Self-compassion as a mediator of the longitudinal link between parent and adole...

The literature has consistently shown the link between parental depressive symptoms and adolescent depressive symptoms. Emotion regulation processes may explain this association, with self-compassion acting as a potential mediating mechanism. This study aimed to explore these developmental trajectories using a longitudinal design. The sample comprised dyads of parents and adolescents (N = 311), assessed across ...

Rumination in adolescence: The distinctive impact of brooding and reflection on...

Rumination has a crucial role in the onset, severity and maintenance of depression in adolescent and adult populations. The Ruminative Responses Scale (RRS) is the most widely self-report instrument used to assess individual differences in the tendency to engage in ruminative responses style. This paper aims to test the factor structure of the 10-item RRS and the gender-based measurement invariance, in a commun...

Longitudinal pathways for the maintenance of non-suicidal self-injury in adoles...

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a serious and alarming phenomenon during adolescence. There is a need for understanding the intrapersonal variables that might contribute to the maintenance of these self-injurious behaviors. This study aims to concurrently compare intrapersonal variables between adolescents with and without a lifetime history of NSSI, and to longitudinally test whether NSSI over lifetime hist...

The protective role of self-compassion on risk factors for non-suicidal self-in...

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescence is a serious public health problem. Although self-compassion is a protective factor of mental health difficulties in adult populations, its potential impact on adolescence remains scarcely explored. Therefore, we aimed to test whether self-compassion can mitigate the impact of daily peer hassles and depressive symptoms on NSSI. The participants were 643 adolescents...

Self-criticism and depressive symptoms mediate the relationship between emotion...

Although the relationship between negative childhood experiences, peer victimization, depressive symptoms, and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) is widely recognized, the mechanisms involved are not fully understood, especially among adolescents. This study aims to test the mediating role of both self-criticism and depressive symptoms in the relationship between memories of negative or positive experiences, curre...

Daily peer hassles and non-suicidal self-injury in adolescence: Gender differen...

This study aimed to examine the mediating role of rumination, experiential avoidance, dissociation and depressive symptoms in the association between daily peer hassles and non-suicidal self-injury among adolescents. Additionally, this study explored gender differences in these associations and tested whether the proposed model was invariant across genders. The sample consisted of 776 adolescents, of them 369 a...

The role of self-disgust in eating psychopathology in overweight and obesity: C...

This study explores the relationship between self-disgust and eating psychopathology and whether self-compassion plays a mediator role on this relationship. Participants were 203 adults, from both genders, with overweight and obesity (MBMI = 31.17, SD = 5.43). Women reported higher levels of self-disgust and eating psychopathology and lower levels of self-compassion than men. Path analysis’ results suggested th...
