Annotation
The problem of maintaining psychological health is most acute among various social groups in high-risk zones due to professional, social, and age-related factors: youth,
students, healthcare workers, and the elderly. This article presents a systematic review of modern technologies aimed at preserving psychological health in the context of increasing social and digital pressures. Special attention is paid to the analysis of five empirical studies that employed the Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS). The purpose of the article is to evaluate the effectiveness of digital and offline interventions across different social and age groups. The results demonstrate statistically significant improvements in subjective well-being indicators, supporting the view that these technologies can serve as tools for strengthening psychological health. The novelty of the work lies in its comprehensive approach to assessing the effectiveness of psychological technologies, the integration of international and Russian theoretical frameworks of health, and the systematization of data obtained in different sociocultural contexts.
