Our objective was to extend past research by carefully selecting trials, incorporating novel moderators, focusing on adult nonclinical populations, well-being increases, and contrasting the effects of therapies focusing on subjective, psychological, or a combination of the well-being. Unlike earlier studies, we contrasted the impact of conventional therapy and technology-assisted therapies on a variety of outcomes. With a total of 16,085 participants, they included 68 randomized controlled studies of nonclinical categories. The data showed that well-being is improved by efficient psychological therapy. The impact size (Cohen's d) was reduced to 0.06 for psychological well-being, 0.22 for subjective well-being, and 0.43 overall when psychological and emotional well-being were considered.The immediate effects of longer interventions were more significant than those of shorter ones, and traditional methods-based interventions outperformed technology-assisted ones. Age had a negative correlation with short-term results, but when long-term effects were taken into account, the correlation turned positive. Overall, we discovered proof of the therapies' long-term impacts.
