- Abstract
- This study aimed to investigate how different psychological mechanisms are related to well-being. More specifically, the study investigated how psychological flexibility, psychological inflexibility, self-compassion and compassion for others were related to mental illness and life satisfaction. Data were collected through an online survey (N = 171) with measures of psychological flexibility, compassion and self-compassion, mental illness and life satisfaction. The result showed that there was a positive relationship between psychological flexibility and well-being. However, the relationship between compassion and self-compassion related to well-being did not go in the predicted direction. The results were partly in line with previous... (More)

- Den här studien syftade att undersöka hur olika psykologiska mekanismer är relaterade till välmående. Mer specifikt undersökte studien hur psykologisk flexibilitet, psykologisk inflexibilitet, självmedkänsla och medkänsla för andra är relaterade till psykisk ohälsa och livstillfredsställelse. Data samlades in genom en online-enkät (N=171) med mått på psykologisk flexibilitet, medkänsla för andra och självmedkänsla, psykisk ohälsa och livstillfredsställelse. Resultatet visade att det fanns en positiv relation mellan psykologisk flexibilitet och välmående. Däremot gick sambandet mellan medkänsla för andra och självmedkänsla relaterat till välmående inte i predicerad riktning. Resultaten var delvis i linje med tidigare forskning men vissa... (More)

Däremot gick sambandet mellan medkänsla för andra och självmedkänsla relaterat till välmående inte i predicerad riktning. Resultaten var delvis i linje med tidigare forskning men vissa resultat avvek från vad som tidigare konstaterats, som att medkänsla för andra och självmedkänsla inte var positivt relaterat till välmående. En möjlig förklaring till detta kan vara att vi i skrivande stund befinner oss i en pandemi som möjligt kan påverka det generella måendet och därmed bidragit till det något avvikande resultatet.
