Self-compassion and life satisfaction: The mediating role of hope ☆ (2016, result): “This finding is in line with considerable previous studies regarding the positive relationship between self-compassion and life satisfaction across diverse cultures (e.g. Neely et al., 2009, Neff, 2003b, Neff et al., 2008, Van Dam et al., 2011).”
Self-Compassion: Conceptualizations, Correlates, & Interventions (2011, background): “Self-compassion predicted variation in self-reported wellbeing over and above variation predicted by goal regulation, stress, and degree and availability of social support (factors whose relationship with well-being had previously been established), r .67, p .05, b .54, p .05 (Neely et al., 2009).”
The Relationship between Self-compassion and Other-focused Concern among College Undergraduates, Community Adults, and Practicing Meditators (2013, background): “Moreover, because self-compassion has been associated with better emotional coping skills (Neely et al., 2009; Neff et al., 2005), we expected that selfcompassionate individuals would be less likely to experience personal distress when confronting the suffering of others.”
Can Paranoid Thoughts be Reduced by Targeting Negative Emotions and Self-Esteem? An Experimental Investigation of a Brief Compassion-Focused Intervention (2013, background): “These types of thoughts and feelings have been shown to be linked to increased positive affect (Leary et al. 2007; Neely et al. 2009), and decreased negative affect (Gilbert et al. 2008) as well as to increased levels of opiates and oxytocine (Carter 1998; Kirsch et al. 2005).”
Self-compassion, self-regulation, and health (2011, result): “Evidence for a relationship between self-compassion and judicious goal disengagement is mixed, with one study showing a positive correlation and another showing no relationship (Neely, Schallert, Mohammed, Roberts, & Chen, 2009 ).”
Mindfulness, Self-compassion, Self-efficacy, and Gender as Predictors of Depression, Anxiety, Stress, and Well-being (2015, background): “Researchers have established associations between self-compassion and life satisfaction (Wei et al., 2011) and well-being (Neely et al., 2009), as well as inverse associations with depression (Raes, 2011) and anxiety (Neff et al., 2005), in college student samples.”
Self-Compassion: Theory, Method, Research, and Intervention. (2022, background): “Research indicates that selfcompassionate people have less fear of failure, and when they do fail, they are more likely to try again (Neely et al. 2009).”
Effects of a yoga-based intervention for young adults on quality of life and perceived stress: The potential mediating roles of mindfulness and self-compassion (2012, unknown): “Our finding that self-compassion predicts quality of life is aligned with previous studies that reported positive associations between self-compassion and well-being (Neely et al., 2009; Neff & McGehee, 2009).”
Self-Compassion and Body Dissatisfaction in Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Brief Meditation Intervention (2014, background): “…is associated with less rumination, perfectionism, and fear of failure (Neff 2003a; Neff et al. 2005), as well as greater capacity to effectively deal with stressors such as academic pressure (Neely et al. 2009), divorce (Sbarra et al. 2012), and chronic pain (Costa and Pinto-Gouveia 2011).”
The Role of Self-Compassion in Goal Pursuit and Well-Being Among University Freshmen (2014, result): “…much of the focus on self-compassion interventions has been on clinical utility of self-compassion interventions, the results of the present study, along with previous studies (e.g., Neff et al., 2005; Neely et al., 2009), suggest that fostering trait self-compassion may be useful for everyone.”
