Preliminary Report Prepared by Tyler D. Staples, MS LMLP July 31, 2022
“The primary aim of the current study was to investigate the impact, if any, of a novel, 9-week resilience and mindfulness training curriculum on measures of resilience and coping flexibility in climate activists. Results showed that the training curriculum did indeed increase resilience, indicated by an average increase of 8 points on the CD-RISC. Additionally, coping flexibility measured by the COFLEX also increased, with an average rise of 4.7 points from pretest to posttest. This rise in overall COFLEX scores was primarily driven by the Coping Versatility domain of the COFLEX, which saw a statistically significant increase of 4.2 points. Conversely, the COFLEX’s Reflective Coping domain scores was the only measurement that did not see a statistically significant change in scores.”
