The results, derived from an analysis of 969 high school students from nine Australian secondary schools over two years, showed that students who were able to adjust their thinking, behaviour and emotions were more likely to report greater life satisfaction, and a greater sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. Class participation and motivation as well as self-esteem and life satisfaction were assessed to determine how students coped with changing or uncertain circumstances, with the results showing that those who were able to adjust accordingly were more likely to succeed. One guaranteed feature of young peoples lives into the future is that the world will constantly change on them, the studys lead author, Professor Andrew Martin, said. Young peo ple who can adapt to this change are likely to be most effective at coping and seizing tomorrows opportunities. This is the first known research to highlight the importance of adaptability in leading to positive outcomes in young peoples lives which, according to Martin, will help adults assist young people in navigating life. In identifying the components of adaptability and its effects, we are in a good stelle to help young people deal with their lives. Young people can be taught how to think about things differently, how to modify their behaviour, and how to adjust their emotions. When we help them do these things, we build their adaptability, and their future.
