Study links 'woke' beliefs to higher anxiety and depression in Finland

A series of studies in Finland finds a correlation between 'woke' attitudes and decreased mental well-being, with significant gender differences in views on social justice.

A Finnish study reveals a correlation between 'woke' attitudes and increased instances of anxiety and depression, particularly among women.
The research utilized a newly developed Critical Social Justice Attitude Scale to assess attitudes towards social justice in Finland.
Significant gender differences were observed, with women more likely to view 'woke' ideas positively compared to men.
Political orientation was found to be more predictive of mental well-being than critical social justice attitudes alone.
The study's author cautions against generalizing the findings to other contexts, noting the need for validation in North American samples.
