What is it about?

We focused on the vacation (after-) effects of short vacations in the Netherlands (4 or 5 days) in 80 workers. Vacationers report more and higher quality conversations with their spouse during vacation. Vacation effects on well-being were more pronounced in people experiencing high relaxation, mental detachment from work and pleasure from vacation activities.
