Evidence-based life coaching for senior high school students: Building hardiness and hope
Abstract
Objective:To extend the knowledge base on the use of life coaching as an applied positive psychology. Studies to date have utilised community samples with participants of varying ages and most research has used adult community samples. The present study is unusual in that it examined the efficacy of an evidence-based (cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused) life coaching programme in enhancing cognitive hardiness and hope in senior female high school students. Design:In a randomised controlled experimental design, 56 female senior high school students (mean age 16 years) were randomly allocated to an individual life coach (N=28) or to a wait-list control group (N=28). Method:10 teachers were trained in theories and techniques of coaching psychology through a manualised ‘Teacher as Coach’ workshop. Participants were randomly allocated to a Teacher-Coach with whom they met individually for 10 sessions over two school terms. Results:Life coaching was associated with significant increases in levels of cognitive hardiness and hope, and significant decreases in levels of depression. Conclusions:Life coaching may be an effective intervention for high school students.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
