• Self-Compassion Interventions and Psychosocial Outcomes: a Meta-Analysis of RCTs (2019, background): “Interventions which only briefly mentioned self-compassion (Ritzert et al. 2016) or involved solely meditation practice were excluded (e.g., Albertson et al. 2015).”
• Self-Compassion: Theory, Method, Research, and Intervention. (2022, background): “…in a study that involved listening to the self-compassion meditations available on my website (https://selfcompassion.org/) for 3 weeks, and we found that it reduced the extent to which women based their self-esteem on appearance compared to a waitlist control group (Albertson et al. 2015).”
• Self-Compassion and Well-Being in Parents of Children with Autism (2014, background): “The positive association between selfcompassion and age replicates findings of previous studies (Albertson et al. 2014; Neff and Pommier 2013) and suggests that increased self-compassion is one benefit of greater maturity.”
• Protection as the Mirror Image of Psychopathology: Further Critical Notes on the Self-Compassion Scale (2016, background): “The negative components in the SCS are merely described as the opposites of the three positive components (e.g., Albertson et al. 2015; Neff 2016; Neff and Faso 2015).”
• Self-Compassion and Psychological Well-being (2017, background): “For instance, self-compassion interventions have been found to increase optimism, happiness, life satisfaction, self-efficacy and body appreciation, to decrease rumination, depression, anxiety, stress and body shame (Albertson et al., 2014; Neff & Germer, 2013; Shapira & Mongrain, 2010; Smeets et al”
• Self-Compassion and Psychological Well-Being in Older Adults (2016, background): “These studies and others (e.g., Albertson et al. 2014; Baker and McNulty 2011; Leary et al. 2007) support the idea that selfcompassion is malleable and that increasing self-compassion can produce better psychological functioning.”
• Does Self-Compassion Entail Reduced Self-Judgment, Isolation, and Over-Identification? A Response to Muris, Otgaar, and Petrocchi (2016) (2016, background): “Albertson et al. (2014) found listening to self-compassion meditations for 3 weeks reduced body dissatisfaction and shame.”
