Self-Compassion, Social Constraints, and Psychosocial Outcomes in a Pet Bereavement Sample.

Omega (Westport) . 2021;82 (3) :389-408

Résumé

This study investigated self-compassion in the context of grief following the death of a companion animal in a recently bereaved sample ( = 431). We addressed social contexts and individual differences focusing on how psychosocial outcomes vary as a function of social constraints, as well as individual differences in self-compassion and use of continuing bonds (CB). We observed that self-compassion related to the frequency of engagement in CB. Self-compassion also moderated relationships between grief severity and depression as well as social constraints and depression. We recommend future research on self-compassion training and psychosocial outcomes, especially for those experiencing social constraints or disenfranchised grief.
