post-treatment measures from baseline levels.
