摘要

This study aimed to explore the relationship between repetitive negative thinking (RNT) and general psychological symptoms while investigating the moderating role of self-compassion. A sample of 776 non-clinical individuals participated in the study. Participants completed measures assessing RNT, self-compassion, and general psychological symptoms. Moderation analysis revealed a significant interaction effect, indicating that self-compassion moderated the relationship between RNT and general symptoms. Specifically, higher levels of self-compassion weakened the association between RNT and symptoms. This finding underlines the importance of interventions targeting self-compassion to mitigate the adverse effects of RNT on overall psychological well-being. Moreover, emphasizing RNT’s transdiagnostic nature underscores its relevance across various psychological disorders. Implications for clinical practice and interventions aimed at targeting RNT and fostering self-compassion are discussed.
