Abstract

En 中文
While previous studies have examined the independent effect of self-compassion or compassion for others on well-being, the present study examined how self-compassion may interact with compassion for others in predicting well-being. Two studies were conducted. In Study 1, 457 participants completed assessments at baseline and 229 participants were retained and completed the assessment at 4-month follow-up. Results showed that baseline self-compassion predicted higher levels of subsequent well-being when baseline compassion for others was moderate or high. Study 2 recruited 147 participants and they were assigned to either the self-compassion condition or the control condition. Results showed that participants who practiced self-compassion for 1 week in the self-compassion condition showed more reduction in negative affect than the control condition when baseline compassion for others was high. Findings showed that the effects of compassion for the self on one's well-being may be contingent on one's compassion for others.
