Factors associated with low self-compassion in young adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Self-compassion comprises treating oneself non-judgementally with kindness and understanding during life challenges. Our aim was to identify, from among a diverse set of sociodemographic, lifestyle behavioural, psychological, family/peer social influence, and health indicators, factors associated with low self-compassion in a population-based sample of young adults.

Methods

Data on 37 factors potentially associated with low self-compassion were drawn from cycle 23 of the ongoing 24-year Nicotine Dependence in Teens (NDIT) study for 682 participants (M_age 30.5, SD = 1.0, 41% male). Self-compassion data were drawn from cycle 25 (M_age 35.2, SD = 0.6). Crude and adjusted multivariable logistic regression models were fit separately for each factor
