Abstract

Abstract Self-compassion involves treating oneself kindly, acknowledging that all humans experience suffering, and maintaining a balanced awareness of negative thoughts and feelings. Three studies (N = 614) examined the potential role of self-compassion in response to interpersonal rejection. Study 1 recruited a large, diverse internet sample and explored relationships between general perceived acceptance and several outcome variables (affect, depression, self-esteem), testing whether self-compassion moderates these relationships. Similarly, Study 2 tested whether self-compassion moderates the relationships between daily acceptance/rejection and outcome variables. Finally, Study 3 tested whether a self-compassion manipulation effectively promotes coping with rejection. Taken together, results reveal that self-compassion both predicts (Studies 1 and 2) and promotes (Study 3) relatively adaptive responses to rejection. These results suggest that a self-compassionate mindset may lessen the sting of rejection.

记住“每个人都会受伤”:自我同情在拒绝反应中的作用

摘要自我同情包括善待自己，承认所有人都经历过痛苦，并保持对负面想法和感受的平衡意识。三项研究（N = 614）研究了自我同情在应对人际排斥中的潜在作用。研究1招募了一个庞大的、多样化的互联网样本，探讨了一般感知接受度与几个结果变量（情感、抑郁、自尊）之间的关系，测试了自我同情是否会调节这些关系。同样，研究2测试了自我同情是否会调节日常接受/拒绝与结果变量之间的关系。最后，研究3测试了自我同情操作是否能有效地促进应对拒绝。总之，研究结果表明，自我同情既预测（研究1和2）又促进（研究3）对排斥反应的相对适应性。这些结果表明，自我同情的心态可以减轻被拒绝的痛苦。
