Self-compassion predicts mothers' engagement in health behaviours yet some mothers fear self-compassion. We examined relationships between both self-compassion and fear of self-compassion with mothers' reactions to prioritizing health behaviours. Mothers rated their self-compassion, fear of self-compassion, read a scenario about prioritizing health behaviours and rated adjectives describing themselves if they behaved as described in the scenario. Self-compassion was positively related to positive reactions to engaging in health behaviours in the midst of motherhood. Fear of self-compassion led to negative reactions. This research provides insight into why some mothers feel better about incorporating health behaviours into their lives than others.
自我同情预测母亲参与健康行为，但有些母亲害怕自我同情。我们研究了自我同情和对自我同情的恐惧与母亲对优先考虑健康行为的反应之间的关系。母亲们评价了自己的自我同情、对自我同情的恐惧、阅读了一个关于优先考虑健康行为的情景，并评价了如果她们按照情景中描述的那样行事，描述自己的形容词。自我同情与母亲在育儿过程中积极参与健康行为的反应呈正相关。对自我同情的恐惧导致了负面反应。这项研究深入了解了为什么有些母亲觉得将健康行为融入生活比其他母亲更容易。
