Περίληψη
Η αυτοσυμπόνοια είναι μία πρόσφατα ανεπτυγμένη έννοια στον τομέα της θετικής ψυχολογίας. Αρκετές έρευνες έχουν αναδείξει τα οφέλη της σε σχέση με το ευ ζην των ανθρώπων. Επιπροσθέτως, έρευνες έχουν εστιάσει στην εξέταση διαφορών στην αυτοσυμπόνοια αναφορικά με το φύλο, σε συγκεκριμένες ηλικιακές ομάδες, παρουσιάζοντας αντιφατικά αποτελέσματα. Ο σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας είναι να διερευνήσει τον συσχετισμό ανάμεσα στην αυτοσυμπόνοια και το φύλο, διαχρονικά, σε ένα μεγάλο εύρος ηλικιών της ενήλικης ζωής. Το δείγμα αποτελείται από 292 συμμετέχοντες, ηλικίας 18 έως 72 ετών, του γενικού πληθυσμού.  Οι συμμετέχοντες συμπλήρωσαν ερωτηματολόγια αυτό-αναφοράς σε σχέση με την αυτοσυμπόνοια, στο διαδίκτυο (SCS) (Neff, 2003b).  Συνολικά, τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι τα επίπεδα αυτοσυμπόνοιας στις γυναίκες ήταν υψηλότερα σε σχέση με τους άνδρες. Επίσης, η αυτοσυμπόνοια συσχετίσθηκε θετικά με την ηλικία, ενώ, οι μεγαλύτεροι άνδρες, 50 ετών και πάνω, παρουσίασαν υψηλότερα επίπεδα αυτοσυμπόνοιας σε σχέση με τους νεότερους.  Τα αποτελέσματα υποδεικνύουν την σημαντική συνεισφορά της αυτοσυμπόνοιας στην ψυχολογική ευημερία. Προτείνεται, ακόμα, πως τα αποτελέσματα θα μπορούσαν να συνεισφέρουν στον σχεδιασμό ενός περισσότερου ενημερωμένου, δομημένου και καθορισμένου πλάνου παρέμβασης, με ομάδες στόχου αναφορικά με την ηλικία και το φύλο, τα οποία φαίνονται να είναι πιο ευαίσθητα. Τέλος, πιθανές προτάσεις για περαιτέρω έρευνα διερευνώνται.
