“…Akın and Akın (2014) investigated the relationship between the dimensions of self-compassion and subjective happiness and they found that self-kindness, common humanity and mindfulness are positively related to self-compassion, however, self-judgment, isolation and over-identification were negatively related to subjective happiness. Self-compassionate individuals accept negative life experiences as part of human life, and they get more life satisfaction with the feelings of optimism and gratitude (Neff, 2003a;Umphrey & Sherblom, 2014). In parallel with the present study, Neff and Germer (2013) have clarified that after participating in a self-compassionate program, individuals' not only subjective happiness but also life satisfaction increased.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-compassion and subjective happiness and the relationship between self-compassion and life satisfaction. Participants were composed of 252 undergraduate students in Bursa, Turkey. Self-compassion Scale, Subjective Happiness Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale were used as data collection instruments. Correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between self-compassion, subjective happiness and life satisfaction. The hypothesis model was tested through structural equation modeling. Results of correlation analysis showed that self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness were positively, self-judgment and isolation were negatively related to subjective happiness and life satisfaction. While over-identification was negatively associated with subjective happiness, there was no correlation between over-identification and life satisfaction. The model fitted well (χ2/df=1, GFI=.99, CFI=1, NFI=.99, AGFI=.98, SRMR=.00, RMSEA=.00). According to path analysis results, subjective happiness and life satisfaction were predicted positively by common humanity, and mindfulness. Moreover, subjective happiness and life satisfaction were predicted negatively by self-judgment, isolation, and over-identification.

“…Hope is related to the cognitive processes involved in risk for depression, namely the regulation of emotional, cognitive, and motivational states. Individuals who are able to develop alternatives to stressful situations and sustain motivation to engage with a variety of solutions experience greater well-being (Snyder, Feldman, Taylor, Schroeder, & Adams, 2000), and more positive self-views (Umphrey & Sherblom, 2014) compared to those with low hope.…”

Interpersonal strain is linked with depressive symptoms in middleaged adults. This study examined 1) the extent to which hope mediates the relation between family strain and depressive symptoms, and 2) whether these indirect effects are conditional on self-compassion. Methods: Self-reported family strain, self-compassion, hope, and depressive symptoms were assessed in a community sample of 762 middle-aged adults aged 40-65. Follow-up measures of depressive symptoms were assessed approximately 20 months later. Results: Hope mediated the relation between family strain and depressive symptoms. For individuals high versus low in self-compassion, strain-related declines in hope predicted smaller increases in depressive symptoms. Discussion: Taken together, the findings suggest that family strain may lead individuals to experience less hope and subsequent increases in depressive symptoms. However, a self-compassionate attitude may serve as a resilience resource, weakening the hope-depressive symptoms relation.

“…As such, we draw on the social skills deficit vulnerability model to investigate how young adult communication apprehension may predict psychological problems. Communication apprehension is negatively related to relational social skills and adaptability (Blume et al., 2013; Umphrey, & Sherblom, 2014). More specifically, because the model postulates that individuals with low social skills have difficulties coping with stress, it is logical to reason that communication apprehension should predict lower levels of resilience.…”

This study tested associations between mother–child communication apprehension, adult child communication apprehension, and adult child resilience, self-esteem, and depressive symptoms. Data were collected from 154 mother–child dyads ( N = 308) who completed measures of communication apprehension, depressive symptoms, resilience, and self-esteem. Results showed that mother communication apprehension positively predicted adult child communication apprehension. Moreover, adult child communication apprehension predicted lower levels of resilience and self-esteem, and higher levels of depressive symptoms. Mother communication apprehension indirectly predicted all three psychological outcomes for adult children through adult children’s communication apprehension. We discuss the potential implications for communication apprehension and social skill training that could help families improve psychological problems.
