This research investigates the effectiveness of mind-body interventions (MBIs) in enhancing emotional well-being, which includes aspects like happiness and life satisfaction. It aims to identify the key components of emotional well-being and develop reliable methods to measure them. By leveraging interdisciplinary expertise, the project seeks to understand how MBIs can promote emotional well-being across different age groups, from children to adults facing health challenges. The research will also explore the mechanisms through which these interventions may work, providing insights that could inform future therapeutic practices.
