Abstract: (58 Views)
This research aimed to predict the positive development of adolescence in students based on psychological flexibility and self-compassion. The current study was a descriptive-correlation type of regression analysis. The statistical population of this research consisted of all female students in the second secondary level in Tehran in 2024, who were selected using available sampling and completed the questionnaire, resulting in a sample of 264 individuals. The tools of this research include the Positive Youth Development Scale (PYDS, Geldhof et al., 2014), the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire - Second Edition (AAQ-II, Bond et al., 2011), and the Self-Compassion Scale short form (SCS-SF, Raes, 2011). Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation test and multiple regression. The findings showed a positive and significant relationship between psychological flexibility and self-compassion, as well as their positive impact on the development of adolescence (p < 0.01). Also, psychological flexibility and self-compassion explained a total of 25% of the changes in the positive development of adolescence (p<0.001). These results show that psychological flexibility and self-compassion can explain the positive development of adolescence in students, and it is necessary to pay attention to these factors in interaction with each other in programs to promote the positive development of adolescence.
