Self-compassion involves extending kindness and understanding to one's self. Research has demonstrated inverse relationships between self-compassion and maladaptive constructs associated with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), including emotion regulation (ER) difficulties. The current study sought to explore associations between self-compassion, ER difficulties, and OCD severity. Data were collected at the International Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder Foundation convention from 62 attendees who reported having a diagnosis of OCD (51% male, mean age 35.9 years). Findings demonstrated that self-compassion and ER difficulties were associated with overall OCD severity. Results also indicated that ER difficulties mediated relationships between self-compassion and overall OCD severity, as well as the severity of two OCD symptom dimensions, responsibility for harm and unacceptable thoughts. These findings suggest that self-compassion and ER difficulties may be involved in the maintenance and severity of OCD.

非参考样本中情绪调节困难在自我同情与强迫症严重程度之间的关系中起中介作用。

自我同情涉及到对自己的自我扩展友善和理解。研究表明，自我同情与与强迫症（OCD）相关的适应不良结构之间存在反比关系，包括情绪调节（ER）困难。当前的研究试图探索自我同情，内质网困难和强迫症严重程度之间的联系。在国际强迫症基金会大会上，从62位报告称患有强迫症的参与者（51％的男性，平均年龄35.9岁）中收集了数据。研究结果表明，自我同情和内质网困难与总体强迫症严重程度有关。结果还表明，ER困难介导了自我同情与总体OCD严重性以及两个OCD症状维度的严重性之间的关系，对伤害和不可接受的思想负责。这些发现表明自我同情和内质网困难可能与强迫症的维持和严重程度有关。
