A Comparison Between Self-compassion and Unconditional Self-acceptance: Interventions on Self-blame, Empathy, Shame-, Guilt-Proneness, and Performance

The effectiveness of a rational-emotive intervention on teachers’ unconditional self-acceptance, perfectionism, and pupil control ideology

“…Based on the research results, we concluded that the intervention designed to support and increase the teachers’ level of unconditional self-acceptance was efficient in helping teachers to internalize the philosophy of self-acceptance, accepting themselves as fallible and imperfect human beings, through a process of understanding how their beliefs and thoughts process influences their emotional and behavioral well-being. These findings are in line with other studies, which have shown that REBT interventions are efficient in increasing the level of unconditional self-acceptance in different contexts: educational ( Pasaribu and Zarfiel, 2019 ), sport ( Knapp et al, 2023 ), clinical ( Artiran and DiGiuseppe, 2022 ), and the general population ( Crișan et al, 2022 ). There are no studies analyzing the effectiveness of interventions to increase teachers’ unconditional self-acceptance.…”

“…Similar to the previous outcomes ( Samfira and Sava, 2021 ), admitting that there is a negative correlation between teachers’ unconditional self-acceptance and pupil control ideology (the custodial/authoritarian view), the intention to increase the level of unconditional self-acceptance does not imply automatically significant changes in teachers’ pupil control ideology (decreasing the authoritarian view). Both results align with other papers that applied REBT intervention to increase unconditional self-acceptance but without significantly affecting all variables included in their research ( Crișan et al, 2022 ).…”

“…It could be used as a prevention program as teachers often are confronted with environments where they could experience high levels of anxiety ( Liu et al, 2022 ). The third strength point is represented by the length of the intervention (6 weeks) compared with other interventions on unconditional self-acceptance, which took place for only 7 days ( Crișan et al, 2022 ). As DiGiuseppe et al (2007) sustain, achievement of unconditional self-acceptance requires time.…”

Realization of Empathy Capability for the Evolution of Artificial Intelligence Using an MXene(Ti3C2)-Based Memristor

“…Empathy is widely known as an intellectual reaction of one individual to the observed feelings and experiences of another. Of all the ways that we manage interpersonal communication, empathy is among the most humanized and resonant feeling that allows us to develop invaluable interpersonal relationships to the next level (i.e., adult sociability, child discipline, and moral judgments) [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Humanity dreams of producing computers with human-like capabilities of interpretation and generating empathic features.…”
