Some research projects we have worked with
Healthy Learning Mind -research project, large randomized controlled trial, was conducted in co-operation with Folkhälsan Research Center and University of Helsinki. The aim was to explore the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention program on e.g. attention, self-regulation, resilience, emotion regulation, mental health and learning among 12-15 year old adolescents in Finnish comprehensive schools. We found that there are benefits in several measures. An updated list of publications can be found here.
Financial well-being (Universal Basic Income Experiment) was evaluated as a part of the larger experiment and demonstrated that in all aspects of subjective financial well-being, the basic income recipients reported a higher financial well-being and better financial situation than those in the control group; however, in terms of stress and financial management, the differences were more subtle.
