Abstract

Fear of compassion is one's resistance to showing compassion for oneself and others. This resistance can manifest itself in three dimensions as the fear of showing compassion for others, reciprocating compassion from others, and showing compassion for ourselves. However, individuals with psychological flexibility may feel this fear less. In this study, whether the subdimensions of psychological flexibility (values and committed action, present moment awareness, acceptance, self as context ,and defusion) were significant predictors of the subdimensions of fear of compassion (fear of compassion for others, fear of compassion from other, and fear of self-compassion) has been examined and it was investigated whether fear of compassion scores differed significantly according to gender and relationship status. Personal Information Form, Fears of Compassion Scales and Psychological Flexibility Scale were used to collect data. Analyzes showed that psychological flexibility was a significant predictor of fear of compassion in all subdimensions, men's fear of compassion was higher than women's, and the fear of responding to compassion from others was significantly higher in married individuals than in single individuals.

Özet

Şefkat korkusu kişinin kendisine ve diğerlerine şefkat göstermeye karşı direncidir. Bu direnç, başkalarına şefkat gösterme, başkalarından gelen şefkate karşılık verme, kendimize şefkat gösterme korkusu olarak üç boyutta kendini gösterebilir. Bununla birlikte psikolojik esnekliğe sahip olan bireyler bu korkuyu daha az hissedebilir. Bu araştırmada yetişkin bireylerde psikolojik esneklik alt boyutlarının (değerler ve değerler doğrultusunda davranma, anda olma, kabul, bağlamsal benlik, ayrışma) şefkat korkusunun alt boyutları olan başkalarına sefkat gösterme korkusu, başkalarından gelen şefkate karşılık verme korkusu ve kendimize anlayış ve şefkat gösterme korkusunun anlamlı yordayıcıları olup olmadığı ve şefkat korkusu puanlarının cinsiyet ve ilişki durumuna göre anlamlı düzeyde farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı araştırılmıştır. Veriler için Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Şefkat Korkusu Ölçeği ve Psikolojik Esneklik Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Analizler psikolojik esnekliğin tüm alt boyutlarda şefkat korkusunun anlamlı yordayıcısı olduğunu, erkeklerin şefkat korkusunun kadınlara oranla daha yüksek düzeyde olduğunu ve evli bireylerde başkalarından gelen şefkate karşılık verme korkusunun bekar bireylere göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir.
