Review findings indicate that CR has been used to examine two key aspects of symptoms - symptom experiences and symptom interventions. The details of how CR was operationalized are presented.

Eighteen studies suggested that SBW was linked to several major health conditions (eg, hypertension, obesity, heart disease) and depressive and anxiety symptoms. SBW was positively correlated with undesirable coping behaviors (eg, self-silencing, maladaptive perfectionism) and negatively associated with self-compassion and help-seeking.
