Abstract
Participants completed a measure of self-compassion and a 3-minute eyes-closed recording of resting-state EEG. Differences between participants high versus low in self-acceptance, a subscale of self-compassion, were analyzed. The research showed that participants who exhibited higher levels of self-acceptance showed greater activation in frontal regions of the brain.
