Abstract
In this study of 1,158 U.S. college sorority women, participants who completed a brief general self-compassion, body-compassion, or body functionality-focused online writing exercise show greater body satisfaction and greater positive affect compared to counterparts who wrote about a recent positive event in their lives.
