A focus group with 12 participants** was conducted in March, 2022, to determine the impact of using core Take2Minutes activities to boost one’s positivity and overall wellbeing.
Participants took a Modified Differential Emotions Scale (mDES) test in the beginning and at the end of the 31-day period. The mDES measures the ratio of positive and negative emotions a person experiences over a given time period.
Throughout the month, each person was instructed to complete the following Take2Minutes activities (in addition to receiving daily positive SMS messages):
: initial mDES Score for participant
: mDES Score for participant after 31 days of using Take 2 Minutes
* participant did not complete the assigned activities
** one participant did not complete the final mDES questionnaire
