Study Summary
Study Design, Aims, and Population: The present study is a three-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT). The primary aim is to test the relative efficacy of two 8-week online interventions - Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) - in promoting diverse university students' social well-being (i.e., reduced loneliness, and enhanced social connectedness and perceived social support) compared to a Waitlist (WL) control group. The secondary aim is to examine the effects of CCT versus MBSR on the mental health of diverse university students compared to the WL group. Mental health is defined in this research as both positive mental health (i.e., happiness, positive emotions, meaning and purpose) and negative mental health (i.e., stress, anxiety, and depression). Additionally, another aim is to enroll 75% students of color and 50% male identifying students, whose social well-being and mental health is currently understudied, to better represent the sociodemographic diversity of the university student population in the literature. Study Rationale: The COVID-19 pandemic triggered widespread disruptions in social connections and relational bonds that robustly support a variety of mental and physical health-protective processes. University students' social well-being may have been especially impacted as universities provide a central context for socialization. At the same time, the pandemic exacerbated a pre-existing rise in cases of mental health conditions in university students. If found effective, online-based CCT and MBSR might serve as scalable psychological interventions to foster social thriving and mental health among diverse university students.
Primary Outcome
The UCLA LS-SF is a 10-item short-form to measure an individual's subjective feelings of loneliness and feelings of social isolation. Participants rate each item on a four-point scale ranging from 1 (I never feel this way) to 4 (I often feel this way). The UCLA LS-SF will be used as one measure out of three that will be aggregated into a single Social Well-Being Index (SWI) using latent variable modeling. Change = (Week 10 Score - Baseline Score)
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
- BEHAVIORAL Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT)
