Summary

The proposed study aims to evaluate whether different features of a relaxation room affect how individuals recover from acute stress. This study will use a unique methodology to capture participants' physiological and behavioral measures through a combination of non-invasive technologies, including wearables devices, active sensors, cognitive tasks, and/or subjective questionnaires. Participants will perform a stress induction task, after which they will rest in a relaxation room. Physiological measures and cognitive performance will be recorded throughout the experiment to determine whether features of the relaxation room promote recovery after acute stress. Identifying the occurrence of stress and ways to potentially reduce the effects of stress could lead to novel interventions for helping individuals reduce work-related stress.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	MindBreaks - Audio-visual	A "MindBreaks" room is designed to deliver short, effective, and restorative breaks to help increase energy, reduce stress, enhance mood, improve focus, and boost performance. For this intervention, the MindBreaks room will contain visual and auditory stimuli.
BEHAVIORAL	MindBreaks - Auditory-only	A "MindBreaks" room is designed to deliver short, effective, and restorative breaks to help increase energy, reduce stress, enhance mood, improve focus, and boost performance. For this intervention, the MindBreaks room will contain only auditory stimuli.
BEHAVIORAL	MindBreaks - Visual-only	A "MindBreaks" room is designed to deliver short, effective, and restorative breaks to help increase energy, reduce stress, enhance mood, improve focus, and boost performance. For this intervention, the MindBreaks room will contain only visual stimuli.
