In the researchers' words

The primary aim of the proposed Randomised Control study is to investigate the effects of a socially assisted robot (i.e. Purrble) and a bespoke Single Session Intervention (SSI) on students' anxiety (measured by GAD7) over the period of the academic term (in comparison to a wait-listed student group). Secondary aims include investigating the effects of the Purrble and SSI on students' depression, emotion regulation processes, and quantitative and qualitative (interviews) measures of engagement with the intervention.
