Abstract
The present research aimed to examine the effects of a multicomponent positive psychological intervention on parents’ well-being in Hong Kong. Participants were parents of young children (N = 120; Mage = 37.19 years, SD = 4.71, range = 24–53; female = 95.00%) who participated in the one-month randomized control trial. Participants were randomly assigned into the intervention (n = 50) and waitlist control groups (n = 70). Parents in the intervention group received two online workshops and an evidence-based smartphone application that targeted four positive psychological skills: (1) mindful parenting; (2) hope; (3) positive reappraisal; and (4) growth mindset. The results of the a multivariate regression analysis revealed that the intervention significantly improved various dimensions of participants’ positive psychological skills, subjective well-being, and psychological well-being. Our study emphasizes the well-being payoffs linked to cultivating positive psychological skills among parents of young children.
