The SOPHIE study investigates the efficacy of the online-intervention SOPHIE for adolescents with subclinical social anxiety (i.e., indicated prevention) or with a social anxiety disorder in a randomized controlled trial. The intervention group is thereby compared to a care of usual control group. In addition, ecological momentary assessment is used to examine the implementation of the learned contents in the adolescents' everyday life and to frequently assess possible maintaining factors of social anxiety to model them as mediators of change.

Die BePart-Studie erforscht die Wünsche und Bedürfnisse von Jugendlichen in Bezug auf ein Online-Interventionsprogramm durch qualitative Interviews. Welche Inhalte, Gestaltungsaspekte oder Anleitungen sind für sie wichtig und warum? Die Antworten werden transkribiert und ausgewertet.
