Samosaosećanje i samopoštovanje kao prediktori psihološke dobrobiti

Abstract

His paper examines how different conceptualizations of treating oneself, self-esteem and self-compassion relate to various aspects of well-being. Self-compassion is a relatively novel psychological construct and an alternative conceptualization of self-evaluation models which entails a stable sense of self-worth that is not contingent on social approval or particular outcomes, but rather founded on the awareness that one is valuable as a human being. Based on previous research, we expected that self-compassion would predict unique variance in wellbeing, especially eudaimonic well-being. The study was conducted on a sample of 165 participants. The following measures were used in the research: Self - liking/Self - Competence Scale, Self - Compassion Scale, Questionnaire for Eudaimonic Well-Being, Basic Psychological Needs Scale and Pemberton Happiness Index. The results are indicating that both self-compassion and self-esteem are equally important predictors of various aspects of well-being. Additionally, given that selfcompassion and self-esteem are highly correlated, findings are indicating the significant degree of overlap between the constructs. Although, we strongly recommend future research on self-compassion, as potentially useful for comprehensive understanding of self-evaluation models, and propose future research directions.
