Exploring Perceived Changes to Mental Health When Restricting and Resuming Specific Adaptive Daily Actions: Longitudinal Qualitative Substudy Within a Randomized Controlled Trial
The findings reinforce the centrality of specific daily actions, namely the TYD, to people's subjective well-being and suggest an additional "macro-level" comprising environmental and external influences. Exposure to behavioral restriction and resumption/recovery served to highlight the importance of certain factors for mental health and appeared to improve people's sense of agency and locus of control regarding their mental health.
