Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This two-session experimental study investigates the impact of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy delivered via a virtual agent on user motivation and psychological distress. The research involved 35 participants who completed questionnaires before and after sessions focused on automatic negative thoughts, with follow-up data collected one week later. Results indicated significant reductions in distress and state anxiety, alongside increased recognition of negative thinking patterns, although motivation did not clearly correlate with symptom changes.
