Gamification in the Treatment of Spider Phobia
Testing a Gamified App to Reduce Avoidance and Fear of Spiders in Spider Phobia
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Nov 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Mobile applications are more and more considered when implementing programs for treating mental disorders. The study aims to reduce avoidance and fear of spiders in spider-fearful individuals by combining exposure principles with gamification elements (e.g. narrative background, level progression, points, feedback). We investigate the efficacy of the gamified app in a remote online-therapy context.
