Summary

This study aims to investigate the effect that increasing levels of self-compassion may have on levels of perceived criticism, self-criticism, and mental health of adults with ADHD. A secondary aim of the study is to capture how feasible using an online self-guided self-compassion practice maybe with people with ADHD.

Research Questions

1. Does a short self-guided self-compassion intervention increase levels of state and/or trait self-compassion in adults with ADHD over time?
2. Are changes in state and/or trait self-compassion associated with changes in levels of self-criticism or perceived criticism?
3. Are changes in state and/or trait self-compassion associated with improvements in mental health?
4. Are changes in mental health mediated by changes in self-criticism or perceived criticism?
