2. Gist of Study Yelling = effective calmer For 3 days: participants YELL (in an open space) whenever they feel stressed Text me back with a yes/no response on whether that helped them feel better + optional additional comments Pretty Simple
3. Active Participation was Tough Facebook, Twitter, Email Lists Surprisingly ineffective Ended up resorting to asking my friends Still only got 4 participants Even among 4 participants, had to constantly remind them that the study was going on I didn’t set enough behavioral triggers Difficulties here = surprising and frustrating
4. However.. From the few responses that I DID get…it was obvious that YELLING WORKS!
5. Potential next steps Legitimizing yelling at a certain time Social stigma = large barrier to participation Possible (Primal Screams on Midnight of Dead Week) Establish this activity as normal behavior Through Facebook?
