Is Self‐Compassion Selfish? The Development of Self‐Compassion, Empathy, and Prosocial Behavior in Adolescence
Journal of Research on Adolescence, 2019Co-Authors: Sarah Marshall, Joseph Ciarrochi, Philip D. Parker, Baljinder K. SahdraAbstract:Both Self-Compassion and empathy have been theorized to promote prosociality in youth, but there is little longitudinal data examining this possibility. We assessed Self-Compassion, empathy, and peer-rated prosociality yearly, in a cohort of 2,078 youth across 17 schools (M age at T1 = 14.65 years; 49.2% female), as they progressed from Grade 9-12. We utilized multi-level modeling to predict prosocial behavior, nested within students, classes, and schools. We found that Self-Compassion and empathy uniquely predicted peer-rated prosocial behavior. However, only empathy predicted increases in prosocial behavior across time. While Self-Compassion is not selfish, it does not appear to facilitate the development of kindness toward adolescent peers. Self-Compassion may help to buffer against possible negative effects of empathic distress.

Is Self-Compassion Selfish? The Development of Self-Compassion, Empathy, and Prosocial Behavior in Adolescence.

Is Self-Compassion Associated with Sleep Quality? A Meta-analysis
Mindfulness, 2020Co-Authors: Lydia Brown, Emma E. Houston, Hermioni L. Amonoo, Christina BryantAbstract:Prior research has found that Self-Compassion is associated with a range of health and well-being outcomes, but the specific association between Self-Compassion and sleep quality remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to respond to this issue through conducting a meta-analysis to quantify the relationship between Self-Compassion and sleep quality. Systematic literature searches were conducted using the PsychInfo, Embase and Medline electronic databases to identify studies reporting on the relationship between Self-Compassion and sleep quality. Random effects meta-analysis was used to synthesise results. Seventeen independent studies from 15 publications met criteria for inclusion in this review. All studies included self-reported sleep quality measures. No study reported objective measurements of sleep quality. Meta-analysis revealed evidence of a significant association whereby those with higher Self-Compassion reported fewer sleep problems r = − 0.32, 95%CI [− .36, − .28]. In a subgroup (n = 6) of studies that delineated the positively and negatively worded items of the Self-Compassion scale (termed positive Self-Compassion and self-coldness, respectively), self-coldness was more strongly associated with poor sleep quality r = 0.36, 95%CI [.18, .52] than positive Self-Compassion r = − 0.15, 95%CI [− .24, − .05]. Our meta-analysis found that Self-Compassion is associated with self-reported sleep quality. Future research is needed to investigate directions of causality and to consider if Self-Compassion-based interventions might be effective in improving sleep quality.

Exploring the relationship between Self-Compassion and sleep
2019Co-Authors: Samantha Onchulenko, Shaelyn M. StrachanAbstract:Quality sleep can promote mental and physical health, and improve exercise quality. University students get insufficient quality and quantity of sleep. Self-Compassion has been associated with increased sleep quality among university students but little is known about the processes that underlie this relationship. Self-Compassion may lead to improved sleep through reducing maladaptive and promoting adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Self-Compassion may also promote sleep through its positive association with a proactive health focus. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to explore the relationship between Self-Compassion and sleep and to determine if this relationship is mediated by cognitive emotion regulation strategies and a proactive health focus. In this cross-sectional study, undergraduate students (N=193) completed measures of the following constructs through an online survey; Self-Compassion (independent variable); self-esteem (control variable); the two sleep outcomes (sleep quality; sleep hygiene); and two proposed mediators (cognitive emotion regulation; proactive health focus). Mediation analysis using Hayes PROCESS macro revealed that, after controlling for self-esteem, two cognitive emotion regulation strategies mediated the relationship between Self-Compassion and sleep outcomes: self-blame mediated the relationship between Self-Compassion and sleep quality (b = 0.55, BCa CI [0.075, 1.093]) and rumination mediated the relationship between Self-Compassion and sleep-hygiene (b = -0.07, BCa CI [ -0.137, -0.002]). Proactive health focus did not mediate the relationship between Self-Compassion and either sleep outcome. These findings contribute to the literature by highlighting that Self-Compassion may be associated with positive sleep outcomes through its negative association with maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

Compassion Mediates Poor Sleep Quality and Mental Health Outcomes
Mindfulness, 2021Co-Authors: Jeffrey J. Kim, Melissa Oldham, Antonio T. Fernando, James N. KirbyAbstract:Objectives Poor sleep quality has been associated with suboptimal physical and mental health outcomes. Self-Compassion has been shown to protect against the effects of poor sleep quality and promote positive mental health benefits. However, the attenuating role of fears of compassion on these relationships is less well known. Herein we examine the mediating role of Self-Compassion and fears of compassion on the relationship between poor sleep quality and mental health and wellbeing outcomes. Methods Two independent community and student samples within either a university setting or online research setting participated in the research. This was a 2-sample cross-sectional survey design ( N = 196, sample 1; N = 151, sample 2) which was conducted March–July 2019. In both samples, we examined Self-Compassion and fears of compassion as focal mediators of poor sleep quality and mental health outcomes. Results Mediation analyses with non-parametric bootstrapping identified that Self-Compassion partially mediated the relationship between poor sleep quality and mental health outcomes ( p

Positive and negative attitudes towards compassion predict compassionate outcomes
Current Psychology, 2019Co-Authors: James N. Kirby, Emma Seppälä, Matti Wilks, C. Daryl Cameron, Cassandra L. Tellegen, Dong T. H. Nguyen, Supriya Misra, Emiliana Simon-thomas, Matthew Feinberg, Daniel MartinAbstract:Compassion is multifaceted in both expression and motivation. It is influenced by a range of contextual and situational factors. This study aims to investigate how positive and negative attitudes towards compassion are associated with the presentation of compassionate outcomes. In particular, we examined how positive attitudes towards compassion (compassion satisfaction) and negative attitudes towards compassion (fears of compassion) can influence the presentation of compassion-related emotions, self-reported measures of empathy, compassion and compassionate behavior. Across two studies, positive attitudes toward compassion were robustly related to all three factors: emotions, self-reported expression, and compassionate behaviors. Similarly, negative attitudes toward compassion were related to emotions and self-reported expression, but not to compassionate behavior. The relationship was the strongest for fears of compassion for others. These results highlight the important role that attitudes play in facilitating or inhibiting compassionate outcomes. Implications and future directions are discussed.
