The Impact of Values Clarification on Motivation to Declutter in People with Hoarding Problems: a Randomized Control Trial of a Prototype Mobile App Intervention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Values Clarification Mobile Application and Self-Reflection Mobile Application for Hoarding. Completed, enrolled 116 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the study is to investigate whether values clarification writing prompts administered via a prototype mobile application can help enhance motivation and facilitate decluttering in individuals with hoarding problems. This randomized control trial will help to (1) assess whether values clarification can improve outcomes in hoarding treatment by increasing motivation, (2) clarify which specific values clarification procedures are most beneficial, and (3) evaluate the impact of values clarification on overall symptoms and well-being. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group (receiving the values clarification intervention), psychological placebo group (self-reflection intervention), or the no intervention waitlist group.
