自我同情被认为是调节羞耻感的一种特别有用的策略。然而，只有有限数量的研究调查了它对羞耻和羞耻倾向的影响。此外，目前还不清楚这种策略是否与其他用于调节基本情绪的成熟技术同样有效。本研究的目的是比较自我同情干预，认知重新评价干预，并在减少高社交焦虑的本科生样本的社交倾向和社交焦虑的候补名单条件的有效性。受试者（N=136;妇女占88.23%;平均年龄=21.85）完成了为期2周的自我同情或认知再评价在线培训，在培训中，他们被要求描述过去20天内发生在他们身上的负面事件，然后根据视频和书面形式的指示重新考虑情况。在训练前后进行了社交焦虑症状、焦虑倾向、特质自我同情和非理性信念的自我评定。我们还探讨了影响的培训水平的状态情绪后，实验室的情绪诱导程序。从训练前到训练后，自我同情和认知重新评价都显着降低了自我同情倾向和非理性信念，而社交焦虑症状在自我同情条件下显着降低。未观察到这些结局的显著组间差异。自我同情可能是一种替代策略的认知重新评价在管理的自我倾向和社交焦虑。
Self-compassion is conceptualized as a particularly useful strategy in regulating shame. However, only a limited number of studies have investigated its effect on shame and shame-proneness. Also, it is not clear if this strategy is equally effective as other well-established techniques used for regulating basic emotions. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of a self-compassion intervention, a cognitive reappraisal intervention, and a wait-list condition in reducing shame-proneness and social anxiety in a high socially anxious undergraduate sample. Participants (N=136; 88.23% women; mean age=21.85) completed a 2-week self-compassion or cognitive reappraisal online training in which they were asked to describe a negative event that had happened to them in the past 2days and then reconsider the situation based on instructions received both in video and written format. Self-ratings of social anxiety symptoms, shame-proneness, trait self-compassion, and irrational beliefs were conducted before and after the training. We also explored the impact of the training on the level of state emotions following a laboratory shame-induction procedure. Both self-compassion and cognitive reappraisal significantly reduced shame-proneness and irrational beliefs from pre- to post-training, while social anxiety symptoms significantly decreased in the self-compassion condition. No significant between-group differences for these outcomes were observed. Self-compassion might be an alternative strategy for cognitive reappraisal in the management of shame-proneness and social anxiety.
