Self-Discrepancy Theory

Traits and States

221
Personality traits represent consistent patterns in behavior, thoughts, and emotions, reflecting an individual's tendencies across various situations. For example, extraversion, a well-known trait, manifests in individuals as talkative, energetic, and enthusiastic behaviors.

In contrast to traits,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Cross-sectional studies show a link between self-compassion and coping self-efficacy.
  • Limited understanding exists regarding the daily persistence and temporal dynamics of these constructs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the temporal relationship between daily self-compassion and coping self-efficacy.
  • To explore the stability and reciprocal influence of these psychological constructs in daily life.

Main Methods:

  • A 14-day daily diary study was conducted with 240 participants.
  • Dynamic structural equation modeling (DSEM) was employed to analyze 3219 daily observations.
  • Self-report measures assessed daily levels of self-compassion and coping self-efficacy.

Main Results:

  • Both self-compassion and coping self-efficacy demonstrated significant stability across the study period.
  • Self-compassion significantly predicted subsequent levels of coping self-efficacy.
  • Coping self-efficacy significantly predicted subsequent levels of self-compassion.

Conclusions:

  • Daily self-compassion and coping self-efficacy are stable and dynamically influence each other.
  • A virtuous cycle exists between state self-compassion and state coping self-efficacy.
  • These findings highlight the importance of fostering both constructs for psychological well-being.
