Self-Love of the Present Moment: The Relationship between Mindfulness and Self- Compassion

The purpose of the study is to explore relationships between characteristics of dispositional mindfulness (observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging, non-reactivity) and self-compassion (self-kindness, self-judgement, common humanity, isolation, mindfulness, and over-identification) among 100 college students. Based on multivariate statistics, significant relationships between the subscales of mindfulness and self-compassion are expected.
