Abstract

The goal of this study was to test the mediating role of body responsiveness (body awareness and body disconnection) and negative mood states (depression, anxiety, and stress) in the relationship of self-compassion and trait mindfulness to life satisfaction. A total of 792 participants (669 females, 123 males) participated in the study. The results yielded that mindfulness and self-compassion have significantly negative relationships with negative mood states and perceived disconnection, while they have a significantly positive relationship with the importance of interoceptive awareness. Self-compassion and importance of interoceptive awareness were found to be significantly and positively related to life satisfaction, while negative mood states had a significantly negative relationship with life satisfaction. The re-arranged model accounted for a 26% variance in life satisfaction scores of participants. These findings imply that cultivation of mindfulness and self-compassion may enhance body responsiveness and diminish the negative mood states that in turn promote life satisfaction.

负性情绪状态和身体反应在正念、自我同情与生活满意度之间的中介作用

本研究的目的是检验身体反应(身体意识和身体脱节)和负性情绪状态(抑郁、焦虑和压力)在自我同情和特质正念对生活满意度的影响中的中介作用。共有792名参与者(669名女性，123名男性)参与了这项研究。结果表明，正念和自我同情与消极情绪状态和感知断连呈显著负相关，而与内感受意识的重要性呈显著正相关。自我同情和内感受意识的重要性与生活满意度呈显著正相关，而消极情绪状态与生活满意度呈显著负相关。重新排列的模型在参与者的生活满意度得分中占26%的差异。这些发现表明，培养正念和自我同情可以增强身体反应能力，减少消极情绪状态，从而提高生活满意度。
