“…Our results indicate a clear relationship between SC facets and negative psychological health. These correlation patterns are consistent with previous findings regarding IS and HS factors, which have been associated with high levels of depression, anxiety, stress, pessimism, isolation, shame, eating-related difficulties, body mass index, and facial-emotion recognition difficulties [ 44 , 48 , 72 – 75 ]. Along these lines, RS has been associated with high levels of self-compassion [ 76 ], dispositional optimism [ 44 ], weight-related positive affect, and overall mental well-being [ 77 ].…”

“…This result supports the previous findings of Sommers-Spijkerman et al [ 52 ] regarding the three-factor solution and rationale of the cognitive-evolutionary model [ 68 ]. In addition, the three-dimensional model provides a better fit than the unidimensional and bifactorial ones according to the results of the confirmatory factor analyses of the FSCRS in clinical and non-clinical samples [ 44 , 45 , 48 , 69 – 71 ]. This is in contrast with a large intercultural study which has shown that a two-factor model of RS and SC (combining IS and HS) had a superior fit, although the three-factor one was acceptable too [ 46 ].…”

“…In subsequent years, FSCRS has shown to be robust and reliable in both clinical and nonclinical populations in a range of different countries [44][45][46][47][48]. For instance, it has been used in the diagnosis of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) to examine the potential relationship between SC and recovery [49] and to evaluate the effects of a compassion-based intervention [33].…”

Assessing self-criticism and self-reassurance: Examining psychometric properties and clinical usefulness of the Short-Form of the Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking & Self-Reassuring Scale (FSCRS-SF) in Spanish sample

The Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale (FSCRS) was designed to measure self-criticism (SC) through Inadequate Self (IS) and Hated Self (HS) factors, as well as self-reassurance (RS). However, its long and short forms have yet to be validated in the Spanish Population. The present study examines the psychometric properties of the short form (FSCRS-SF) and its clinical usefulness in a sample of 576 adult individuals, 77 with psychiatric disorders and 499 without. Non-clinical participants were split according to their previous experience with meditation (active meditators, n = 133; non-active meditators, n = 41; and non-meditators, n = 325) and differences between these subgroups were explored. Additionally, a subsample of 20 non-clinical participants took part in a mindfulness- and compassion- based intervention (MCBI) to assess the usefulness of the scale as an outcome measure. Results confirmed the original three-factorial structure, good internal consistency, acceptable test-retest reliability, and a pattern of correlations consistent with previous literature. Regarding differences between groups, the clinical subsample showed significant higher SC and lower RS levels than non-clinical participants and active meditators had significant lower IS and higher RS levels than non-meditators. Participants who participated in the MCBI showed significant RS improvement and a decrease in IS and HS levels. Moreover, a hierarchical multiple regression showed that RS made a significant predictive contribution to distress at three months’ time. In conclusion, results show that the Spanish version of the FSCRS-SF is a reliable and valid measure of SC and RS in non-clinical populations and an adequate instrument to detect changes after MCBIs.

“…Higher scores indicate a greater capacity for self-compassionate responding to oneself in times of adversity. Moderate to strong associations have been observed between the FSCRS Reassured Self scale and other measures of self-compassion (Castilho et al, 2015;Hermanto & Zuroff, 2016;Leboeuf et al, 2020).…”

Although compassionate and reassuring self-responding has been consistently linked with wellbeing, the involvement of identity dysfunction in this association is unclear. This study examined the interaction of self-reassurance and identity dysfunction in relation to severity of psychological distress and social impairment among 243 clients attending mental health clinics. Participants completed measures of selfreassurance, identity dysfunction, psychological distress, and social functioning; correlation and regression analyses were used to examine associations and interaction effects. The interaction between self-reassurance and identity dysfunction was significant in relation to both distress and impairment, with the negative association between self-reassurance and distress and impairment stronger as identity dysfunction diminished from high to moderate and to low levels of severity. Thus, higher self-reassurance was most strongly associated with lower distress and impairment among clients with relatively stable identity, indicating the importance of considering identity dysfunction in counseling to enhance clients' compassionate and reassuring self-responses.

“…The Inadequate self (IS) and Hated self (HS) subscales of “The Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale” (FSCRS; Gilbert et al, 2004 ) were used to assess sexual minorities’ self-criticism in the past year. The IS subscale has 9 items (e.g., I remember and dwell on my failings ), focusing on self-criticism caused by caring about inadequacies; the HS subscale has 5 items (e.g., I do not like being me ), focusing on self-criticism caused by self-loathing (Leboeuf et al, 2020 ). Each item was rated on a 5-point scale, ranging from 1 ( not at all like me ) to 5 ( extremely like me ).…”

Sexual Minority Stigma and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Among Sexual Minorities: the Mediating Roles of Sexual Orientation Concealment, Self-Criticism, and Depression

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), a significant predictor of suicide, is more frequent in sexual minorities (e.g., lesbian, gay, and bisexual) than in heterosexuals. The Minority Stress Model proposed that sexual minority stigma (SMS) may lead to maladaptive behaviors, including NSSI. However, the potential mechanism underlying the relationship between SMS and NSSI remains unclear. Therefore, the current study will examine the relationship between SMS and NSSI, and explore the serial mediating roles of sexual orientation concealment (SOC), self-criticism, and depression. Methods A total of 666 individuals who self-identified as sexual minorities (64.0% male, M age = 24.49 years, SD = 6.50) completed questionnaires of SMS, SOC, self-criticism, depression, and NSSI, in 2020. Results The findings indicated that (1) SMS, SOC, self-criticism, depression, and NSSI were positively correlated; (2) SOC, self-criticism, and depression independently played partial mediating roles between SMS and NSSI; and (3) SOC, self-criticism, and depression played serial mediating roles between SMS and NSSI. Conclusions The current study supported the relation between SMS and NSSI among Chinese sexual minorities, and also implied a potential mechanism underlying the relation. Specifically, SMS was related to increased NSSI by higher SOC, self-criticism, and depression. SOC had dual-edged effects on NSSI. Policy Implications To reduce NSSI and other psychological problems among sexual minorities, policy makers should take more measures to eliminate SMS. Specifically, policy makers are encouraged to provide more support for changing sexual minorities’ living environment, such as repealing bills that could cause SMS and popularizing the knowledge about sexual orientation.
