Reducing Depression via Brief Interpersonal Mutuality Training (IMT): A Randomized Control Trial
نویسندگان
چکیده
In depression, friendships may be compromised because depressed individuals respond more negatively to peers’ success. Increasing empathic support following another’s success (Freudenfreude) could improve relationships. The effectiveness of an Interpersonal Mutuality Training (IMT) protocol designed to increase expression of Freudenfreude was evaluated in undergraduates by comparing IMT with a TAU control, Active Listening Training (ALT). Ratings of mood and target relationships were better in the experimental IMT than the ALT group following the 2 week training period. This suggests that IMT improved mood and enhanced relationships.
