Background: Research suggests that self-compassion is important for understanding different life outcomes. This study explored how certain demographic factors and self-compassion affect the positive mental health of married Hindu couples.
Methods: Utilizing a correlational design, 300 married Hindu couples (Age range = 26-50 years, Mean = 38.42, SD = 7.89) from Sagar City, MP, India, were recruited through snowball sampling in which existing participants provided referrals to other potential participants. The Self-compassion Scale, the Socioeconomic Status Scale and the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form were used as study measures. Mean, standard deviation, correlation, and regression analysis were computed. The significance level was determined at 0.05 or higher.
Results: Results revealed that age (r = 0.188, p = 0.01) and marriage length (r = 0.110, p = 0.01), self-kindness (r = 0.332, p = 0.01), common humanity (r = 0.284, p = 0.01), and mindfulness (r = 0.250, p = 0.01) were positively correlated with well-being. Conversely, self-judgment (r = -0.099, p = NS), isolation (r = 0.019, p = NS), and over-identification (r = 0.005, p = NS) displayed weak or negative correlations. Demographic factors (education, gender, age, domicile, job type, and marriage length) (R2 = 12.60%, p < .001) and self-compassion (R2 = 24.80%, p < .001) significantly predicted well-being.
Conclusion: The findings provide significant insights into the positive role of self-compassion and demographic factors in the well-being of married Hindu couples. Future research could examine the role of self-compassion interventions in different cultural contexts and examine long-term well-being outcomes. |
