Post-event processing refers to negative and repetitive thinking following anxiety provoking social situations. Those who engage in post-event processing may lack self-compassion in relation to social situations. As such, the primary aim of this research was to evaluate whether those high in self-compassion are less likely to engage in post-event processing and the specific self-compassion domains that may be most protective. In study 1 ( N = 156 undergraduate students) and study 2 ( N = 150 individuals seeking help for social anxiety and shyness), participants completed a battery of questionnaires, recalled a social situation, and then rated state post-event processing. Self-compassion negatively correlated with post-event processing, with some differences depending on situation type. Even after controlling for self-esteem, self-compassion remained significantly correlated with state post-event processing. Given these findings, self-compassion may serve as a buffer against post-event processing. Future studies should experimentally examine whether increasing self-compassion leads to reduced post-event processing.
事后处理是指在引发焦虑的社交情境之后出现的消极且重复的思维。那些进行事后处理的人在社交情境中可能缺乏自我同情。因此，本研究的主要目的是评估自我同情程度高的人是否不太可能进行事后处理，以及哪些特定的自我同情领域可能最具保护作用。在研究1（N = 156名本科生）和研究2（N = 150名寻求社交焦虑和害羞帮助的个体）中，参与者完成了一系列问卷，回忆了一个社交情境，然后对状态事后处理进行评分。自我同情与事后处理呈负相关，根据情境类型存在一些差异。即使在控制了自尊之后，自我同情与状态事后处理仍显著相关。鉴于这些发现，自我同情可能作为抵御事后处理的缓冲。未来的研究应该通过实验来检验增加自我同情是否会减少事后处理。
