Abstract

This study investigates the impact of a brief training session teaching an adapted version of behavioural activation tailored to address the social needs of graduate students. The training is hypothesized to enhance participation in social activities and the perceived quality of existing relationships, which would decrease loneliness and intent-to-leave.
