The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of self-compassion training on reducing self-critical levels and improving Self-concept clarity in students with physical disabilities. The method of this research was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with the control group. The statistical population of the study included all first-grade high school students in Ardabil city in the academic year 2019-2020. The number of research samples was 40 people who were selected by the targeted sampling method and were randomly divided into two groups of self-compassion training (20 people) and a control group (20 people). In order to collect the data, the Self-concept clarity Scale (Campbell et al, 1996) and the levels of self-criticism scale (Thampson & Zuroff, 2004) were used. Eight 70-minute compassion training sessions were performed for the experimental group. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) test was used to analyze the data. Findings showed that self-compassion training had a significant effect on improving self-concept clarity (F=8.76, P<0/01) and reducing comparison self-criticism (F=8.14, P<0/01) and internal self-criticism (F=6.83, P<0/01) was present in students with physical disabilities. Based on these results, it can be stated that this educational /therapeutic method can be used by school psychologists to improve the reduction of self-critical levels and improving Self-concept clarity in students with physical disabilities.
