Abstract
Self-discrepancy (SD) is positively related to depression. But, how self-compassion (SC) and fear of happiness (FH) impact that relationship is unclear. We thus examined these variables together. SD was positively related to depression, regardless of SC; however, SC buffered the effects of SD on depression in those with low FH.
