“…Intrinsic motivation and self-compassion were associated with each other in many other samples, but not in the Indonesian student sample. We suggest this may be due to collectivistic experience of self-compassion as opposed to individualistic experience of self-compassion, focusing on the self [ 66 ]. Future research is needed to understand which component of self-compassion is related the most to each type of motivation among Indonesian students.…”

Academic motivation is an important construct for university students, associated with student wellbeing and academic performance. Students who are motivated tend to feel and perform well. Self-compassion, that is kindness and understanding towards oneself in difficult times, and resilience, an ability to bounce back from difficulties, are also associated with student wellbeing and academic achievement. However, how these variables are related to each other has not been evaluated in Indonesian university students. Indonesian higher education has rapidly developed, focusing on student achievement while their wellbeing suffers. Understanding how academic motivation is linked with self-compassion and resilience can inform an effective way to augment their motivation. Accordingly, this cross-sectional study evaluated the relationship among these three variables. An opportunity sample of 156 students in Indonesia completed measures about those three constructs. Correlation, regression and moderation analyses were used. Intrinsic motivation was positively associated with extrinsic motivation and resilience. Amotivation was negatively associated with self-compassion and resilience. Self-compassion was positively associated with resilience. Both self-compassion and resilience predicted all three types of motivation apart from self-compassion for intrinsic motivation. Lastly, self-compassion nor resilience moderated the pathway from extrinsic motivation to intrinsic motivation. Resilience interventions are recommended for Indonesian students to maintain intrinsic motivation. Our findings will help educators and wellbeing staff to identify helpful ways to support healthful motivation in this student population that is undergoing drastic changes.

“…Following the prevalent practice in research examining cultural context, we used publicly available data on country level indicators of cultural tightness (for examples, see Luo et al, 2023;Shi et al, 2024; and collectivismindividualism (for examples, see Germani et al, 2021;Huppert et al, 2019;Lu et al, 2021;Wang & Lou, 2022). The tightness-looseness country-level scores were taken from taken from Eriksson et al, 2021, and the collectivism-individualism country-level scores were taken from .…”

We examined whether the impact of the pandemic on couple relationships varied across cultural contexts. Following from studies showing better outcomes (lower disease risk, greater well-being) within cultures higher in tightness (having strong norms promoting conformity) or collectivism (vs. individualism), we predicted that tighter and more collectivistic contexts would be associated with better relationship functioning. Preregistered analyses using existing data collected during the pandemic ( N = 2510; 12 countries), indicated, counter to predictions, that individuals from countries higher in tightness or collectivism evidenced greater relationship conflict. Cultural context was unrelated to relationship quality. Stress, attachment insecurity, and perceived partner responsiveness predicted relationship quality during the pandemic, but cultural context generally did not moderate these links. Perceived partner responsiveness, however, predicted relationship quality more strongly within more collectivistic (vs. more individualistic) countries. We discuss possible explanations for these findings, limitations of the data, and the need for larger studies including a broader range of countries, individuals, and cultural contexts.

“…Being sympathetic toward others does not automatically translate into being compassionate about oneself. Wang and Lou (2022) revealed that selfcompassion and life happiness were positively correlated in various cultural civilizations after conducting a cross-cultural study with 23,976 people from 26 countries.…”

Every personality existing on this planet requires kindness, love & affection from one another & when a person gives to themselves, they are called selfcompassionate. The five personality traits are extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism & openness to experience& their level of life satisfaction and self-compassion will differ from one another, as every personality is different from one another. The study aims to examine the relationship between life satisfaction and self-compassion in different personality traits.The study was conducted on 60 early adulthood aged 20-30 years. Standardized scales were used in the research. The results found no significant relationship between Life satisfaction &self-compassion.
