憂鬱是當今困擾數億人口的心理疾病，影響個體功能發揮與社會發展。本研究試圖探討自我疼惜在羞恥與憂鬱之間的關聯，與自我疼惜是否可作為未來預防憂鬱症、調節羞恥情緒之適用方向。本研究內涵兩個研究，研究一為問卷調查法與研究二為實驗介入法。試圖驗證：(1)自我疼惜在內部羞恥感與外部羞恥感與憂鬱之間是否作為中介；(2)透過練習自我疼惜書寫，可否降低個體受羞恥所影響之憂鬱與提升自我疼惜。經多元迴歸與Sobel統計驗證，研究結果顯示：(1)自我疼惜在內部與外部羞恥與憂鬱之間皆作為中介；(2)研究二自我疼惜之操弄失效，以現有資料分析，仍可得到自我疼惜作為中介一致的結論。可得知個體增進自我疼惜，可能幫助個體預防羞恥所提高的憂鬱之風險。本研究也會依據研究結果進行研究的討論，更進一步提出對自我疼惜書寫介入之未來研究上的相關建議，以作為研究參考。

Depression is a mental illness that afflicts hundreds of millions of people today, affecting individual functioning and social development. This study attempts to explore the relationship between self-compassion and shame and whether self-compassion can be used to prevent depression and regulate shame. This study consists of two studies: Study one follows the questionnaire method and study two is an experimental intervention. The aim is to test :(1) Whether self-compassion acts as a mediator between internal shame and external shame and depression; (2) Through practicing self-compassion writing, can individuals reduce the depression affected by shame and improve self-compassion? After multiple regression and Sobel statistical verification, the results show that: (1) Self-compassion is a mediator between internal and external shame and depression; (2) In study 2, the manipulation of self-compassion is ineffective. Based on the analysis of existing data, the conclusion that self-compassion is a mediator can still be obtained. It is known that increased self-compassion may help individuals prevent the increased risk of depression caused by shame. This paper will also discuss the results of the study, and further put forward relevant suggestions for future research on the intervention of self-compassionate writing for research reference.
