How Does Embracing Self-Compassion in Stressful Moments Influence Our Coping Abilities in the Face of Neuroticism?

Self-compassion has already been well studied for mental health and well-being on an inter-individual level. On the intra-individual level, however, little research has been done on self-compassion and its possible correlations with other variables. This study aimed to examine the moderating effect of neuroticism on the relation between momentary self-compassion and momentary coping and examines this interaction more specifically by dividing self-compassion in its two subscales compassionate and uncompassionate self-responding. A total of 210 participants completed measures of momentary self-compassion, momentary coping, and trait neuroticism among other measures via their smartphones. The ambulatory assessment design consisted of three measurements per day (morning, afternoon, evening) for 7 days. The association between more momentary self-compassion and momentary emotional approach coping was strengthened by lower levels of neuroticism, whereas no moderation effect could be found for the other two subscales (problem-focused and emotional avoidance coping). Considering the self-compassion subscales, the association between compassionate self-responding and more emotional approach coping is strengthened by lower levels of neuroticism as well as the association between compassionate self-responding and more emotional avoidance coping is strengthened by higher levels of neuroticism. The results provide insights into the moderating effect the personality trait neuroticism has on the relation of self-compassion and coping on state level, which has implications for future research. This study is preregistered (10.17605/OSF.IO/SBNJ7).

Supporting the transition to higher education: examination of state- and trait-level effects of a multicomponent positive psychological intervention for university students

Introduction Positive psychological interventions (PPIs) can help mitigate psychological challenges and facilitate the transition to higher education. Methods This study presents the results of a quasi-experimental trial of a 6-week universal, multicomponent PPI designed specifically for university students. It compares survey responses of intervention group participants with those of passive control group participants before, immediately after, and 6 months after the intervention. Results The results show that the PPI led to significant improvements in mindfulness, positive reframing, and self-compassion at the trait level, and in self-compassion, positive affect, relaxation, subjective physical health, and subjective sleep quality at the state level. Discussion The study demonstrates that PPIs can effectively build psychological resources during educational transitions, particularly those related to emotion regulation. However, other resources and outcomes (e.g., character strengths) were less affected. Thus, more tailored approaches and selective interventions are recommended to address these areas comprehensively and ensure a more holistic improvement in student wellbeing.
