Self-compassion and forgiveness: The protective approach against rejection sensitivity
Journal Title: International Journal of Human and Behavioral Science - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between self-compassion, forgiveness and rejection sensitivity. Participants were 496 university students who completed the Self-compassion Scale, the Trait Forgiveness Scale and the Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed with Pearson Moments Correlation Analysis and Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA). In correlation analysis, forgiveness and self-compassion were negatively related to rejection sensitivity, and forgiveness was also associated with self-compassion. According Multiple Regression Analysis results, rejection sensitivity was predicted negatively by forgiveness and self-compassion, and also self-compassion is the best predictor for rejection sensitivity. The findings were discussed in light of the related literature.
