By manipulating variables that are hypothesized to be associated with social dysfunction and symptom change in high worriers who exhibit clinically meaningful levels of worry and social dysfunction, we will examine the associations between these target variables and social dysfunction and symptom change and identify processes controlling social dysfunction and symptoms.
Efficacy
Confirmatory
Explanatory
At Post point (i.e., end of intervention) and Follow-up point which is 3 months later of Post point: (1) Sheehan Disability Scale, (2) Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, (3) Patient Health Questionnaire-9.
Classification of the percentage of subjects achieving functional and/or symptomatic resolution at the end of the intervention period (post) and 3 months later (follow-up):
(1) Recovery: Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) scores below the remission criteria (<= 6) and Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) scores below remission criteria (<= 47)
(2) Functional remission only: Sheehan Disability Scale score below the cutoff (<= 6)
(3) Symptomatic remission only (improvement): Percentage of person achieving symptomatic remission criteria and clinically significant change on the PSWQ (>= 7 points reduction and final score on PSWQ <= 47)
Ecological Momentary Assessment-social function items change between Baseline term (1 week before intervention start) to Post term (1 week later of the end of intervention term).

A total of three sessions of online intervention, one session per week, will be conducted on the following topics
Session 1: Implement psychoeducation targeting attentional control abilities and seek to implement Attention Training Technique twice a day as homework targeting the same subject.
Session 2: Psychoeducation targeting negative metacognitive beliefs about worry will be conducted and homework targeting the same subjects will involve conducting the Self-Instruction Training.
Session 3: Implement psychoeducation targeting constructive attentional strategies. Also, seek to implement the Situational Attentional Refocusing as homework targeting similar targets.
A total of three sessions of online intervention, one session per week, will be conducted on the following topics
Session 1: Implement psychoeducation targeting attentional control abilities and seek to implement Attention Training Technique twice a day as homework targeting the same subject.
Session 2: Psychoeducation targeting negative metacognitive beliefs about worry will be conducted and homework targeting the same subjects will involve conducting the Worry Postponement Experiment and the Loss of Control Experiment.
Session 3: Only sharing of the past week's homework will be conducted.
