Overview

Longitudinal survey reveals self-compassion influences youth mental health through negative emotion mindsets, suggesting intervention pathways.

Key Points

  • Negative emotion mindsets fully mediate self-compassion's effects on youth mental health outcomes like depression and anxiety.
  • The study involved 719 secondary school students over three years, with significant mediation effects observed in life satisfaction.
  • Longitudinal analysis confirms the pathway from self-compassion to mental health via negative emotion beliefs, rather than vice versa.
  • The findings underscore the importance of addressing negative emotion mindsets in promoting youth mental health and well-being.
