What are the key goals of this experiment?

"This trial, tracked over a span of up to three months post-intervention, is aiming to analyse Mean differences in Psychological Threat using Ecological Momentary Assessment. Secondary objectives include appraising Mean changes in Meaning Making and Positive Reappraisal through the means of Positive Construals & Apprisal (1-5 Likert scale), assessing Mean performance on Preparation for Future Learning Tasks by scoring accuracy across items and applying rubrics to open-ended explanation items ,as well as measuring Judgments of Confidence, Anxiety & Difficulty during Physics Assessments with 1-6 Likert scales."
