Examining the impact of mindfulness and self-compassion on the relationship between mental health and resiliency

Abstract

participants and procedure One questionnaire comprised four pre-developed questions, examining mental health (i.e., depression, anxiety and stress), resilience, mindfulness and self-compassion. Participants (N = 551) were recruited from the general public across the West and East Midlands of England. results The results showed that poor mental health was related negatively to resilience. Furthermore, the negative relationship of resiliency with mental health was mediated when controlling for mindfulness and self-compassion.
