BACKGROUND: Self-compassion describes a positive and
caring attitude of a person toward her- or himself in the
face of failures and individual shortcomings. As a result
of this caring attitude, individuals high in
self-compassion are assumed to experience higher individual
well-being. The present meta-analysis examines the
relationship between self-compassion and different forms of
well-being. METHOD: The authors combined k = 79 samples,
with an overall sample size of N = 16,416, and analyzed the
central tendencies of effect sizes (Pearson correlation
coefficients) with a random-effect model. RESULTS: We
found an overall magnitude of the relationship between
self-compassion and well-being of r = .47. The relationship
was stronger for cognitive and psychological well-being
compared to affective well-being. Sample characteristics
and self-esteem were tested as potential moderators. In
addition, a subsample of studies indicated a causal effect
of self-compassion on well-being. CONCLUSIONS: The
results clearly highlight the importance of self-compassion
for individuals' well-being. Future research should further
investigate the relationship between self-compassion and
the different forms of well-being, and focus on the
examination of possible additional moderators.
