BACKGROUND Although there is growing evidence of the relevance of self-compassion for understanding health outcomes, few studies have examined self-compassion in relation to self-reported physical health status, also known as self-rated health (SRH). This study addressed this gap by examining the associations between self-compassion and SRH across multiple samples and after accounting for the contributions of positive and negative affect. METHODS Data from 26 samples (total N = 6127), comprised of 6 university student, 16 community adult, and 4 chronic illness samples, were included in the current analyses. Participants in each sample completed a survey including measures of self-compassion and SRH. Thirteen samples also completed a measure of positive and negative affect. The associations between self-compassion and SRH were statistically meta-analysed. Moderator analyses were conducted to test whether the associations varied as a function of sample type, age or participant sex. Semipartial correlations were calculated controlling for positive and negative affect in 13 samples and meta-analysed. RESULTS Findings indicated that self-compassion was significantly associated with higher SRH across the 26 samples (ravg = .25; CI: .22, .28). The associations did not however vary significantly across sample types, or as a function of participant sex or age. The meta-analyses of the adjusted effects found that self-compassion remained significantly associated with higher SRH after accounting the contributions of positive (sravg = .11; CI: .07, .15) and negative (sravg = .25; CI: .06, .15) affect. CONCLUSIONS The current study demonstrated that self-compassion is robustly associated with higher SRH across 26 samples and that this association remained significant after adjusting for the influence of positive and negative affect in 13 samples. Further longitudinal and experimental research is needed to verify the causal direction between self-compassion and SRH suggested by theory and the current findings.

26个样本中自我同情与自我评价的健康之间的关联。

背景技术尽管越来越多的证据表明自我同情与了解健康状况相关，但很少有研究检查自我同情与自我报告的身体健康状况（也称为自我评价健康（SRH））有关。这项研究通过检查多个样本中的自我同情与SRH之间的关联并考虑了正面和负面影响的贡献，从而解决了这一差距。方法本研究纳入了来自6个大学生，16个社区成年人和4个慢性病样本的26个样本（总N = 6127）的数据。每个样本的参与者完成了一项调查，其中包括自我同情和SRH的测量。13个样本还完成了对正面和负面影响的评估。对自我同情心与SRH之间的关联进行了统计学荟萃分析。进行主持人分析以测试关联是否随样本类型，年龄或参与者性别而变化。计算半偏相关以控制13个样本中的正面和负面影响，并进行荟萃分析。结果研究结果表明，在26个样本中，自我同情与较高的SRH显着相关（ravg = .25; CI：.22，.28）。但是，这些关联在样本类型之间或作为参与者性别或年龄的函数上没有显着差异。对调整后的影响进行的荟萃分析发现，在计算出正面（sravg = .11; CI：.07，.15）和负面（sravg = .25; CI：。）的贡献后，自我同情仍然与较高的SRH显着相关。 06，.15）影响。结论当前的研究表明，在26个样本中，自我同情与较高的SRH密切相关，并且在调整了13个样本中的正面和负面影响后，这种同化关系仍然很明显。需要进一步的纵向和实验研究来验证理论和当前发现所建议的自我同情与性健康和生殖健康之间的因果关系。
