Twine

• Based on feedback in class, changed the click-to-scroll to multiple choice, with a hover over text for definition

Did a lot more in-depth research on how to combat each type of anxious thinking. Therefore, improving a lot of the exercises.

• Used this source to improve Personalization exercise

• When user tested in midterm demo, user found it awkward to input “Say what you would say to your friend to yourself.” So I changed that prompt to just be a small tip to consider.

• Added a “Not Sure” option to provide another way to disprove thinking

• Added more to if their “worst outcome” thinking has been validated. This helps users cope with their proved negative experiences, and teach them a way to reframe the situation to relieve anxiety.

User testing

Goals of User test:

• see if Personalization makes sense
• check thought specification

1. User Tester 1 (previous user tester from Round 1)

   • liked the feature where you can ask for help with thought specification
   • Liked the redesign of the categories very much
   • Change Predicting the future description, slightly incorrect grammar
   • “Relieving to see that” change wording because it was confusing to read at first. Decided maybe a thought bubble would be useful to show when the game is “talking” to you.
   • Suggests to change the color green, doesn’t think it matches the yellow (won’t follow this suggestion)

2. User Tester 2 (previous user tester from Round 1)

   • Liked the white texts in personalization
   • Personalization: was not relieved from the questions. Going to make a “yes” or “no” option to combat this
