Project A16 will extend their previous work on the role of illness beliefs as a crucial determinant of treatment expectation and treatment outcomes in major depression by turning to the rapidly developing field of internet-based interventions (IBI). Knowledge about the role of expectations, their malleability, and modulating contextual factors in IBI is lacking, and the setting provides a unique opportunity to delineate the temporal dynamics of treatment expectations and their interplay with treatment experiences, putative psychotherapeutic mechanisms, symptom perception, and side effects, and how these influence health-related decisions.
