In the present study, the mediating and moderating role of self-compassion in the relationship between mindfulness and happiness was examined through Structural Equation Modeling in student-athletes. Three hundred sixty-three individual and team-sport athletes (63.9% male; 35.8% female; 0.3% non-binary, M_age = 21.51 SD = 3.33) participating in the study were asked to fill out the Mindfulness Inventory for Sport, the Self-Compassion Scale, and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire. There were significant positive correlations between mindfulness, self-compassion, and happiness. Structural equation modeling revealed that self-compassion did not have a moderator role in the relationship between mindfulness and happiness. On the other hand, self-compassion played a fully mediating role in the relationship between mindfulness and happiness in student-athletes. While these are correlational data that do not permit causal inferences, these findings raise the possibility, in this population, that advances a better understanding of the impact mechanism of mindfulness on happiness.

在本研究中，通过结构方程模型在学生运动员中研究了自我同情在正念与幸福之间的中介作用和调节作用。363个个人和团体运动运动员（男性63.9％;女性35.8％;非二进制0.3％，M_年龄 = 21.51 SD = 3.33）被要求参加运动的正念量表，自我同情量表和牛津幸福问卷。正念，同情心和幸福之间存在显着的正相关。结构方程模型表明，自我同情在正念与幸福之间的关系中没有调节作用。另一方面，自我同情在学生运动员的正念与幸福之间的关系中起着完全中介的作用。尽管这些是不允许因果推断的相关数据，但这些发现增加了在这一人群中更好地了解正念对幸福的影响机制的可能性。
