The present review addressed the relationship between two self-related concepts that are assumed to play a role in human resilience and well-being: self-esteem and self-compassion. Besides a theoretical exploration of both concepts, a meta-analysis ( = 76, N = 35,537 participants) was conducted to examine the magnitude of the relation between self-esteem and self-compassion and their links to indices of well-being and psychological problems. The average correlation between self-esteem and self-compassion was strong ( = 0.65, effect size = 0.71), suggesting that - despite some distinct features - the overlap between both self-related constructs is considerable. Self-esteem and self-compassion displayed relations of a similar magnitude to measures of well-being and psychological problems, and both concepts accounted for unique variance in these measures once controlling for their shared variance. Self-esteem and self-compassion can best be seen as complementary concepts and we invite researchers to look more at their joint protective role within a context of well-being and mental health as well as to their additive value in the treatment of people with psychological problems.
本综述探讨了两个与自我相关的概念之间的关系，这两个概念被认为在人类的复原力和幸福感中发挥作用：自尊和自我同情。除了对这两个概念进行理论探索外，还进行了一项元分析（k = 76，N = 35537名参与者），以检验自尊与自我同情之间关系的强度，以及它们与幸福感指标和心理问题的联系。自尊与自我同情之间的平均相关性很强（r = 0.65，效应量 = 0.71），这表明尽管两者有一些不同的特征，但这两个与自我相关的构念之间的重叠相当大。自尊和自我同情与幸福感和心理问题测量指标的关系程度相似，并且一旦控制了它们的共同方差，这两个概念在这些测量指标中都解释了独特的方差。自尊和自我同情最好被视为互补概念，我们邀请研究人员更多地关注它们在幸福感和心理健康背景下的联合保护作用，以及它们在治疗有心理问题的人时的附加价值。
