As adolescence can be a stressful developmental stage, the purpose of this study was to determine if a novel mindful self-compassion program would decrease stress, depressive symptoms, and anxiety and increase resilience, gratitude, and curiosity/exploration (positive risk-taking), and to ascertain if mindfulness and self-compassion co-varied with these outcomes over time. Forty-seven adolescents in the southeast U.S. enrolled in an 8-week mindful self-compassion course in five cohorts. Measures were assessed at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 6-week follow-up. Multilevel growth analyses revealed main effects of time on perceived stress, resilience, curiosity/exploration and gratitude. Additionally, both mindfulness and self-compassion co-varied with perceived stress and depressive symptoms; mindfulness also co-varied with anxiety and self-compassion co-varied with resilience and curiosity/exploration. Implications of these findings are that this program has potential in decreasing stress and increasing resilience and positive risk-taking. Future studies with a control group need to be conducted to confirm these findings.
由于青春期可能是一个压力较大的发育阶段，本研究的目的是确定一个新颖的正念自我同情项目是否会减轻压力、抑郁症状和焦虑，并提高恢复力、感恩之心以及好奇心/探索精神（积极冒险），并确定正念和自我同情是否会随着时间的推移与这些结果共同变化。美国东南部的47名青少年分五个队列参加了一个为期8周的正念自我同情课程。在干预前、干预后和6周随访时进行测量。多层次增长分析揭示了时间对感知压力、恢复力、好奇心/探索精神和感恩之心的主要影响。此外，正念和自我同情都与感知压力和抑郁症状共同变化；正念还与焦虑共同变化，自我同情与恢复力和好奇心/探索精神共同变化。这些发现的意义在于，该项目在减轻压力、提高恢复力和积极冒险方面具有潜力。需要进行有对照组的未来研究来证实这些发现。
