Renowned Nigerian researcher Dr. Kennedy Obohwemu, who is based in the UK, has made significant contributions to the field of mental health research worldwide by offering a novel viewpoint on emotional resilience and self-comforting behaviors.
The Self-Comforting Attitude Theory (SCAT) and its companion Self-Comforting Attitude Scale (SCAS) both incorporate his accomplishment.
The research was motivated by the lecturer's personal experience during the COVID-19 lockdowns, which highlighted the use of internal resources in coping with emotional discomfort, according to Oxford Brookes University (OBU) in England.
"People frequently rely on internal resources to stay emotionally afloat in times of crisis," he stated. However, their perception of those tactics—whether they consider self-comforting to be weak or intelligent, indulgent or necessary—largely determines whether they use them.
That is the focus of SCAT and SCAS, which is set to transform emotional wellness.” The publication of SCAT and SCAS completes a four-part conceptual framework, known as the Self-Comforting Framework, providing researchers and clinicians with tools to evaluate both the actions and attitudes that underpin emotional resilience.
Obohwemu’s growing portfolio of influential research positions him as a leading voice in psychological science.
The breakthrough, it was learnt, complements his previously acclaimed work, the Self-Comforting and Coping Theory (SCCT) and the Self-Comforting and Coping Scale (SCCS).
