“…Compassion from an evolutionary perspective promotes prosociality towards the in-group members (Amutio et al, 2018;Stellar et al, 2017). Likewise, it is also related to a decrease in unethical behaviors associated with moral disengagement (Yang et al, 2020). The results of this study confirm that compassion contributes to the appearance of prosocial behaviors towards victims during bullying situations.…”

Studies that distinguish the role of dispositional and situational moral emotions in bullying situations remain limited in the international literature. This work, therefore, aims to analyze the role of dispositional and situational moral emotions in bullying and prosocial behavior in adolescents. Two studies were conducted: a cross-sectional study including 644 adolescents aged 14–18 years (M = 15.6, DT = 1.4) and a repeated measures design including 235 adolescents aged 10–15 years (M = 12.5, DT = 0.9). The objectives of Study 1 were 1) to validate two scales for the situational moral emotions elicited in bullying situations (elevation and moral disgust) and 2) to examine the relationships between dispositional and situational moral emotions and prosocial behavior toward victims and bullying behavior. The results show adequate psychometric properties for both elevation and moral disgust scales. Furthermore, both situational moral emotions are negatively related to bullying behavior, whereas dispositional emotions such as compassion and gratitude have a positive effect on prosocial behavior. Study 2 assessed the prospective relationship between dispositional gratitude and prosocial behavior toward victims and bullying behavior. The results of this study indicate that dispositional gratitude has a positive prospective effect on prosocial behavior towards victims and a negative effect on bullying behavior. In conclusion, the relevance of moral emotions for the prevention of bullying behavior is highlighted and the role that self-transcendent dispositional emotions have on prosocial behavior from the perspective of developmental psychology.

“…Based on the internal-consistency approach (Little et al. , 2002), the three self-compassion components were parceled (see also Joeng and Turner, 2015; Vötter and Schnell, 2019; Yang et al. , 2020).…”

“…Based on the item-to-construct balance approach (Little 27,5 et al, 2002), we created three parcels for negative emotions and workplace incivility, respectively. Based on the internal-consistency approach (Little et al, 2002), the three selfcompassion components were parceled (see also Joeng and Turner, 2015;V€ otter and Schnell, 2019;Yang et al, 2020). As qualitative JI and rumination were both measured with four items, we used their item scores as indicators.…”

PurposeThis study examines why and when qualitative job insecurity (JI) leads to instigated workplace incivility.Design/methodology/approachThe authors collected data from 227 Chinese full-time employees from multiple organizations at two time points. Structural equation modeling was used to test hypotheses.FindingsResults show that qualitative JI is positively related to instigated workplace incivility through negative emotions; this indirect relationship is weaker among employees with higher self-compassion and stronger among employees with higher rumination.Originality/valueThe authors shift the predominant focus on the predictor of instigated workplace incivility from quantitative JI to qualitative JI. Based on the transactional model of stress and the stressor–emotion model of counterproductive work behavior (CWB), they provide new theoretical insights on why qualitative JI affects workplace incivility and identify new boundary conditions that affect employees' reactions to qualitative JI.

“…The detailed characteristics of each study sample are summarized in the Supplemental Table 4. In terms of the self-compassion measurement, 48 study samples used the standard 26-Item self-Compassion Scale (Neff, 2003a); 26 study samples used the 12-Item Self-Compassion Scale, Short Version (Raes et al, 2011); 2 study samples used the 17-item Self-Compassion Scale— Youth Version (Neff et al, 2021); 1 study samples used the 26-item preliminary version of self-compassionate reactions scale for children (Zhou et al, 2019); 1 study samples used a 16-Item Self-Compassion Scale (Tang, 2015).…”

Self-compassion is positively correlated with life satisfaction. However, no previous work examined the cross-cultural difference regarding the effect size of this correlation. Using 79 independent samples ( N = 23,976) from 26 countries/regions, this three-level meta-analysis synthesized the effect sizes of their correlation, partitioned the between-study heterogeneity into the within- and between-country levels, and examined the moderating role of national culture according to the revised Minkov-Hofstede model. Results indicated that self-compassion was positively correlated with life satisfaction, with a moderate-to-large effect size (.40 ≤ r ≤ .47); 33.66% and 35.73% of the effect size variance could be attributed to the within-country and between-country heterogeneities; this correlation was stronger in samples collected from more individualistic societies. This study highlights that self-compassion may fit differently into different cultural realities and the importance of raising cultural awareness in future self-compassion research.
