It has been repeatedly reported that deep pressure stimulation (DPS), often applied through weighted blankets, has the potential to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress. Building on these observations, we developed a paradigm to transfer this effect to everyday situations by examining the impact of weighted clothes, specifically T-shirts with integrated pads of varying weights (placebo, light, heavy), on well-being and stress perception. Over several days, participants wore these T-shirts and completed standardized questionnaires (i.e., PANAS, PSQ, BSQ, and WHO-5) in an experimental setting in which the different weights and the sequence of wearing them was varied systematically in a combined longitudinal and cross-sectional design. We found an overall effect of wearing those T-shirts on positive emotionality (as measured by the PANAS-P) as well as body-related anxiety (as measured by the BSQ), with significantly increased positive emotions, but reduced anxiety. Interestingly, the lightweight pads demonstrated the strongest effect, compared to the placebo pads (having hardly any weight) and the heaviest weights (that the participants probably felt uncomfortable with after a longer time of wearing them). These findings suggest that moderate DPS using light weights in everyday objects may be an effective method for improving general well-being by increasing positive emotionality and reducing stress and anxiety. These findings provide important insights for developing low-threshold interventions aimed at stress management and emotional regulation in everyday contexts. Future studies should further delineate the specific therapeutic effects of weighted objects in everyday situations as well as possible long-term outcomes of the intervention.
