Overview

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

This paper compares metacognitive restructuring and metacognitive defusion in a brief intervention targeting meta-worry among a subclinical college student sample. The study found both approaches equally effective in reducing believability, distress, and willingness related to targeted and untargeted worries. However, the authors note that longer session times for defusion suggest restructuring may be more cost-effective.
