Self-compassion has demonstrated many psychological benefits (Neff, 2009). In an effort to explore self-compassion as a potential resource for young women athletes, we explored relations among self-compassion, proneness to self-conscious emotions (i.e., shame, guilt-free shame, guilt, shame-free guilt, authentic pride, and hubristic pride), and potentially unhealthy self-evaluative thoughts and...

Self-compassion has been found to promote well-being but research has yet to examine whether training in self-compassion improves self-regulation (Gilbert, 2005, 2009; Neff, 2003). the present study sought to examine the impact and moderators of a self-compassion intervention on the self-regulation of cigarette smoking. one hundred and twenty-six smokers seeking to quit were randomly assigned t...

The threshold region of vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) presents a great experimental and computational challenge for organic molecules with more than 10 degrees of freedom. The density of states tot is high and requires high resolution measurements over a wide range to cover all relevant timescales experimentally. Yet tot is sufficiently low that IVR quantities like the initial relaxat...

THE PROBLEMS of eliminating expired carbon dioxide from anaesthetic circuits have excited the ingenuity of designers for many years. Carbon dioxide absorption systems, initially introduced in the form of "to-and-fro" circuits, produce an apparatus dead-space which tends to increase as the absorption material becomes exhausted. Means of circulating the gases through the absorber in order to redu...

Self-compassion, typically operationalized as the total score of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS; Neff, 2003b), has been shown to be related to increased psychological well-being and lower depression in students of the social sciences, users of psychology websites and psychotherapy patients. The current study builds on the existing literature by examining the link between self-compassion and dep...

Introduction: With the extensive application of radiation sources and radioactive materials in various fields, the study of attenuation and absorption of X-rays and gamma-rays in several materials has become an essential and interesting field of research. Glass materials are possible alternatives of concretes for radiation-shielding materials.   Materials and Methods:...
