“…As the self-compassion research base in adolescent populations is nascent, there is even more limited literature that addresses self-compassion in varied cultural contexts (i.e., Akin & Akin, 2014; Cunha, Xavier, & Cashilho, 2016; Jativa & Cerezo, 2014; Zeller et al, 2015). Future studies should replicate these findings in different cultural contexts.…”

Adolescence is a challenging developmental period marked with declines in emotional well-being; however, self-compassion has been suggested as a protective factor. This cross-sectional survey study (N=765, grades 7th to 12th; 53% female; 4% Hispanic ethnicity; 64% White and 21% Black) examined whether adolescents’ self-compassion differed by age and gender, and secondly, whether its associations with emotional well-being (perceived stress, life satisfaction, distress intolerance, depressive symptoms, and anxiety) also differed by age and gender. The findings indicated that older females had the lowest self-compassion levels compared to younger females or all-age males. Self-compassion was associated with all emotional well-being measures, and gender and/or age moderated the associations with anxiety and depressive symptoms. Among older adolescents, self-compassion had a greater protective effect on anxiety for boys than for girls. Additionally, older adolescents with low and average self-compassion had greater levels of depressive symptoms than those with high self-compassion. These results may inform for whom and at what age self-compassion interventions may be implemented to protect adolescents from further declines in emotional well-being.

“…Previous studies have shown that children faced with victimisation and all forms of abuse have significant psychological maladjustment 12 33. In addition, researchers have noticed that children with chronic diseases such as bronchial asthma and repaired congenital heart diseases are psychologically maladjusted 13 34.…”

“…CES‐D, the depression measure, is dominantly represented by chronic and non‐affective symptoms, such as interpersonal relations or physical symptoms (Radloff, ), whereas COMOSWB, the measure of subjective well‐being, is mainly comprised of emotional aspects (Suh & Koo, ). Many preceding studies have identified that self‐compassion functions as an emotional buffer by regulating emotions (Allen & Leary, ; Brion et al., ; Jativa & Cerezo, ; Leary et al., ; Sbarra et al., ). Thus, it is possible that the interaction effect between self‐compassion and age is greater for affective aspects of mental health.…”

“…Self-compassion has a close relationship with emotional regulation toward adverse events. Self-compassion helps people to be emotionally resilient when faced with not only experimentally induced negative emotions but also with distress from real life situations (Brion, Leary, & Drabkin, 2014;Jativa & Cerezo, 2014;Leary, Tate, Adams, Allen, & Hancock, 2007;Sbarra, Smith, & Mehl, 2012). The ability to recover from emotional fluctuations provided by selfcompassion helps people to be more adaptive and mentally healthy (Terry & Leary, 2011;Yarnell & Neff, 2013).…”

This study investigated the interactive effects of self-compassion, selfesteem, and age on mental health. Numerous previous studies have found that self-compassion has a significant positive association with well-being but most of these studies were conducted with young adults represented by college students. This study extended the previous findings by comparing its distinctive functions in different age groups. A total of 1,813 adults whose age ranged from twenties to fifties (M = 39.28 years, SD = 11.27) completed a questionnaire measuring selfcompassion, self-esteem, subjective well-being, and depression. The results of hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the positive relationship between selfcompassion and subjective well-being was rendered stronger with older adults. In addition, self-compassion moderated the relationship between self-esteem and depression regardless of age. These results imply that self-compassion may be complimentary to self-esteem in improving mental health, especially for older adults.
