Abstract

Self-compassion is positively correlated with life satisfaction. However, no previous work examined the cross-cultural difference regarding the effect size of this correlation. Using 79 independent samples (N = 23,976) from 26 countries/regions, this three-level meta-analysis synthesized the effect sizes of their correlation, partitioned the between-study heterogeneity into the within- and between-country levels, and examined the moderating role of national culture according to the revised Minkov-Hofstede model. Results indicated that self-compassion was positively correlated with life satisfaction, with a moderate-to-large effect size (.40 ≤ r ≤ .47); 33.66% and 35.73% of the effect size variance could be attributed to the within-country and between-country heterogeneities; this correlation was stronger in samples collected from more individualistic societies. This study highlights that self-compassion may fit differently into different cultural realities and the importance of raising cultural awareness in future self-compassion research.

社会个体主义集体主义中自我同情与生活满意度的相关性——三层次元分析

自我同情与生活满意度呈正相关。然而，以前没有研究过这种相关性的影响大小的跨文化差异。使用79个独立样本（N = 23976），这项三级荟萃分析综合了它们之间相关性的影响大小，将研究之间的异质性划分为国家内部和国家之间的水平，并根据修订的Minkov-Hofstede模型检验了民族文化的调节作用。结果表明，自我同情与生活满意度呈正相关，具有中到大的效应大小（.40 ≤ r ≤ .47）；33.66%和35.73%的效应大小差异可归因于国内和国家间的异质性；这种相关性在从更加个人主义的社会中收集的样本中更强。这项研究强调了自我同情可能以不同的方式适应不同的文化现实，以及在未来的自我同情研究中提高文化意识的重要性。

期刊介绍： Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology publishes papers that focus on the interrelationships between culture and psychological processes. Submitted manuscripts may report results from either cross-cultural comparative research or results from other types of research concerning the ways in which culture (and related concepts such as ethnicity) affect the thinking and behavior of individuals as well as how individual thought and behavior define and reflect aspects of culture. Review papers and innovative reformulations of cross-cultural theory will also be considered. Studies reporting data from within a single nation should focus on cross-cultural perspective. Empirical studies must be described in sufficient detail to be potentially replicable.
