Self-compassion and Psychological Distress in Adolescents—a Meta-analysis
Overview
This meta-analysis synthesizes 19 studies involving over 7,000 adolescents to examine the relationship between self-compassion and psychological distress. The authors report a large inverse association between self-compassion and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. The resource suggests that low self-compassion may contribute to emotional difficulties in youth and could be a relevant target for mental health interventions.
