Supporting the transition to higher education: examination of state- and trait-level effects of a multicomponent positive psychological intervention for university students

The study demonstrates that PPIs can effectively build psychological resources during educational transitions, particularly those related to emotion regulation. However, other resources and outcomes (e.g., character strengths) were less affected. Thus, more tailored approaches and selective interventions are recommended to address these areas comprehensively and ensure a more holistic improvement in student wellbeing.
