这项研究探讨了自我同情和自尊，因为它们与心理功能的各个方面有关。自我同情需要善待自己，认识到一个人的共同人性，并在考虑自己的消极方面时保持警惕。研究1（N= 2，187）比较了自我同情和整体自尊，因为它们与以自我为中心的反应有关。研究发现，自我同情比自尊更能预测稳定的自我价值感，而且对特定结果的依赖性更小。自我同情也与社会比较、公众自我意识、自我沉思、愤怒和认知封闭的需要有更强的负相关。自尊（而不是自我同情）与自恋呈正相关。研究2（N=165）比较了全球自尊和自我同情的积极情绪状态。结果发现，这两个结构在统计学上是等同的幸福，乐观和积极的影响预测。这两项研究的结果表明，在考虑什么构成健康的自我立场时，自我同情可能是全球自尊的一个有用的替代方案。
This research examined self-compassion and self-esteem as they relate to various aspects of psychological functioning. Self-compassion entails treating oneself with kindness, recognizing one's shared humanity, and being mindful when considering negative aspects of oneself. Study 1 (N=2,187) compared self-compassion and global self-esteem as they relate to ego-focused reactivity. It was found that self-compassion predicted more stable feelings of self-worth than self-esteem and was less contingent on particular outcomes. Self-compassion also had a stronger negative association with social comparison, public self-consciousness, self-rumination, anger, and need for cognitive closure. Self-esteem (but not self-compassion) was positively associated with narcissism. Study 2 (N=165) compared global self-esteem and self-compassion with regard to positive mood states. It was found that the two constructs were statistically equivalent predictors of happiness, optimism, and positive affect. Results from these two studies suggest that self-compassion may be a useful alternative to global self-esteem when considering what constitutes a healthy self-stance.
