Efects of Quality Practice on a Compassion Cultivation Training: Somatic and Imagery Levels of Analysis

Objectives Compassion-based interventions (CBIs) are efective in promoting mental health. However, the mechanisms through which CBIs produce these positive outcomes are not fully known. The amount of meditation practice in CBIs has been associated with the outcomes but the role of quality of practic...

However, the mechanisms through which CBIs produce these positive outcomes are not fully known. The amount of meditation practice in CBIs has been associated with the outcomes but the role of quality of practice has not yet been explored. Thus, in addition to examining the contribution of the Compassion Practice Quality Scale (CPQS) to predicting the main outcomes of a CBI (compassion cultivation training), the current study explored the scale’s construct validity and sensitivity to change. Methods Data were drawn from a pretest–posttest study design (n=74), and compassion practice quality, positive selfcompassion, negative self-compassion, difculties in emotion regulation, and body awareness were assessed. Results The CPQS was found to be a valid and reliable measure, showing pretest–posttest diferences. Overall, CPQS baseline scores were positively associated with positive self-compassion and body awareness and negatively associated with negative self-compassion and difculties in emotion regulation. Moreover, compassion practice quality explained a signifcant amount of variance in positive self-compassion (ΔR2=.18, ΔF (4, 31)=2.69, p=.049), after controlling for baseline positive selfcompassion, previous meditation experience, and frequency of formal practice during the CBI.
