Self-compassion (SC) seems to play an important role in improving Emotion Regulation (ER). Nevertheless, the results of previous studies regarding the links between SC and ER are not consistent, especially facing diverse models of ER (strategy-based vs skill-based). The goal of this prospective study was to evaluate the links between these three concepts, by testing the predictive roles of SC and ER skills on both ER adaptive and maladaptive strategies, using standardised questionnaires and visual analogue scales. Results of regression analysis showed that self-compassion positively predicts cognitive reappraisal, acceptance, problem-solving, relaxation, self-support, tolerance and ER skills and negatively predicts behavioural avoidance, expressive suppression and ruminations. Results also showed that ER skills positively predict cognitive reappraisal, expression, acceptance, relaxation, self-support and tolerance and negatively predicts behavioural avoidance, expressive suppression and ruminations. Results from a mediation model are also promising regarding both the role of ER skills on the effect of SC on adaptive ER strategy use. Even if this study can be associated with common limits of self-report measures, it highlights the role of SC in a model of ER.
自我同情（SC）似乎在改善情绪调节（ER）方面发挥着重要作用。然而，先前关于SC与ER之间联系的研究结果并不一致，尤其是面对不同的ER模型（基于策略的与基于技能的）。这项前瞻性研究的目的是通过使用标准化问卷和视觉模拟量表，测试SC和ER技能对ER适应性和适应不良策略的预测作用，来评估这三个概念之间的联系。回归分析结果表明，自我同情对认知重评、接受、解决问题、放松、自我支持、容忍和ER技能具有正向预测作用，对行为回避、表达抑制和沉思具有负向预测作用。结果还表明，ER技能对认知重评、表达、接受、放松、自我支持和容忍具有正向预测作用，对行为回避、表达抑制和沉思具有负向预测作用。关于ER技能在SC对适应性ER策略使用的影响中所起的作用，中介模型的结果也很有前景。即使这项研究可能与自我报告测量的常见局限性相关，但它突出了SC在ER模型中的作用。
