Abstract

Self-compassion means being supportive and kind to oneself when experiencing failure or inadequacies. It is associated with adaptive intrapersonal and relational outcomes for individuals. This evidence was extended by using an Actor-Partner Interdependence framework. Other-sex couples (N = 209) completed measures of self-compassion, relationship-specific self-compassion, and relationship satisfaction. Both self-compassion measures were related to global relationship satisfaction and facets thereof (e.g., sexuality, engagement, trust) for actors. Relationship-specific self-compassion was also positively related to the partner's relationship satisfaction (particularly for men). It is suggested that researchers (a) consider the interdependence of the partners when analyzing self-compassion in relationships and test for partner effects and (b) use fine-grained and domain-specific measures to develop a more complete understanding of self-compassion's associations with criterion variables.

关爱自己与幸福关系的运作有关吗？探索演员和伴侣的自我同情与恋爱关系满意度之间的关系

自我同情是指在经历失败或不足时，对自己给予支持和善待。它与个人的适应性内部结果和关系结果相关。通过使用演员-伴侣相互依存框架，这一证据得到了扩展。异性伴侣（N = 209）完成了自我同情、特定关系自我同情和关系满意度的测量。对于行为者来说，两种自我同情测量都与总体关系满意度及其各个方面（如性、参与、信任）相关。特定关系中的自我同情也与伴侣的关系满意度呈正相关（尤其是男性）。建议研究人员：（a）在分析伴侣关系中的自我同情时，考虑伴侣之间的相互依存关系，并测试伴侣效应；（b）使用细粒度和特定领域的测量方法，以更全面地了解自我同情与标准变量之间的关系。
