A groundbreaking study led by Sooyeon Jeong investigated whether a social robot that delivers positive psychology sessions could enhance the well-being of 35 undergraduate students in the U.S.
Each student received their own 'Jibo' to be kept in their on-campus dorm room, programmed to deliver seven sessions on key positive psychology practices, allowing flexible participation.
Students who participated in the study reported improved mood, well-being, and greater readiness to change, suggesting technology can effectively support mental health.
Positive psychology focuses on enhancing well-being by building on strengths and recognizing the positive aspects of life, offering a balanced path to personal fulfillment.
