Self-Compassion Promotes Subjective Authenticity<\/h4>\n<p>Both theory and research show that authenticity has positive psychological effects. However, surprisingly little research has been done on the factors that promote authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>However, these five studies test whether self-compassion promotes subjective authenticity.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Study 1 found a positive association between the traits self-compassion and authenticity.<\/li>\n<li>Study 2 showed that on days when people felt more self-compassion, they also felt more authentic.<\/li>\n<li>Study 3 found that people who were experimentally induced to have self-compassion reported greater levels of authenticity compared to control participants.<\/li>\n<li>Research 4 and 5 found that self-compassion predicts greater authenticity by:\n<ul>\n<li>Reduced fear of negative evaluation (study 4);<\/li>\n<li>and increased optimism (survey 5).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In all studies, the effects of self-compassion on authenticity could not be explained by self-respect.
