Abstract

This study was to examine the effect of self-compassion writing on self-compassion level in depressive tendency group. Furthermore, we investigated the effect on subtypes of rumination and emotional regulation after self-compassion writing treatment. The K-SCS and the BDI were used for screening of 654 university students, and based on the results, they were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: self-compassion treatment group(n=13), distraction treatment group(n=11), and untreated control group(n=13). Treatment included 6 sessions during two weeks. The result showed that participants in the self-compassion treatment group compared with distraction treatment group and untreated control group showed significant increases in self-compassion levels at post-test than pre-test. Although rumination, brooding, reflection level showed no significant effect, depressive rumination, emotion regulation, psychological symptoms and depression level were significantly decreased after self-compassion writing. Particularly, decreased emotion regulation and depression level were relatively constant during the 4-weeks follow-up periods. These results implied usability of self-compassion writing as a self-instructional method and therapeutic mechanism. Finally, implications and limitations of the current study were discussed along with suggestions for future research.
