Exploration of Resilience in Relation to Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, and Attachment Styles (Master's thesis, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada). Retrieved from https://prism.ucalgary.ca. doi:10.11575/PRISM/26075http://hdl.handle.net/11023/1125This study utilized a cross-sectional design (N = 114) to investigate relationships between the constructs of resilience, mindfulness, self-compassion, and attachment styles with the goal of gaining better insights into the nature of these relationships and shedding light on the possible mechanisms through which these constructs may interact and contribute to positive mental health outcomes. Resilience was significantly positively correlated with mindfulness and self-compassion, as well as significantly inversely correlated with attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance. Multiple regression analyses containing the predictors of (a) mindfulness, self-compassion, attachment anxiety, and attachment avoidance, (b) individual mindfulness components, and (c) individual self-compassion components all accounted for a significant amount of variance in resilience scores. Mindfulness and self-compassion were significantly negatively correlated with both attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance. An additional exploratory component of this study examined the effects of yoga practice and amount of experience in practicing yoga on the constructs of interest.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
