"Silence! The body is speaking" - a correlational study of personality, perfectionism, and self-compassion as risk and protective factors for psychosomatic symptoms distress.
Psychology, Health & Medicine 2018 November 15
The current study examined the role of personality traits on psychosomatic distress (PD) and tested the hypothesis that the association between perfectionism and PD would be moderated by self-compassion. One hundred and seventy-three community volunteers, of whom 24.9% were men, mean age 31.52 ± 13.29, reported online on the DS14, a measure of Type D personality, on the TCI-140, a measure of temperament and character, on the Frost multidimensional perfectionism scale, on the short form of the self-compassion scale and on the SOMS-7 for psychosomatic symptoms. We defined psychosomatic distress as the product of the symptom count and severity rating score of the SOMS-7. The hierarchical linear regression model that included all the personality variables as well as the interaction term between self-compassion and perfectionism accounted for 25% of the variance in PD. The interaction between perfectionism and self-compassion entered into the model in the last block was highly protective. High self-compassion moderated the effect of perfectionism on PD. Our finding correspond with the notion that personality can enhance PD but can also mitigate it. Protective personality traits, such as self-compassion, might be good targets for psychological intervention.
