Estudo piloto RCT de uma intervenção psicológica online para Sonhar Acordado Mal-adaptativo em estudantes universitários

Maladaptive Daydreaming (MD) is an under-researched dysfunctional cognitive process. As a clinically relevant dimension, MD involves excessive and uncontrollable use of daydreaming as an emotional coping mechanism, which leads to psychological suffering and functional impairment. MD also compromises academic progress in university students. Our project presents four main objectives: assess psychological correlates of MD in university students and expand knowledge on MD in the Portuguese academic context, translate and validate an MD measure to European Portuguese, collaborate with CBT therapists to explore the viability of an online iCBT intervention for MD and conduct a feasibility pilot RCT study to assess preliminary efficacy to reduce MD in a sample of university students.
