Putting Oneself in the Body of Others: A Pilot Study on the Efficacy of an Embodied Virtual Reality System to Generate Self-Compassion
2019
[EN] Compassion-based interventions (CBIs) have been shown to be effective for increasing empathy and compassion, and reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. CBIs are based on constructive meditations where imagery abilities are essential. One of the major difficulties that participants report during the training is the difficulty related to imagery abilities. Virtual reality (VR) can be a useful tool to overcome this limitation because it can facilitate the construction and sustainment of mental images. The machine to be another (TMTBA) uses multi-sensory stimulation to induce a body swap illusion. This system allows participants to see themselves from a third perspective and have the il…
In the shadow of COVID-19: A randomized controlled online ACT trial promoting adolescent psychological flexibility and self-compassion.
2023

Consequently, there is a need for psychological support that exceeds the strained resources available to schools to support young people during times of crisis and societal pressure.

Methods Participants (N = 2,253; 53.4% female, Mage 50 years) completed the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), Adult Attachment Scale (AAS), Beck Depression Inventory-Fast Screen (BDI-FS), and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). Mediation analysis was used to…
Towards a Comprehensive Understanding of Body Image: Integrating Positive Body Image, Embodiment and Self-Compassion.
2021
Body image (BI) disturbance is a relevant factor in the etiology and treatment of eating disorders (ED). Although progress has been made in recent decades in understanding BI and its relationship with ED, the efficacy of BI disturbance prevention and intervention programs is still limited. In order to reach deeper understanding of BI disturbance and clarify the interactions between some protective and risk factors related to this construct, we carried out a literature review on some specific BI-related factors that so far have been analyzed independently. We specifically examined positive and negative BI; embodiment and its role in the development of positive and negative BI; and self-compa…

Sociālās salīdzināšanas un iejūtības pret sevi saistības
2015
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot kādas saistības pastāv starp iejūtību pret sevi un tendenci salīdzināties, kā arī starp iejūtību pret sevi un to, kā indivīds sevi novērtē salīdzinājumā ar citiem. Pētījumā piedalījās 106 respondenti – 16 vīrieši un 90 sievietes (vidējais vecums – 34,25 gadi). Tika izmantotas trīs aptaujas – Aiovas-Nīderlandes salīdzināšanas tendences skala, Sociālās salīdzināšanas skala un Iejūtības pret sevi skala. Pētījuma rezultāti atklāj, ka starp iejūtību pret sevi un tendenci salīdzināties pastāv statistiski nozīmīga negatīva sakarība, bet starp iejūtību pret sevi un sevis pozitīvāku novērtējumu salīdzinājumā ar citiem – statistiski nozīmīga pozitīva sakarība. Mazāka s…
