Abstract

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.

动态二人组是不可分割的：自我同情和对他人的同情相互作用，预测幸福。

虽然之前的研究考察了自我同情或对他人的同情对幸福感的独立影响，但本研究考察了自我同情如何与对他人的同情相互作用，从而预测幸福感。进行了两项研究。在研究1中，457名参与者在基线时完成了评估，229名参与者在4个月的随访中完成了评估。结果表明，当对他人的基线同情适度或高度时，基线自我同情预示着更高水平的幸福感。研究2招募了147名参与者，他们被分配到自我同情组和对照组。结果表明，在自我同情条件下练习自我同情1周的参与者，在对他人的基线同情高时，消极情绪的减少比对照组更多。研究结果表明，对自己的同情对一个人的幸福的影响可能取决于一个人对他人的同情。
