Title: | Self-compassion moderates the predictive effects of implicit cognitions on subjective well-being | Contributor(s): | Phillips, Wendy J (author) ; Hine, Don W (author) ; Marks, Anthony (author) | Publication Date: | 2018 | DOI: | 10.1002/smi.2773 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/22678 | Abstract: | This study examined whether self-compassion may regulate the effects of implicit cognitions (automatic and preconscious responses) on the subjective well-being of Australian adults (N = 132). As hypothesized, self-compassion moderated the predictive effects of 2 implicit cognitions (positive attention bias and implicit self-esteem) on 2 indicators of subjective well-being (life satisfaction and depressive symptoms). Low implicit self-esteem and weak positive attention bias predicted more depressive symptoms and lower life satisfaction only for participants who were low in self-compassion. These results extend previous research knowledge by indicating that self-compassion may not only buffer the impact of explicit (deliberate and conscious) cognitive processes on well-being but may also regulate the effects of preconscious cognitive processes on mental health outcomes. Theoretical and treatment implications are discussed. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Stress and Health, 34(1), p. 143-151 | Publisher: | John Wiley & Sons Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1532-2998 1532-3005 |
