“…In this study, only “for the self” was used because individuals with a high level of SC are afraid of feeling compassion for themselves. The FC-Self, validated with Korean students ( Joeng et al, 2015 ), is composed of 15 items (e.g., “I feel that I do not deserve to be kind and forgiving to myself”). Participants respond on a five-point Likert scale (ranging from 1 = “do not agree at all” to 5 = “completely agree”).…”

Objectives Self-critical behavior is especially relevant for university students who face academic and non-academic stressors, leading to negative outcomes such as mental distress and psychopathologies. To address this behavior, mindfulness and compassion are important factors to decrease self-criticism and ensure positive outcomes. This study examined the psychological and physiological effects of an intervention, the Mindful Lovingkindness Compassion Program (MLCP), on highly self-critical university students in South Korea. Methods Thirty-eight university students with a high level of self-criticism were assigned to an MLCP group ( n = 18) or waitlist (WL) group ( n = 20). Self-report measures of self-criticism, self-reassurance, psychological distress, and other mental health variables were completed, and the physiological measure of heart rate variability (HRV) was conducted before and after the intervention with both groups. In addition, 1- and 3-month follow-up assessments were conducted using self-report measurements. Results Compared to the WL group, participants in the MLCP group experienced significantly greater reductions in self-criticism and psychological distress, and a greater increase in self-reassurance, mental health, and HRV. The improvements in the self-report measures were maintained when assessed 1 and 3 months later. Conclusions MLCP could be a promising intervention for alleviating self-criticism and increasing self-reassurance among self-critical individuals.
