Abstract

ABSTRACT Although self-compassion is adaptive in coping with past mistakes, few studies have examined its relationship to future risks. In gambling, self-compassion toward possible losses could lead to greater or lesser risk-taking, and the direction of this relationship could depend on the presence of problem gambling. Across 3 laboratory studies, using multi-level modeling, this research tested how self-compassion relates to the progression of risk-taking in gambling games, and whether problem gambling severity moderates this relationship. Results showed that self-compassion has little relationship to gambling decisions by those with no signs of problem gambling already, and that higher self-compassion is associated with more risk-taking by those with any prior signs. The findings reveal a complex relationship of self-compassion to risk and well-being.

走向破产：大学生的自我同情、风险决策和问题赌博严重程度的差异

摘要尽管自我同情在应对过去的错误时具有适应性，但很少有研究考察其与未来风险的关系。在赌博中，对可能的损失的自我同情可能会导致更多或更少的冒险行为，而这种关系的走向可能取决于问题赌博的存在。通过3项实验室研究，使用多层次模型，本研究测试了自我同情与赌博游戏中冒险行为的进展之间的关系，以及问题赌博的严重程度是否会调节这种关系。结果表明，对于那些已经没有赌博问题迹象的人来说，自我同情与赌博决定几乎没有关系，而更高的自我同情与那些有任何先前迹象的人更多的冒险行为有关。研究结果揭示了自我同情与风险和幸福感之间的复杂关系。

期刊介绍： Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals" striving for well-being and for making sense of one"s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one"s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one"s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one"s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.
