Abstract

This study examines the influence of self-esteem and self-compassion on adult life satisfaction, employing a longitudinal design to elucidate the dynamic interplay between these constructs over time. A diverse sample of adults participated in the study, completing measures of self-esteem, self-compassion, and life satisfaction at multiple time points. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses revealed significant positive associations between self-esteem, self-compassion, and life satisfaction, with individuals reporting higher levels of self-esteem and self-compassion experiencing greater life satisfaction over time. Moreover, interaction effects between self-esteem and self-compassion were observed, suggesting that individuals who possess both high self-esteem and high self-compassion tend to experience the highest levels of life satisfaction. These findings underscore the importance of fostering positive self-regard and self-compassionate attitudes in adulthood and highlight avenues for promoting greater overall well-being and resilience through targeted interventions and public health initiatives.
