📢 Introducing the Self-Comforting Attitude Theory (S**T) and the Self-Comforting Attitude Scale (SCAS) — now officially published in Mental Health & Prevention, a high impact journal indexed in Scopus and Web of Science.

🧠 While the SCCT/SCCS explored how we cope through self-soothing behaviours, S**T/SCAS focuses on our attitudes toward those behaviours. It’s the missing link in understanding emotional resilience from both a behavioural and cognitive perspective.

Dr. Kennedy Obohwemu’s groundbreaking research unveils the Self-Comforting and Coping Theory (SCCT), a pioneering framework that explains how people soothe themselves during times of stress. Alongside this, he introduces the Self-Comforting and Coping Scale (SCCS), a comprehensive tool that measures various self-comforting behaviors such as mindfulness, self-compassion, and cognitive reframing. This innovative work offers fresh insights into emotional resilience and has wide applications in mental health, education, and personal development.
