Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Standardised Digital Intervention

Video intervention designed to induce an increase in positive mood in older adults. Includes comedy clips, uplifting music and positive imagery. Intervention approximately 15-20 minutes in length. This includes 3 short comedy clips (fork handles sketch, the two Ronnie's; A room with a view - faulty towers; Tim Vine Live stand-up extract), uplifting music (Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley; Happy Together - The Turtles), jokes and positive imagery. The content of the intervention has been informed by patient and public involvement, focus groups with older adults, and pilot testing.

OTHER

Individualised Digital Intervention

Similar to the standardised digital intervention, however, participants will be able to individualise the intervention by choosing video clips from a limited menu of choices. Intervention approximately 15-20 minutes in length. The 4 categories include stand-up comedy (Michael McIntyre, Tim Vine and Victoria Wood), sit-com (Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses and Two Ronnies), music (Elvis Presley, Last Night at the Proms, Roy Orbison) and variety (Britain's Got Talent, Strictly Come Dancing, Terry Wogan). Participants are able to select 3 of the videos, which are roughly 5 minutes in length, to reach a total of 15-20 minutes of content.
