Summary

This quantitative study assesses the baseline anxiety, satisfaction with life, and loneliness scores in students and staff in a global study. Assessments at baseline will include the GAD, SWLS, and UCLA loneliness scale, and the same questionnaires were collected in Week 4 and Week 8. The Google form questionnaire will ask the high schoolers and staff for their email address and their parent's email address (if they are under 18). The form will also include a question eliciting interest in participation in the 4-weeks Heartfulness program. The program will include tools that promote a heart-based nurturing environment focusing on relaxation, positivity, and developing growth mindsets.
