Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study investigated the reliability and validity of the Korean Self-Compassion Scale in a sample of 405 adult women in a community.
Methods: We examined the sample using the Korean version of the Self-Compassion Scale (K-SCS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), SCL-90-R, and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) and conducted a confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analysis.
Results: Confirmatory factor analysis results showed that a six-factor model, consisting of Self-Kindness, Self-Judgment. Common Humanity, Isolation, Mindfulness, and Over-identified, fit better than a three-factor model did. The validity analysis results indicated that self-compassion was significantly correlated with positive mental health outcomes, such as less depression and anxiety and greater psychological well-being.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that the Korean version of the Self-Compassion Scale is a reliable and valid scale for measuring self-compassion. We also discuss the implications of this study and directions for future study.
