Stoic Philosophy is a technique highly applied as base of many psychotherapeutic
techniques. Despite being a familiar concept in the field of Psychology, it has a wider
range of applications than is used even outside therapeutic settings. It is highly used
for clinical settings; furthermore, it is also seen as usable in cases of disruption in
emotional regulation and decision making, in young adults due to multiple changes in
an individual’s life. Thus, the paper worked on understanding the effect of Stoic Journaling
Prompts on non-clinical young adults facing these difficulties. The study investigated
the relationship between emotional dysregulation and decision-making skills in young
adults (18 to 25 years) and tested the effect of the Stoic Technique of journaling prompts
on them. 61 participants were taken for this study, with no gender-based gap. Further
divided into groups of 6 each, the control and experimental groups. The experimental
group was involved in a 21-day interventional activity. The study was conducted on a
pre-test and post-test basis. The study showed a significant relationship between ED
and DM, whereas the interventional activity had no significant effect on the variables. In
the current study, the prompts did not have a significant effect on the sample, leaving
scope for further research.
