Results show that self-compassion does not significantly predict athletes' positive emotions but does significantly predict better recovery from negative emotions after recalling failure events. Furthermore, vagal reactivity is a significant mediator between self-compassion and recovery from negative emotions.

Summary: This research explores the relationships between parental autonomy support, parental psychological control, and the autonomous regulation and dysregulation of Chinese university students in their studies and social media engagement. The findings indicate that when students' basic psychological needs are satisfied, they are more likely to experience autonomy-supportive parenting and exhibit autonomous learning behavior. Conversely, when their psychological needs are frustrated, there is a positive correlation with parental psychological control and dysregulation in social media engagement. Importantly, psychological need frustration acts as a mediator between parental psychological control and dysregulation in social media use.

Summary: This review examines the relationship between self-esteem and self-compassion, two self-related concepts that contribute to human resilience and well-being. A meta-analysis of 76 studies with 35,537 participants revealed a strong correlation between self-esteem and self-compassion, indicating considerable overlap between the two constructs. Both concepts showed similar associations with measures of well-being and psychological problems, and they accounted for unique variance in these measures. The findings suggest that self-esteem and self-compassion are complementary concepts with a protective role in promoting well-being and mental health.

Summary: Emerging research suggests that boys and girls have distinct gender-based self-compassion profiles, and they relate to compassionate and uncompassionate components of self-compassion differently. This study examined these profiles among Australian high school students and found that girls had four profiles ('Low Self-Relating', 'Moderate Self-Relating', 'Compassionate', 'Uncompassionate'), while boys had three profiles ('Low Self-Relating', 'Moderate Self-Relating', 'Compassionate'). The 'Compassionate' profiles were associated with the highest psychological well-being and nonattachment, while the 'Uncompassionate' profiles had the lowest. Nonattachment partially mediated the relationship between self-compassion profiles and well-being.
