“…One candidate, positive parenting, is inversely related to depressive symptoms in adolescence (Smokowski et al, 2015), and depression diagnoses in early adulthood (Costello & Maughan, 2015). Warm, sensitive and responsive parenting as an individual's early family or caregiver experiences is hypothesised to lead to higher levels of self-compassion (Neff & McGehee, 2010) which has been supported by previous studies (Pepping et al, 2015;Temel & Atalay, 2020).…”

Self-compassion, being kind to oneself in difficult times, is a way of relating to oneself that promotes better mental health, but little is known about how self-compassion affects interpersonal relationships. The current study examined the association between self-compassion and adolescent depressive symptoms from an interpersonal perspective in different cultural contexts. Adolescents (N = 422/570, Mean age = 14.44/13.41, UK/China) completed questionnaires about their perceptions of their parents' behaviour towards them, self-compassion, friendships and depressive symptoms. Structural equation modelling revealed that positive parenting was positively associated with higher self-compassion, positive friendship quality, and with fewer depressive symptoms in both samples. Additionally, we confirmed a negative association between self-compassion and depressive symptoms. The pathway from positive parenting to lower depressive symptoms via higher self-compassion was also corroborated in both cultures. Contrary to our hypothesis, positive quality of friendship was associated with higher depressive symptoms in both countries. Conflicts were associated with more depressive symptoms in the Chinese sample only. There was evidence of a negative association between self-compassion and conflicts in the Chinese sample only. Finally, the direct association between self-compassion and depressive symptoms was greater in the UK sample, whereas in the Chinese sample, interpersonal factors were more strongly associated with self-compassion and depressive symptoms. Our findings suggest that self-compassion may be a useful therapeutic target to improve social functioning and mental health among adolescents and that it may be necessary to account for cross-cultural differences in interpersonal factors when designing psychological interventions.

“…At the same time, based on the theoretical framework of parental burnout, positive parenting practices are helpful resources that negatively correlate to parental burnout syndrome (Mikolajczak & Roskam, 2018). Emotional warmth and supportive parenting protect parents from different risks and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety (Temel & Atalay, 2018). Support from parents enhances a child's positive emotions, thinking, and behavior toward their parents and helps reduce the generational distance (Wilk et al, 2018).…”

This study investigated the mediating role of parental psychological control (PPC) and support in the relationship between self‐compassion and parental burnout syndrome. The study participants included 1185 Vietnamese parents who completed questionnaires regarding demographic information, parental burnout, self‐compassion, parental support of the child, and PPC. We used data analyses, including structural equation modeling, to test the mediation roles of PPC and parental support of the child. Our main findings include: (1) self‐compassion had a significant negative effect on parental burnout; (2) the mediation roles of PPC and parental support of the child were also significant. These results suggest that parents with high self‐compassion tend to provide more support for children in daily parenting, which helps reduce parental burnout. In contrast, parents with low self‐compassion were more likely to use PPC, which exacerbated their burnout. The results from this study provide suggestions for creating effective interventions in the family context to reduce parental burnout and improve parenting effectiveness.

“…Self‐compassion is one of the basic concepts of Buddhist teaching, which seeks ways to live wisely and is based on love, compassion, and empathy (Wallace & Shapiro, 2006). Studies have shown that self‐compassion increases positive emotions and decreases negative emotions (Neff et al, 2007; Temel, 2015). Self‐compassion involves seeing one's pain and failures, approaching the self with compassion, experiencing negative emotions without judgment, being present in the moment, and keeping emotions and thoughts in balance (Brown & Ryan, 2003).…”

Following the positive youth development perspective that emphasizes the importance of focusing on the positive assets of youth to be developed, this study examined the variables related with mental toughness, a trainable skill that is associated with psychological and academic well‐being outcomes, in preadolescent youth. The effect of self‐compassion on the mental toughness of preadolescents and the serial mediating effect of positive/negative affect and psychological resilience was explored for the first time in the literature to the best of our knowledge, via the causal‐comparative model. The study group consisted of a total of 263 preadolescents (ages 10–13). The results show that self‐compassion increases positive affect and this increases the mental toughness of preadolescents. As negative affect is negatively associated with mental toughness, by decreasing negative affect, self‐compassion positively influences mental toughness. Alternately, self‐compassion increases resilience, which in turn increases mental toughness. The findings of this study indicate that positive/negative affect and resilience play a serial mediating role in the relationship between self‐compassion and mental toughness. These relationships highlight the components to be included in interventions directed toward adolescents to improve the trainable skill of mental toughness, which can then lead to positive well‐being outcomes concurrently and through adulthood.
