Abstract

Previous studies have revealed a positive relationship between self-esteem and prosocial behavior. Based on social mentality theory, the authors propose that self-compassion as a self-soothing system moderates the relationship in adolescents girls and not in adolescent boys. A total of 540 adolescents from 12 to 14 years old completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Self-Compassion Scale, and Prosocial Tendencies Measure. The results showed that both self-esteem and self-compassion were positively correlated with prosocial behavior, self-compassion moderated the relationship between self-esteem and altruistic or anonymous prosocial behavior, and self-compassion moderated the relationship between self-esteem and dire prosocial behavior and the moderating effect was moderated by gender. In conclusion, the present study indicates that self-esteem and self-compassion, as two important aspects of the self, are beneficial to prosocial behavior in adolescence. Self-compassion strengthens the relationship between self-esteem and specific prosocial behavior, especially for adolescent girls.

自尊越高的青少年越亲社会吗?不同性别自我同情的调节效应探讨。

先前的研究已经揭示了自尊和亲社会行为之间的正相关关系。基于社会心理理论，作者提出自我同情作为一种自我抚慰系统调节青春期女孩的关系，而不是青春期男孩的关系。对540名12 ~ 14岁的青少年进行了Rosenberg自尊量表、自我同情量表和亲社会倾向量表的测试。结果表明:自尊、自我同情与亲社会行为均呈显著正相关，自我同情对自尊与利他性、匿名性亲社会行为的关系有调节作用，自我同情对自尊与可怕的亲社会行为的关系有调节作用，且调节作用受性别的调节作用。综上所述，本研究表明自尊和自我同情作为自我的两个重要方面，对青少年的亲社会行为有促进作用。自我同情加强了自尊和特定亲社会行为之间的关系，尤其是对青春期女孩而言。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
