I’m really pleased to share that my new article has been published in Psychology Today — and it’s been featured as an Essential Read!

It’s called “How the Science of Stoicism Can Boost Your Well-being.” In it, I talk about the Stoic Attitudes and Behaviours Scale (SABS), which we developed to measure authentic Stoicism — and how practising Stoic principles can improve resilience, reduce stress, and bring more meaning to everyday life.

Our research validating the Stoic Attitudes and Behaviours Scale (SABS) has recently been published in Cognitive Therapy and Research

This 40-item scale represents a breakthrough for psychology and philosophy research. Unlike previous measures that captured colloquial "stoicism" (emotional suppression), our scale measures authentic Stoic philosophy - focusing on wisdom, virtue, and flourishing.

We discovered seven empirically-derived dimensions of Stoicism

Which of these do you think was NOT one of the 7 dimensions of Stoicism?

- Beliefs About Control (BAC)

- Beliefs About Happiness (BAH)

- Stoic Mindfulness (SM)

- Stoic Taciturnity (ST)

- Virtue (V)

- Benevolence and Compassion (B&C)

- Ethical Development (ED)

- Stoic Worldview (SW)

* One of the above is not a dimension of true Stoicism - which one?
