<p>This study examined self-compassion and experiential avoidance mediation pathways including the relationship of self-esteem, and the indirect effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on self-esteem through self-compassion and experiential avoidance (mediation). This study utilized a quasi-experimental, a matched-group pre-test–post-test design. Participants (experimental group = 20, control group = 17) were first matched based on self-esteem scores and gender, and then assigned to groups. The analyses were conducted with the PROCESS macro. As a result of the mediation analysis, the effect of mediation of being in the experiment and the control group was found in the prediction of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale post-test score after controlling the Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF) and the Avoidance and Fusion Questionnaire – Youth 8 (AFQ-Y8) pre-test scores on the SCS-SF and the AFQ-Y8 post-test scores.

Such interventions may be beneficial in school-based mental health programs.</p>

摘要

This study examined self-compassion and experiential avoidance mediation pathways including the relationship of self-esteem, and the indirect effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on self-esteem through self-compassion and experiential avoidance (mediation). This study utilized a quasi-experimental, a matched-group pre-test–post-test design. Participants (experimental group = 20, control group = 17) were first matched based on self-esteem scores and gender, and then assigned to groups. The analyses were conducted with the PROCESS macro. As a result of the mediation analysis, the effect of mediation of being in the experiment and the control group was found in the prediction of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale post-test score after controlling the Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF) and the Avoidance and Fusion Questionnaire – Youth 8 (AFQ-Y8) pre-test scores on the SCS-SF and the AFQ-Y8 post-test scores. These findings suggested that ACT-based interventions can be clinically effective in improving adolescents’ self-esteem by enhancing self-compassion and reducing experiential avoidance and cognitive fusion. Such interventions may be beneficial in school-based mental health programs.
