INTRODUCTION
Self-compassion, a trait that involves responding to one's difficulties with care and concern, may offer unique stress coping benefits during the challenges of adolescence.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study used survey data from a large adolescent sample within two U.S. school settings (=1,057; 65% female; 68% white; mean age 14.7 years) to examine whether self-compassion buffers the impact of perceived stress on internalizing symptoms, and secondarily, if these relationships differ by gender.
RESULTS
Regression analysis revealed self-compassion is inversely related to internalizing symptoms. Moreover, the relationship between stress and depression and anxiety symptoms differed by level of self-compassion. This moderation effect was similar between genders for depressive symptoms, but slightly greater in males compared to females for anxiety.
CONCLUSIONS
These results add to our understanding of self-compassion as an adaptive emotion regulation strategy with potential benefits for youth experiencing stress. Further research is needed to confirm if moderation effects for anxiety differ by gender.
引言
自我同情是一种以关心和关切回应自身困难的特质，在青少年面临挑战时可能会带来独特的压力应对益处。
方法
这项横断面研究使用了来自美国两所学校的大量青少年样本（n = 1057；65%为女性；68%为白人；平均年龄14.7岁）的调查数据，以检验自我同情是否能缓冲感知到的压力对内化症状的影响，其次，这些关系是否因性别而异。
结果
回归分析显示自我同情与内化症状呈负相关。此外，压力与抑郁和焦虑症状之间的关系因自我同情水平而异。这种调节效应在抑郁症状的性别间相似，但在焦虑症状方面，男性的调节效应略大于女性。
结论
这些结果加深了我们对自我同情作为一种适应性情绪调节策略的理解，它对经历压力的青少年可能有益。需要进一步研究以确认焦虑的调节效应是否因性别而异。
