This study is expected to elucidate the psychological mechanisms underlying the consumption of non-alcoholic beer and mood-regulating behaviors under stressful conditions, thereby providing fundamental knowledge that may contribute to the development of novel beverages and the proposal of drinking behaviors that support the maintenance of psychological and physical well-being even under stressful circumstances.In addition, as a secondary objective, this study will explore how the selection of emotion regulation strategies changes in response to changes in stress levels.
Efficacy
Psychological measures (perceived stress and state anxiety)
Measurements will be conducted at the following time points: before the start of the trial; 5 minutes before the start of the task instructions; 5 minutes before speech preparation; 5 minutes before the post-speech mood-regulation task; every 5 minutes for a total of four measurements after the mood-regulation task; and 10 minutes before debriefing.
Psychological measures (subjective anxiety)
Measurements will be conducted at the following time points: before the start of the trial; 5 minutes before the start of the task instructions; 5 minutes before the start of speech preparation; 5 minutes before the post-speech mood-regulation task; every 5 minutes for a total of four measurements after the mood-regulation task; and 10 minutes before debriefing.
Upload status of the speech preparation notes, degree of completion of speech preparation, palatability rating of the beverage consumed, and mood-regulation behaviors.
