OBJECTIVES
The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with a dramatic rise in symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dispositional mindfulness (DM) and self-compassion (SC) have consistently been associated with psychological disorder symptoms and appear to buffer the effects of stress on depression and anxiety.
METHODS
Across two studies ( = 888), we examined direct and indirect (moderation) relationships of DM, SC, COVID-19-related stress, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. We also examined the differential effects of several DM measures (FFMQ-15; FFMQ-39; MAAS) in the relationships of COVID-19 stress and psychological disorder symptoms. We recruited participants (Study 1 = 350; 42.2% cis women; Study 2 = 538; 44.3% cis women) online (MTurk) and examined associations of DM, SC, and COVID-19 stress, and emotional impact, and the moderating effect of DM and SC in the relationships of COVID-19-related fears, stress, emotional impacts, and psychological disorder symptoms.
RESULTS
DM and SC were moderately and negatively correlated with COVID-19 fears and stress (correlations ranging = - .14 to = - .42) across studies. Study 1 moderation analyses demonstrated SC, but not DM (FFMQ-15), significantly moderated relationships of COVID-19 fears and emotional impacts with symptoms. Study 2 analyses demonstrated the FFMQ-39, but not the MAAS, significantly moderated relationships of COVID-19 stress and psychological disorder symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS
These results support the potential protective roles of DM and SC in disrupting pathological trajectories related to naturally elevated pandemic stress. Results also demonstrate the differential associations of several DM measures with COVID-19 stress. Future research should replicate such findings with more diverse samples and using various measures of self-compassion and risk metrics.

目的
新冠疫情与抑郁和焦虑症状的急剧增加有关。特质正念（DM）和自我同情（SC）一直与心理障碍症状相关，并且似乎可以缓冲压力对抑郁和焦虑的影响。
方法
在两项研究（N = 888）中，我们考察了DM、SC、新冠相关压力与抑郁和焦虑症状之间的直接和间接（调节）关系。我们还考察了几种DM测量方法（FFMQ - 15；FFMQ - 39；MAAS）在新冠压力与心理障碍症状关系中的差异效应。我们通过在线方式（MTurk）招募参与者（研究1 = 350；42.2% 顺性别女性；研究2 = 538；44.3% 顺性别女性），并考察DM、SC和新冠压力、情绪影响之间的关联，以及DM和SC在新冠相关恐惧、压力、情绪影响与心理障碍症状关系中的调节作用。
结果
在各项研究中，DM和SC与新冠恐惧和压力呈中度负相关（相关系数范围为 - 0.14至 - 0.42）。研究1的调节分析表明，SC而非DM（FFMQ - 15）显著调节了新冠恐惧和情绪影响与症状之间的关系。研究2的分析表明，FFMQ - 39而非MAAS显著调节了新冠压力与心理障碍症状之间的关系。
结论
这些结果支持了DM和SC在破坏与自然升高的疫情压力相关的病理轨迹方面的潜在保护作用。结果还表明了几种DM测量方法与新冠压力之间的差异关联。未来的研究应该用更多样化样本并使用各种自我同情测量方法和风险指标来重复这些发现。
