But one way to represent this data is just to take the average, just to normalize the score across all seven sliders. So the negative feelings normalized score, the average of all the negative feelings they rated. For the finishers, it was 37%. So that would be like an average of 37% anxious, 37% depressed, 37% angry. Yeah. So across all the feelings together, the average was 37.

And for the people who didn't finish, their average was 46. So that's a difference. Definitely about nine points higher.

And for the people who didn't finish, their average was 46. So that's a difference. Definitely about nine points higher.

Yeah. So the people who did not finish, actually, their initial negative feelings were definitely higher than the people who did finish. And then after getting their negative feelings, we get their positive feelings. So, again, we have seven different dimensions of positive feelings, which range from like how satisfied are you with your life? How loved do you feel? How optimistic do you feel?

So, again, we have seven different dimensions of positive feelings, which range from like how satisfied are you with your life? How loved do you feel? How optimistic do you feel?

How motivated do you feel? There's like these seven different positive feelings that we we've created. And we use those all throughout the feeling great app. So for this one, the average positive negative positive feelings normalized for finishers was forty nine percent. So they're actually not I mean, they're doing OK. They're like moderately happy.

You know, they're kind of right in the middle, but they could definitely be doing a lot better.

And then for the non-finishers, it was 45. So 49 versus 45. So the non-finishers are also, not only are they a little more upset, their negative feelings are higher, but also their positive feelings are a little bit lower compared to the people who did finish everything. So that's the feelings.

But then right after, so after I get them to rate their negative and positive feelings, I ask another interesting question, which was, Imagine it's one hour from now. You've just finished all of these meditations. How do you expect your feelings to look like? What do you expect these feelings to be at the end? So this is another like expectation question that we're getting into.

So this is another like expectation question that we're getting into.

But this is quite important, which is what do you think is going to happen to you? Like the previous questions we asked about expectation was like, do you think this would be helpful to you? Do you think it'll make you feel better? Do you think it'll make you feel worse? But now we're getting really detailed.

Do you think it'll make you feel better? Do you think it'll make you feel worse? But now we're getting really detailed.

We're asking actually on every single individual feeling, what do you think you will feel by the end of this? And so here's the numbers. So for the people who finished, they expected their negative feelings to drop down to 25. From 37 to 25, modest expectations. Modest, yeah. So they didn't really expect it to crush their feelings down, but they saw like a small drop.

That's what their expectation was. This isn't what actually happened. This is just what their expectation was. And then for the people who didn't finish, their expectation was 30. So they expected a 45 to 30 drop. So definitely the people who didn't finish, they also didn't think they would get, uh, as a substantial lower.
