After meeting the inclusion criteria, patients will be randomly assigned to one of the three conditions (adherence priming, resource priming, or supportive resource priming).
More specifically, three methods of conducting the same treatment protocol are compared to each other using tandem peer-tutoring methodology (resource priming, supportive resource priming, and adherence priming).
Figure 1 depicts the 3 × 4 design with one between-subject factor (resource priming, supportive resource priming, or problem priming) and one within-subject factor (time: pre, mid, post, or follow-up).
The individuals with GAD will be randomly assigned to one of three priming conditions (resource priming, supportive resource priming, or adherence priming).
(3) Supportive resource priming: The supportive resource priming condition uses the same protocol as the resource priming condition (5 brief tandem peer-tutorings).
Do the resource priming conditions have comparable efficacy on GAD outcomes, general outcomes and dropout rates in comparison to the adherence priming condition?
Using videotapes, observer-based video analyses will be conducted: (a) Do the resource priming conditions show comparable observer-based adherence of the therapist in comparison to the adherence priming condition [ 54]?
Moreover, if inhibition, as reflected by negative priming, is mediated by individual resource capacity, then NP should disappear during aging only when individuals are engaged in a resource-demanding task.
The participants will be randomly assigned to three priming conditions: (a) adherence priming; (b) resource priming or (c) supportive resource priming [ 32, 39].
The absence of spatial compatibility effects at strong temporal overlap suggests that response conflicts due to stimulus-related priming depend on the availability of processing resources.
(b) Do the resource priming conditions result in more resource-activating micro-interventions than the adherence priming condition [ 55]? (c) Are the in-session processes predictors and mediators of session and therapy outcomes [ 43]? (2) Post-session outcomes.
