This study aimed to validate the Self-Critical Rumination Scale (SCRS) for a sample of Iranian university students. This descriptive-evaluative study translated and validated the Persian version of (SCRS) in a sample of Iranian students. A convenience sample of 307 students from the University of Tabriz was recruited for this study in 2023. To examine the test-retest reliability of SCRS, 50 participants were randomly selected to fill out this scale twice at an interval of two weeks. The Self-Critical Rumination Scale (SCRS), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale - 21 Items (DASS-21, Loviband & Loviband,1995), and the Short form of the self-compassion Scale (SCS-SF, Raes et al., 2011) were used in this study. According to the results of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), 1 factor was identified, which explains 55% of the total variance. The results of criterion validity showed that SCRS had a positive relationship with Depression, Anxiety, and Stress and a negative relationship with self-compassion (P<0.05); which respectively shows the convergent and divergent validity of this tool. According to Cronbach's alpha, results showed the favorable test-retest reliability (0.73) and internal consistency (0.90) of SCRS. Since SCRS exhibited acceptable validity and reliability in a sample of Iranian students, It is suggested that this scale be used to measure self-critical rumination in Iranian students.
