Abstract
This daily diary study aims to understand the temporal relations between activist behaviors, emotions related to activism, emotion regulation, and wellbeing. Climate activists answer daily short surveys, analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Understanding these everyday dynamics contributes to theoretical advances about activist emotions, and fostering wellbeing and sustained engagement.
