Self-compassion refers to being kind, understanding, and accepting toward oneself in times of failure, frustration, or negative feelings. Since self-compassion is related to both physical and psychological well-being, measuring and understanding self-compassion in different populations carries importance for their mental well-being and life satisfaction outcomes. One such group is the youth, who experience unique developmental challenges. For this purpose, a Self-Compassion Scale for Youth (SCS-Y) was developed (Neff et al., 2021) and this paper presents its Turkish adaptation. The Turkish translation of SCS-Y was tested on a sample of Turkish youth ( = 450, 61.8% female, = 13.09 ± 1.59, range = 11-15) and was found to have acceptable reliability. The scale showed a similar structure to the original testing on American youth with a bifactor model of a general self-compassion score and six subscale scores, and a two-bifactor model where negative and positive aspects are grouped together. Self-compassion was positively related to resilience and well-being, and negatively related to depression. A serial mediation analysis showed self-compassion to have a direct and positive effect on resilience, and to have an indirect effect on well-being mediated by resilience and depression. Given that the trainable skill of self-compassion is associated with higher resilience, lower depression, and better well-being, the value of this scale and its different adaptations becomes evident, as they enable measuring self-compassion in youth in various populations such as the present Turkish one and guiding the design of future interventions to increase self-compassion, targeted for the specific concerns of the youth.
自我同情是指在遭遇失败、挫折或负面情绪时，对自己友善、理解和接纳。由于自我同情与身心健康都相关，因此在不同人群中测量和理解自我同情对于他们的心理健康和生活满意度结果具有重要意义。青少年就是这样一个群体，他们面临着独特的发展挑战。为此，开发了青少年自我同情量表（SCS-Y）（内夫等人，2021年），本文介绍了该量表的土耳其语改编版。SCS-Y的土耳其语翻译在一组土耳其青少年样本（n = 450，61.8%为女性，M = 13.09 ± 1.59，范围 = 11 - 15）上进行了测试，结果发现具有可接受的信度。该量表显示出与对美国青少年进行的原始测试相似的结构，具有一个总体自我同情得分和六个子量表得分的双因素模型，以及一个将消极和积极方面分组在一起的双双因素模型。自我同情与心理韧性和幸福感呈正相关，与抑郁呈负相关。一项系列中介分析表明，自我同情对心理韧性有直接的积极影响，并通过心理韧性和抑郁对幸福感产生间接影响。鉴于可训练的自我同情技能与更高的心理韧性、更低的抑郁水平和更好的幸福感相关，该量表及其不同改编版的价值变得显而易见，因为它们能够测量不同人群（如当前的土耳其人群）中的青少年的自我同情，并指导未来旨在提高自我同情的干预措施的设计，这些干预措施针对青少年的特定问题。
