Self-compassion is considered to be a healthy and adaptive attitude towards oneself, occurring both as a feature, as well as a state. Self-compassionate attitude towards oneself is composed of: a) kindness and understanding given to oneself b) mindfulness of one’s own experiences and c) a sense of community of experiences with humanity. Compassion towards oneself is structurally and functionally distinct from the self-commiseration and self-pity that lead to worse adaptation. Research shows that self-compassion is associated with better regulation of negative emotions. Neff (2003 a) in her theoretical assumption states that due to more effective emotion regulation , people with a higher level of selfcompassion can generally cope better with reality. Therefore a question arises as to what the relationship is between a compassionate attitude towards oneself and social functioning of people. This article is a review of research that has been conducted so far regarding relations between self-compassion and the various dimensions of social functioning.

Body esteem, self-esteem, and sexual satisfaction influence people’s well-being so it is important to look for psychological factors that may contribute to their improvement. However, men and women differ in the factors that affect their body esteem, self-esteem, and sexual satisfaction. We analyzed links between men’s and women’s self-esteem, body esteem, sexual satisfaction, and self-compassion. The research involved 716 heterosexual participants (365 men and 351 women). All measured variables correlated positively; however, some correlations were stronger among women than among men. Mediation analyses revealed that sexual satisfaction directly affected women's body esteem but did not directly affect men's body esteem. Self-compassion and sexual satisfaction explained more variance in self-esteem and body esteem among women than among men. We explained observed differences in the contexts of the self-perception theory and the objectification theory.

Emergency following the COVID-19 pandemic has forced educational institutions in over 190 countries to close, and teachers worldwide worked hard to adapt their curriculum to an online format and face multiple related challenges. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on teachers’ performance and verify whether this change may have been justified by individual resilience, self-compassion and awe levels. The respondents perceived a significant drop in performance following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic across all investigated subscales. Preliminary data obtained in this study indicate that this drop may be explained by a link between performance and Awe, Resilience and Self-Compassion.

Research on compassion has received increasing attention over the past decades (Seppälä et al., 2017). However, empirical studies focusing on the role of compassion for teachers still remain sparse to date. This paper reports on a study designed to investigate the wellbeing of 21 language teachers across the globe during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. In particular, the study sought out to examine the ways in which compassion and self-compassion contributed to the wellbeing of language teachers during this time. Data were generated through in-depth, semi-structured individual online interviews and were analyzed from a Grounded Theory perspective (Charmaz, 2006). Findings revealed that acts of compassion in the workplace and in the private lives of the teachers played a crucial role in shaping our participants’ wellbeing during this time of crisis. Furthermore, self-compassion emerged as an important factor influencing the wellbeing of teachers during the pandemic crisis. Indeed, compassion and self-compassion served as core elements in their teaching and appeared to affect their relationships with their students, colleagues, and headteachers. In the absence of compassion, the stressful and challenging situation they were already experiencing was exacerbated. These findings imply the potential benefits of compassion and self-compassion training for teachers, administrators, and policymakers to support and promote wellbeing in the educational workplace.

Objectives. The Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program is an empirically-developed group intervention aimed to cultivate self-compassion. Sample and setting. A randomized control trial was conducted with pre-, post-measurements, and two-month follow-up. A total of 122 participants were recruited from a general community by convenience sampling. They were randomly allocated to the Compassionate intervention (CI) based on MSC and to a control condition with no treatment. Hypotheses. The authors hypothesised that participation in the CI based on the MSC would decrease self-criticism and increase self-reassurance and self-compassion. Statistical analysis. SPSS Statistics-20, program R, and the package nparLD for the statistical analysis. Non-parametric rank-based test for longitudinal data (pretest-postest design) was employed. Results. This version of the CI based on the MSC significantly increased levels of selfcompassion and self-reassurance as reported immediately post intervention and at two-month follow-up. The CI based on the MSC was also effective at reducing self-uncompassionate responding, which was only present immediately post intervention. Self-compassion is responsive to improvement following a short-term online intervention of CI based on the MSC which suggests that interventions designed to increase self-compassion can be provided online to broader populations without direct involvement of mental health professionals. Study limitation. Participants allocated to the CI were not exposed to the full experience of the MSC but only to a selected number of exercises from the MSC program.

Program Vnímavého sebasúcitu (The Mindful Self-Compassion program – MSC) je empiricky vytvorená skupinová intervencia zameraná na kultiváciu sebasúcitu. Randomizovaná kontrolná štúdia sa uskutočňovala s tromi meraniami pred a po intervencii a s dvojmesačným follow-up. Celkovo sa výskumu zúčastnilo 122 participantov. Boli náhodne rozdelení do súcitnej intervencie (CI) na základe MSC a do kontrolnej skupiny bez intervencie. Cieľom bolo preskúmať vplyv krátkodobej online verzie CI založenej na programe MSC na sebasúcit, sebakritickosť a sebapotvrdenie v neklinickej populácii. Autori predpokladali, že účasť v CI na základe MSC zníži sebakritickosť a zvýši sebapotvrdenie a sebasúcit. Na štatistickú analýzu bol použitý program SPSS Statistics-20, program R a knižnica nparLD. Data boli analyzované neparametrickým testom založeným na poradí pre longitudinálne dáta (pretest-posttest design). Táto verzia CI na základe MSC signifikantne zvýšila úroveň sebasúcitu a sebapotvrdenia okamžite po intervencii a aj po dvoch mesiacoch. Intervencia bola tiež účinná pri znižovaní nesebasúcitného reagovania okamžite po intervencii. Úroveň sebasúcitu sa dá zlepšiť krátkodobou online súcitnou intervenciou založenou na MSC, čo naznačuje, že intervencie zamerané na zvýšenie sebasúcitu sa môžu poskytovať širšiemu obyvateľstvu bez priameho zapojenia odborníkov v oblasti duševného zdravia. Hlavným limitom výskumu je, že participanti v intervenčnej skupine neabsolvovali celý program MSC ale iba jeho vybranú časť.

The purpose of the present study was to adapt the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS; Neff, 2003) into Polish, to examine its validity and reliability, and to determine population norms for this tool. The study involved 604 adults (aged 18–85 years, 278 women and 326 men), constituting a representative sample of the Polish population in terms of gender, age, and place of residence. The adaptation procedure was carried out according to the rules of translation, demonstrating the fidelity of the translation of the original version of the questionnaire. The reliability of the measurement was tested using Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency method and test–retest method. The validity was assessed by analyzing correlation coefficients between SCS scores and the intensity of mindfulness (understood as a trait), resilience, empathic sensitivity with its subscales of perspective taking, personal distress and emphatic concern, and the level of depression and anxiety. Measurement stability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients applied to two consecutive measurements. The factor structure was verified using confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that the SCS in the Polish version has good psychometric properties, and the emerged factor structure indicates that the best fit and specification had a model with two general factors of CS (compassionate self-responding) and RUS (reduced uncompassionate self-responding) and three specific factors: self-kindness, shared humanity, and mindfulness.

The aim of the study was to identify, during guided imageries, how high and low self-critical people imagine their inner self-critical, selfprotective, and self-compassionate parts. The authors explored changes in imagery content when comparing the pre-test and post-test state of Emotion Focused Training for Self-Compassion and Self-Protection (EFT-SCP). Consensual Qualitative Research was the method used for the data analysis and level of self-criticism was determined using the Forms of Self-Criticizing/ Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale. Two groups representing the extremes of the sample of 92 EFT-SCP adolescent participants (the highest 15% and the lowest 15% of the selfcritics) were analysed. The first of the two extreme groups consisted of 12 highly self-critical people (1 man and 11 women, AM = 21.7; SD = 1.16), and the second comprised 15 low selfcritics (1 man and 14 women; AM = 22.3; SD = 1.2). The results indicated that the training led to positive shifts away from maladaptive patterns (shame, fear, worthlessness, and incompetence) to more adaptive ones (safeness, love, empowerment, and the need to understand the situation). Although the maladaptive patterns declined and adaptive ones were adopted, the maladaptive patterns were not completely eliminated, which can be exploited in better use of treatments.

Objectives. The study verifies the psychometric properties of the Slovak version of the The Forms of Self-criticising/Attacking & Self-Reassuring Scale (FSCRS) through item response theory, IRT factor analysis, the validity of the scale and the development of norms. Sample and setting. The survey sample consisted of 1,181 participants (34 % men and 66 % women) with a mean age of 30.30 years (SD = 12.40). Data was gathered by convenience sampling, gradually over two years within a research grant focused on self-criticism and self-compassion. Hypotheses. It was assumed that the Slovak version of the FSCRS has a three-dimensional structure similarly to the original version. All the three subscales are scalable by Mokken analysis, so subscales’ raw score is invariant to items subscales’ scores. Statistical analysis. For data recording, the program SPSS Statistics-20 was used and for statistical processing, the program R version 3 1 3 was used, libraries mirt, TAM, lavaan, and mokken. Results. The Slovak translation of the FSCRS is a reliable and valid instrument to measure the level of self-criticism. Its three-dimensional structure was confirmed, and all the three subscales were scalable by Mokken analysis. However, the two-dimensional structure (in which the Inadequate self and the Hated self are merged) showed good fit with data as well. Study limitation. Despite its size, the sample is not representative of the Slovak population regarding age and education. Therefore, the developed norms do not express the population distribution of self-criticism and self-reassurance.

Ciele. Štúdia overuje psychometrické vlastnosti slovenskej verzie Škály foriem sebakritickosti a sebapotvrdenia prostredníctvom teórie odpovedí na položku, IRT faktorovej analýzy, validity škály a tvorby noriem. Vzorka a výber. Výskumná vzorka obsahovala 1 181 participantov (34 % mužov a 66 % žien) s priemerným vekom 30.30 rokov (SD = = 12.40). Dáta boli zbierané postupne dostupným výberom v priebehu dvoch rokoch v rámci riešenia čiastkových úloh výskumného grantu zameraného na výskum sebakritickosti a sebasúcitu. Hypotézy. Predpokladá sa, že slovenská verzia FSCRS má trojdimenzionálnu štruktúru rovnako ako originálna verzia. Všetky jej tri subškály sú škálovateľné podľa Mokkenovej analýzy, takže hrubé skóre subškál je invariantné voči skóre položiek. Štatistická analýza. Pre záznam dát autori použili program SPSS Statistics-20 a pre ich štatistické spracovanie program R verzia 3. 1. 3, knižnice mirt, TAM, lavaan a mokken. Výsledky. Škála FSCRS je v slovenskom preklade reliabilný a validný nástroj na meranie úrovne sebakritickosti. Potvrdila sa jej trojdimenzionálna štruktúra a tiež to, že všetky jej tri subškály sú škálovateľné podľa Mokkenovej analýzy. Avšak aj dvojdimenzionálny model, v ktorom sú Nenávidené a Neadekvátne self spojené do jednej subškály, ukázal dobrú zhodu s dátami. Limity štúdie. Napriek jej veľkosti vzorka nie je reprezentatívna pre slovenskú populáciu, najmä z hľadiska veku a vzdelania. Vytvorené normy tak nevyjadrujú distribúciu sebakritickosti a sebapotvrdenia v celej slovenskej populácii

Objectives. The purpose of this study was to validate the Czech version of the 15-item Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-15-CZ) and to examine its psychometric properties. Sample and setting. Two separate Czech samples were used. In Survey 1, the FFMQ was translated into Czech and then administered through an on-line survey. 2806 participants (sample 1) completed the FFMQ-CZ and the SWLS. In Survey 2, 279 participants (sample 2) completed the FFMQ-15-CZ, the SCS-CZ, the TOSCA-3, the GAD-7 and the PHQ-9. Statistical analysis. Using IBM SPSS Statistics- 23 and Amos-23, calculations of descriptive statistics, Cronbach’s alpha, Pearson correlation coefficients, test-retest analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. Results. The confirmatory factor analysis (sample 1 and 2) confirmed the five-factor structure of FFMQ-15-CZ. A single higher-order factor model was then also confirmed. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for total FFMQ-15-CZ and subscales in survey 1/2 were as follows: FFMQ-15-CZ (α = 0,77/0,78), nonreactivity to inner experience (α = 0,69/0,65), observing (α = 0,64/0,52), acting with awareness (α = 0,71/0,69), describing (α = 0,83/0,79), nonjudging of inner experience (α = 0,79/0,78). As expected, in Survey 1 and 2, the FFMQ-15-CZ exhibited a significant positive correlation to measures of life satisfaction and self-compassion and a significant negative correlation to measures of shame-proneness, difficulties in emotion regulation, symptoms of anxiety and symptoms of depression. Study limitation. The samples used in this study were not representative of the general Czech population. In the future, it would be useful to further examine the psychometric properties of the FFMQ-15-CZ in a representative sample of the Czech population, in a sample of experienced meditators as well as in various clinical samples.

Objectives. The aim of this study was to compare the levels of self-compassion, shameproneness and internalized shame in samples of patients with anxiety/depressive disorders and in healthy controls. Participants and setting. Patients with anxiety disorders (N1 = 58), depressive disorders (N2 = 57) and healthy controls (N0 = 180) were administered scales measuring self-compassion, shame-proneness, internalized shame, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Hypotheses. It was hypothesized that: 1) both clinical samples would demonstrate a lower level of self-compassion and a higher level of shame-proneness and internalized shame than the healthy controls; 2) there will be no significant differences between the anxiety and the depressed sample in study variables; 3) selfcompassion would be correlated with shameproneness and internalized shame in all samples; 4) self-compassion, shame-proneness and internalized shame would correlate with the severity of anxiety/depression among patients with anxiety/ depressive disorders. Statistical analysis. Data was analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics software, Version 23. Differences between samples were tested using Chi-square tests, one-way ANOVA and one-way MANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc tests. Associations between study variables were further determined by using correlation analysis and regression analyses. Results. Both anxiety/depressed patients were found to have significantly lower self-compassion and significantly higher shame-proneness and internalized shame than healthy controls. There were no significant differences between the anxiety and the depressed sample in study variables. All correlations were in the expected directions. Study limitations. The main limitations of this study are possible volunteer bias in healthy controls and conceptual overlap between measured constructs of self-compassion and shame.

Cíle. Cílem studie bylo porovnat úrovně soucitu se sebou, tendence k prožívání studu a internalizovaného studu u vzorků pacientů s úzkostnými/ depresivními poruchami a u vzorku zdravých kontrol. Soubor a procedura. Pacientům s úzkostnými poruchami (N1=58), depresivními poruchami (N2 = 57) a zdravým kontrolám (N3=180) byly administrovány škály měřící soucit se sebou, tendence k prožívání studu, internalizovaný stud, úzkost a depresivní symptomy. Hypotézy. Autoři předpokládali, že: 1) oba klinické vzorky budou vykazovat nižší míru soucitu se sebou a vyšší míru tendence k prožívání studu a internalizovaného studu než zdravé kontroly; 2) mezi vzorkem úzkostných a vzorkem depresivních nebude ve sledovaných proměnných významný rozdíl; 3) soucit se sebou bude u všech vzorků korelovat s tendencí k prožívání studu a s internalizovaným studem; 4) soucit se sebou, tendence k prožívání studu a internalizovaný stud budou u pacientů s úzkostnými/depresivními poruchami korelovat se závažností úzkosti/deprese. Statistická analýza. Data byla analyzována s využitím programu IBM SPSS Statistics, verze 23. Rozdíly mezi vzorky byly testovány pomocí testů chí kvadrát, jednocestná ANOVA a jednocestná MANOVA s Bonferroniho post-hoc testy. Vztahy mezi jednotlivými proměnnými studie byly dále prověřeny provedením korelačních a regresních analýz. Výsledky. U pacientů s úzkostnými i depresivními poruchami byla zjištěna signifikantně nižší míra soucitu se sebou a signifikantně vyšší míra tendence k prožívání studu a internalizovaného studu než u zdravých kontrol. Mezi vzorkem úzkostných a vzorkem depresivních nebyl ve sledovaných proměnných významný rozdíl. Všechny korelace byly v předpokládaném směru. Omezení studie. Hlavními omezeními studie jsou možné zkreslení způsobené účastí dobrovolníků u zdravých kontrol a pojmový překryv mezi měřenými konstrukty – soucitem se sebou a studem.

Cíle. Aplikace všímavosti na pracovišti zaznamenala zvýšenou poptávku v posledních letech. Tento rozvíjející se obor však zaznamenává nové výzvy, které souvisí především s potřebou respektovat dynamické podmínky současných organizací a vnést praxi všímavosti do mezilidských interakcí. Autoři proto vytvořili Relational Mindfulness Training (RMT), osmitýdenní intervenci založenou na všímavosti, aby podpořili výzkum v oblasti všímavosti ve vztazích. Metoda. Studie zkoumala efekty RMT na souboru 66 studentů. První měření (T1) proběhlo jeden týden před zahájením intervence, druhé měření (T2) proběhlo jeden týden po skončení intervence. Hypotézy. Autoři přepokládali, že účast v R MT bude mít pozitivní signifikantní vliv na úroveň všímavosti, sebe-laskavosti, autentického leadershipu a empatické přesnosti. Statistická analýza. Analýza rozptylu byla vyžita pro porovnání kontrolní a experimentální skupiny mezi časy T1 a T2. Párové t-testy byly využity pro analýzu efektů mezi T1 a T2 uvnitř obou skupin. Výsledky. Výsledky naznačují, že výcvik ve vztahové všímavosti může pomoci zlepšit osnovy manažerských oborů. Účast v R MT vykázala signifikantní pozitivní efekt na úroveň všímavosti, sebe-laskavosti a autentického leadershipu. Dle informací autorů je tato studie první, která ověřuje efekty intervence založené na vztahové všímavosti v manažerském vzdělávání a také první, která ověřuje efekty intervence založené na všímavosti v České republice. Limity. Většina proměnných v této studii byla měřena pomocí sebehodnotících dotazníkových metod, v rámci této studie však byly využity nejběžnější metody z oboru všímavosti. Studie také nebyla double-blinded a díky tomu mohlo v rámci studie dojít ke zkreslení vlivem placebo efektu či efektu experimentátora.

Cel: głównym celem badania jest ocena czy subiektywnie postrzegane autentyczne przywództwo pełni funkcję mediatora w zależności między poziomem inteligencji emocjonalnej pracowników a ich percepcją samowspółczucia. Metodologia: wszystkie dane wykorzystane w badaniu pochodzą od 175 pracowników z 12 różnych fabryk herbaty. W badaniu, którego podstawę stanowiła metoda opisowa i przekrojowa, analizę danych przeprowadzono z zastosowaniem prostej analizy mediacji Hayesa (2013) w ramach modelowania równań strukturalnych. Wyniki: wyniki analizy wskazują, że postrzegane przez pracowników autentyczne przywództwo wykazuje pozytywny związek z poziomem inteligencji emocjonalnej i percepcją samowspółczucia pracowników, a przywództwo to jest w tej zależności mediatorem. Ograniczenia/implikacje badawcze: badanie ma pewne ograniczenia. Po pierwsze, wyniki analiz nie są uogólnione na całą populację, ponieważ ich podstawą jest specyficzna próba. Należy wspomnieć, że bazują one na danych pozyskanych z różnych instytucji. Można stwierdzić, że podejście oparte na subiektywnie postrzeganym autentycznym przywództwie odgrywa pewną rolę w zależności między indywidualnymi pozytywnymi postawami, takimi jak inteligencja emocjonalna i samowspółczucie. Z tego względu przewiduje się, iż wyniki badania wniosą wkład w literaturę przedmiotu. Ponadto ograniczeniem jest koncentracja na aspekcie statystycznym badania wyłącznie przy zastosowaniu analizy mediacji. W przyszłych badaniach można przyjąć inne metody statystyczne. Oryginalność/wartość: w artykule zaprezentowano fragment wyników modelowania równań strukturalnych przeprowadzonego wśród pracowników branży herbaciarskiej w Turcji w zakresie autentycznego przywództwa.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether perceived authentic leadership has a mediating role in the relationship between employees’ emotional intelligence levels and their self-compassion perceptions. Design/methodology/approach: All data in the research were obtained from 175 employees in 12 different tea factories. In the study, in which the descriptive and cross-sectional method was followed, the analysis of the data was made with Hayes’ (2013) simple mediation analysis approach within the scope of structural equation modeling. Findings: The results of the analysis show that authentic leadership perceptions of employees are positively related to their emotional intelligence levels and self-compassion perceptions, and that perceived authentic leadership plays a mediating role in this relationship. Research limitations/implications: The research has some limitations. First, the findings obtained in the course of the analyses are not generalized to the whole population, as they are collected from a specific sample. It should be mentioned that the results were obtained from different institutions. It can be said that the perceived authentic leadership approach plays a role in the relationship between individual-oriented positive attitudes such as emotional intelligence and self-compassion. Therefore, it is anticipated that the results obtained from the study contribute to the literature. In addition, handling the statistical aspect of the research only with the mediation analysis approach constitutes a separate limitation. Different statistical approaches can be adopted for future studies. Originality/value: This study presents a fragment of the results of structural equation modeling conducted for tea industry employees in Turkey on the topic of authentic leadership.
