Summary
This study looked at whether doing kind acts for others, with or without a reflection component, can improve positive feelings and overall well-being in teenagers aged 14 to 17. Over 4 weeks, participants either performed kind acts, did kind acts plus reflection, or simply reported their daily activities. The goal was to measure changes in mood and mental flourishing, not to treat any disease.
