Resumen

The number of people who experience anxiety disorders around the world has increased in the last few years. Studies report that meditation can reduce stress or anxiety. There are several videos on online platforms such as YouTube stating that they can reduce anxiety or stress. In this work, we present the results of a comparison between mediation at home following videos that can be found on YouTube and other methods for reducing anxiety such as their individuals’ preferred methods. Our results suggest that both methods are comparable, and that a few minutes of their own preferred methods for reducing anxiety can be as effective as a YouTube video. The methods and findings of this work can be of interest for testing applications and other techniques that may exist for reducing anxiety in users.
