Goals

The focus of the study is the mental well-being of children and how this can be promoted in digital environments. The goal of the study is to create a deeper understanding of children’s conceptions of mental well-being as well as children's own ideas for the promotion of that well-being through digital environments. According to the authors, the study is "based on the need to provide children an opportunity to actively participate and share their understanding of mental well-being promotion with others in light of their understanding of what online environments and their design can afford for this promotion."
