Abstract: (174 Views)
The present study aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Social Self-Compassion Scale (SSCS; Rose & Kocovski, 2020) in university students. This study was descriptive-correlational and validation in nature. The convenience sampling method selected 274 undergraduate students of Shahed University between June 22 and July 13, 2024. In addition to SSCS, they completed the short form of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS-SF; Raes et al., 2011), the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation scale (FNES-B; Leary, 1983), the Social Anxiety Inventory (SPIN; Connor et al., 2000), and the Levels of Self-Criticism Scale (LOSC; Thompson & Zuroff, 2004). To examine test-retest reliability, 30 participants completed the SSCS again after 3 weeks. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a favorable fit of a two-factor model of the SSCS. The correlation coefficients of the total score of this scale with the BFNE, SPIN, LOSC, and SCS-SF showed that SSCS has good divergent and concurrent validity. Cronbach's alpha for negative and positive factors and the total score were 0.76, 0.76, and 0.80, respectively. Also, the test-retest reliability was 0.62, 0.70, and 0.87, respectively. In conclusion, the Persian version of the SSCS is a valid and reliable tool for clinical assessment and research purposes.
