Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mental Imagery

Mental Imagery consists of imagining a situation in the most vivid way possible, including all sensory modalities (visual image, sensations, smells, sounds, emotions). It can be used to act as a motivational amplifier, by pre-experimenting a situation in imagination. The best possible self imagery consists of imagining the best version possible of one's self , after accomplishing all their major life goals, in a future where everything turned out the best way possible. What does this best version of you do, in terms of actions, on an everyday basis ? The planned imagery exercise consists of rehearsing an activity in a mental way, before actually doing it. It can help to visualize the outcome of this activity and benefits it can provide to the participant before actually getting it done.

BEHAVIORAL

Control condition (activity planification)
