Abstract
ABSTRACT The current study examined the longitudinal association of social cognition (Theory of Mind, empathy) and self-affect (self-conscious emotions) with 99 adolescents’ positive and negative dimensions of self-compassion over two years (T1: 10.75 years, T2: 12.08 years). For the total sample, analysis showed no relations among variables, but separate gender analysis revealed differences in correlational patterns. For boys only, self-coldness negatively predicted affective Theory of Mind or the ability to recognize emotions in others. For girls only, affective Theory of Mind predicted an increase in blaming others for transgressions. Higher levels of the ability to recognize emotions in others failed to foster self-kindness and compassion. Decoding others’ emotions may protect adolescent girls from self-judgement, and boys from self-coldness.
期刊介绍：
Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals" striving for well-being and for making sense of one"s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one"s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one"s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one"s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.
