This meta-analysis examines the impact of 51 positive psychology interventions on well-being and depressive symptoms across a sample of 4,266 individuals. The authors report that these interventions significantly enhance well-being and reduce depressive symptoms, with effectiveness influenced by factors such as participant age, depression status, and intervention format.
