#TBT @allison_kelly and Sydney Waring find a self-compassionate letter-writing intervention for non-treatment seeking women with #anorexia, increases #SelfCompassion, decreases shame and fear of self-compassion, and may increase readiness to get help. doi.org/10.1002/eat.22…
Meet our research assistant Caitlyn Mask! Caitlyn is a fourth year student @UwaterlooPsych who has been working with our lab since December 2023. She has been helping PhD student Jenessa Shaw transcribe interviews with participants and is excited to start coding these interviews
Congrats to Mia Mackenzie on finishing her last semester @UwaterlooPsych! Mia completed her honours thesis in our lab, finding that more #SelfCompassion is related to less negative #BodyImage, while more loneliness is linked to more negative body image.
Congratulations to Hayden Wong on completing his last semester of undergraduate studies and his honours #Thesis! Findings suggest women expect and report more distress with a #SelfCompassion exercise than men, while other experiences were largely similar between genders.
We are excited for undergraduate student Samantha Beneteau to conduct her honours #Thesis with our lab! Samantha is examining the links between #BodyCompassion & disordered eating behaviours & psychosocial functioning in individuals meeting diagnostic criteria for Bulimia Nervosa
#SelfCompassion may be contagious & benefit others! Hearing someone display self-compassion is associated with more state self-compassion, more positive affect, & lower negative affect in the listener. Read Kathryn Miller & @allison_kelly's paper here: doi.org/10.1037/cbs000…
Big congratulations to @aleecekatan on being awarded a University of Waterloo #Psychology Memorial Award! This award recognizes outstanding @UwaterlooPsych students based on academic excellence.
Meet (most of) the members of the Self-Attiudes Lab @UwaterlooPsych this semester! We are so thankful to have such a wonderful team of researchers. #Psychology #Research
Thank you @ABCTNOW for a wonderful conference and the opportunity to present work done by @allison_kelly and myself. It was great to chat with others about intervening with self-criticism with brief cognitive and compassion-focused interventions! @AttitudesLab #ABCT2024
Come check out our grad students @M_Grove_ and @M_Korlacka's poster presentations this Saturday at #ABCT2024!
Erin Bowman, @M_Korlacka & @M_Grove_ shared an impactful presentation, " What is #SelfCompassion & is it Useful for Me?" as part of the Active Adults Series @KitchLibrary. They introduced self-compassion to adults 50+ years old and gave tips to help integrate it into daily life.
We would like to congratulate our students Michelle and Monica on graduating with their MA in #ClinicalPsychology from @UwaterlooPsych! We are looking forward to having @M_Grove_ and @M_Korlacka continue as PhD students with the Self-Attitudes Lab.
Congratulations to our research assistant Esosa Omoregbee for graduating with her BSc in #Psychology and beginning her MASc in Industrial-Organizational Psychology @UWaterloo! With the lab, Esosa worked alongside @M_Grove_ helping with her MA research.
Only a few seats left for @M_Korlacka, @M_Grove_ & Erin Bowman's presentation on Oct 30th "What is #SelfCompassion and is it Useful for Me?" Adults 50+ years old can register for the event at the Forest Heights @KitchLibrary branch here: kpl.events.mylibrary.digital/event?id=110911
Congrats @M_Grove_ & @M_Korlacka on receiving the #Ontario Graduate Scholarship for their PhD research! Monica uses social psychological theories to understand predictors of #SelfCompassion & Michelle examines how self-compassion interventions may help self-critical individuals
We are excited to be accepting applications for graduate students to the #ClinicalPsychology program @UwaterlooPsych for fall 2025! View info on joining our lab and @allison_kelly here: uwaterloo.ca/self-attitudes… Due to funding constraints only Canadian applicants can be considered
#TBT Women with #anorexia tend to feel proud before and immediately after exercise, but grow more ashamed of their eating, body, and general character as time passes. Read @ma_ruofan & @allison_kelly's paper published in Eating and Weight Disorders here: doi.org/10.1007/s40519…
Congratulations to @aleecekatan on starting her residency at the Edmonton Consortium #ClinicalPsychology Residency program! We are wishing her all the best on this next stage of her PhD at @UwaterlooPsych.
