Abstract

Empathy is a critical element of subjective well-being and an important personality trait among undergraduate students. To improve empathy among undergraduate students, the current study examined the relationship between self-compassion and empathy and the mediating role of self-esteem in this relationship. Participants were six hundred and twenty-two (320 males and 302 females) students from five Vietnamese universities, aged 18-21 years (M _age = 19.5; SD _age = 0.95 years), who completed the self-compassion scale (SCS), empathy scale in adults (BES-A), and self-esteem scale of Toulouse (ETES). The results indicated that (1) self-compassion was positively associated with empathy; (2) self-esteem mediated the relationship between the two variables. Therefore, enhancing undergraduate students' self-compassion may be an effective way to improve their empathy. However, additional studies are required to elucidate the role of self-compassion in the educational context.

自尊对越南大学生自我同情与移情关系的中介效应。

同理心是大学生主观幸福感的一个关键因素，也是他们的一个重要人格特质。为了提高大学生的移情能力，本研究探讨了自我同情与移情之间的关系，以及自尊在这一关系中的中介作用。研究对象是来自越南五所大学的六百二十二名学生（男三百二十人，女三百零二人），年龄在十八至二十一岁之间（平均年龄为 19.5 岁，平均年龄为 0.95 岁），他们填写了自我同情量表（SCS）、成人移情量表（BES-A）和图卢兹自尊量表（ETES）。结果表明：(1) 自我同情与移情呈正相关；(2) 自尊对这两个变量之间的关系起中介作用。因此，增强本科生的自我同情可能是提高他们移情能力的有效方法。然而，还需要更多的研究来阐明自我同情在教育环境中的作用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
