Poster Session IX

Keyword: Happiness

Abstract: This randomized experiment tested whether quiet ego contemplation (QEC) training improves well-being and reduces stress. Results showed that a 3-session QEC intervention enhanced participants' subjective well-being and decreased stress through increased emotional intelligence. Effects persisted during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting QEC's potential for improving psychological health during high-stress periods.
