Abstract in brief

  • This study examined how active commuting (like walking or cycling) influences psychological wellbeing over time by analyzing data from nearly 18,000 adults in the British Household Panel Survey.
  • The findings showed that active travel and walking were linked to better psychological wellbeing and fewer psychological symptoms compared to car travel, even after accounting for socioeconomic and health factors.
  • Prompting shifts from car travel to active commuting, along with increased walking time, also contributed to improved wellbeing, suggesting that encouraging active travel could be beneficial for mental health.]
