Abstract
Solitude is often stigmatized, yet research suggests intentional time alone can be beneficial. This research tests "Solitude Crafting," a novel two-part intervention to reshape emerging adults' experiences by de-stigmatizing solitude and guiding meaningful solitary activities. Pilot study (N = 120) assessed the intervention's feasibility and impact over five days. The full study (N = 75) tested the intervention, examining Solitude Crafting alongside a comparison time point in a staggered, within-subject design. Results indicated post-intervention improvements in emotional well-being, with participants attributing these benefits to the intervention. Our findings present Solitude Crafting as a promising avenue for reframing attitudes toward solitude and enhancing well-being when alone.
