Abstract

Objective: The present study examines self-compassion (SC) as a potential protective factor in the relationship between value-behavior discrepancy guilt (VBDG) and the mental health outcomes of anxiety and suicide risk in a sample of Mexican-descent college students.

Method: Participants consisted of 810 college students of Mexican descent. Students were recruited through a psychology participant pool and completed an online survey. Two regression analyses examined the direct effect of VBDG on anxiety symptoms and suicide risk with SC as a moderator.

Results: Results indicated that high levels of SC were protective in the relationship between VBDG and mental health outcomes. On the other hand, lower levels of SC put one at risk for increased anxiety symptoms and higher suicide risk when they experience VBDG.

Conclusion: The study shows the need to develop interventions that cultivate a high sense of SC in Mexican-descent college students.

研究墨西哥裔大学生价值观行为差异、内疚、焦虑和自杀风险之间的关系：通过自我同情的韧性。

目的：本研究以墨西哥裔大学生为样本，探讨自我同情（SC）作为价值行为差异内疚（VBDG）与焦虑和自杀风险心理健康结果之间关系的潜在保护因素。方法：参与者包括810名墨西哥裔大学生。学生们是通过心理学参与者库招募的，并完成了一项在线调查。两项回归分析检验了VBDG对焦虑症状和自杀风险的直接影响，SC是调节因素。结果：结果表明，高水平的SC在VBDG与心理健康结果之间具有保护作用。另一方面，当他们经历VBDG时，较低水平的SC会使他们面临焦虑症状增加和自杀风险增加的风险。结论：研究表明，有必要制定干预措施，培养墨西哥裔大学生的高度SC意识。
