The Power to Care for Oneself: Power Increases Self‐Compassion

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sense of power and self‐compassion both impact important intrapsychic and interpersonal outcomes. However, how powerholders treat themselves when experiencing failure or personal setbacks is unclear. We propose that powerholders are more apt than their lower‐power counterparts to exhibit self‐compassion when faced with difficulties. Across six

‘Working Through’ Interpersonal Transgressions: The Role of Narration (and Re‐Narration) in the Self‐Forgiveness Processes of Wrongdoers

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research examines how wrongdoers may use narration to ‘work through’ a transgression committed, towards self‐forgiveness and reconciliation. In Study 1 (N = 30), reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify narrative types observable in wrongdoers’ storying of a recent interpersonal transgression, informing our conceptual framework ...
