五项研究调查了自我同情的人处理不愉快生活事件的认知和情感过程。在各种研究中，参与者报告了他们日常生活中的负面事件，对假设场景做出反应，对人际反馈做出反应，对他们或他人在尴尬情况下的录像表现进行评级，并反思负面的个人经历。研究一的结果表明，自我同情可以预测人们对日常生活中负面事件的情绪和认知反应，研究二发现，自我同情可以缓冲人们在想象令人痛苦的社会事件时对负面自我感觉的影响。在研究3中，自我同情在接受矛盾反馈后调节了负面情绪，特别是对于自尊低的参与者。研究4发现，相对于观察者，低自我同情心的人低估了他们在录像中的表现。研究5实验性地诱导了一种自我同情的视角，发现自我同情会让人们承认自己在负面事件中的角色，而不会感到被负面情绪淹没。总的来说，这些研究表明，自我同情减弱了人们对负面事件的反应，其方式与自尊不同，在某些情况下，比自尊更有益。
Five studies investigated the cognitive and emotional processes by which self-compassionate people deal with unpleasant life events. In the various studies, participants reported on negative events in their daily lives, responded to hypothetical scenarios, reacted to interpersonal feedback, rated their or others' videotaped performances in an awkward situation, and reflected on negative personal experiences. Results from Study I showed that self-compassion predicted emotional and cognitive reactions to negative events in everyday life, and Study 2 found that self-compassion buffered people against negative self-feelings when imagining distressing social events. In Study 3, self-compassion moderated negative emotions after receiving ambivalent feedback, particularly for participants who were low in self-esteem. Study 4 found that low-self-compassionate people undervalued their videotaped performances relative to observers. Study 5 experimentally induced a self-compassionate perspective and found that self-compassion leads people to acknowledge their role in negative events without feeling overwhelmed with negative emotions. In general, these studies suggest that self-compassion attenuates people's reactions to negative events in ways that are distinct from and, in some cases, more beneficial than self-esteem.
