Abstract

A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 85 Indian undergraduate students to examine the efficacy of a 3-week online self-compassion intervention, consisting of a weekly meditation and writing practice. The intervention, as compared to the control, reduced self-coldness and anxiety. Reduction in self-coldness partially mediated the intervention’s effect on anxiety.
