Online Self Compassion Training and Impacts on Mental Health Outcomes
Summary:
Currently, three studies are examining the efficacy of cost effective, low-intensity self compassion trainings and their impacts on various mental health outcomes. Popularized by Dr. Kristen Neff, two decades of research concerning the concept of self-compassion has identified its various physiological and psychosocial benefits (Neff, Hsieh & Dejitterat, 2005). These studies aim to assess the use of online-based self-compassion trainings for improving the negative outcomes of perfectionism in college students, reducing burnout among humanitarian populations, and reducing depression and anxiety among college students in China.
