Title: Self-Compassion Meditation and the Effects on Well-Being in Women
Abstract: The effects of brief self-compassion meditation training on stress, depression, mindfulness, overall well-being, self-compassion and anxiety was examined. Women ages 18-40-years old were recruited and randomly assigned to a meditation group (n = 37) or a waitlist control group (n = 38). Pre-intervention and post-intervention cognitive measures of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), State Anxiety Inventory (SAI), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-S), Five Fact Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS), and Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) were administered. Over the course of two weeks, the experimental group meditated at least three times a week with measures taken before this period and at the end of the two weeks. Results indicate self-compassion meditation was not an effective buffer against negative measures nor able to induce positive outcomes. Implications for future research are discussed.
