Difference in pretest-posttest measures directly after completing a session with the app.a

Outcome measure Experiment 1—single sessions Experiment 2—repeated measures

Effect size Magnitude P value Effect size Magnitude P value
Intensity of the emotion −0.87 Large <.001 −0.67 Large <.001
Strength of the struggle −0.83 Large <.001 −0.66 Large <.001
Strength of maladaptive belief −0.82 Large <.001 −0.60 Large <.001
Strength of adaptive belief 0.27 Small <.001 0.28 Small <.001
Likelihood of unwanted action −0.79 Large <.001 b
Likelihood of valued action 0.68 Large <.001

aThe common interpretation for effect size values for paired Wilcoxon tests in published literature is small effect (0.10 to <0.3), moderate effect (0.30 to <0.5), and large effect (≥0.5) [33].

bIn experiment 2, pretest-posttest changes in participants likelihood of unwanted and valued action were not measured.
