This study explored the efficacy of reflective writing tasks for reducing state body dissatisfaction and improving self-improvement motivation. Participants (N = 153) were exposed to a threatening body image scenario, after which they reported their state body dissatisfaction. Following randomisation to one of three interventions (self-esteem, self-compassion, or positive distraction control), participants completed the state body dissatisfaction measures again along with a measure of self-improvement motivation. At post-intervention, state weight dissatisfaction and appearance dissatisfaction were significantly lower and self-improvement motivation was significantly higher in the self-compassion group than in both the self-esteem and control groups. Trait body dissatisfaction moderated the efficacy of the intervention whereby the benefit of the self-compassion intervention became evident at moderate levels of trait body dissatisfaction, and was most apparent at high levels of body dissatisfaction. Self-compassion was a robust and efficacious method through which to promote immediate improvements to bodily feelings and desire to self-improve.
本研究旨在探讨反思写作任务对减轻状态性身体不满和提高自我提升动机的效果。参与者（N=153）被暴露在一个威胁性的身体意象场景中，之后他们报告了自己的状态性身体不满。在随机分配到三种干预措施（自尊、自我同情或积极分心控制）之一后，参与者再次完成了状态性身体不满测量以及自我提升动机测量。在干预后，自我同情组的状态性体重不满和外貌不满显著低于自尊组和对照组，自我提升动机显著高于自尊组和对照组。特质性身体不满对干预效果起调节作用，即自我同情干预的益处仅在中等程度的特质性身体不满时显现，而在高度身体不满时最为明显。自我同情是一种强有力且有效的方法，可以立即改善身体感觉和自我提升的愿望。
