The Editor-in-Chief of Well-Being Sciences Review, in accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Retraction Guidelines (Version 3, August 2025), hereby retracts the above-cited article (Wang, et al., 2026).

An internal investigation has confirmed that the findings reported in this article have previously been published elsewhere without proper attribution to the original source, without disclosure to the editor, without permission to republish, or without adequate justification. This constitutes a case of redundant (duplicate) publication, which violates the journal’s policy and undermines the integrity of the scholarly record. 

Consequently, the journal no longer has confidence in the originality or reliability of the work and considers retraction the only appropriate course of action. This decision has been approved by the Editor-in-Chief and the Publisher. The online version of the article has been watermarked “RETRACTED” and remains freely accessible. The metadata (title, author names, affiliations, and DOI) are retained to preserve transparency of the scholarly record. The journal apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.
