Abstract
The current research aimed to explore the direct and indirect influences of
self-compassion (SC) on alcohol consumption (AC), being mediated by stress and
depression among Thai businessmen in Bangkok, Thailand. This research
investigation employed quantitative methods based on data derived from a self-report
survey questionnaire on a population of 266 Thai businessmen (N=266). This study
used the correlation approach via path analysis to determine if the targeted
population’s level of SC can predict their level of AC, both directly and indirectly,
being mediated by their levels of stress and depression. The findings demonstrated
significant direct influence of SC on AC. It was also found that SC has negative direct
influence on stress and depression, indicating that the more self-compassionate the
participants are, the lower is their level of depression and stress. Surprisingly, this
research did not find an indirect influence of SC on AC, being mediated by stress and
depression. The findings, conclusions, limitations, and recommendations of the study
were discussed accordingly.
