The role of self-compassion in the relationship between resilience and negative affect
Overview
This study investigates how self-compassion relates to the connection between resilience and negative affect in a general adult population. Using cross-sectional data from 494 participants, the authors analyzed correlations among stress, anxiety, depression, resilience, and self-compassion. The results indicate that self-compassion partially mediates the relationship between resilience and emotional distress, suggesting its potential relevance for psychological well-being interventions.
