Although self-compassion has been consistently linked to positive outcomes in adults and adolescents, only a few studies have explored self-compassion in children and early adolescents due to a lack of measures specifically designed for younger populations.
The current study explored the psychometric properties of the Italian translation of the Self-Compassion Scale for Children (SCS-C) in a sample of 230 children (mean age = 10.52, SD = 1.33).
The results revealed a two-factor solution for our data, with a positive self-compassion factor and a negative self-compassion factor, which were shown to be internally consistent. The SCS-C scores correlated with the children's mindfulness, self-esteem, and narcissistic traits in the assumed directions.
Overall, our study preliminarily supports the reliability and validity of the Italian version of the SCS-C.
尽管自我同情一直与成年人和青少年的积极结果相关联，但由于缺乏专门为较年轻人群设计的测量方法，仅有少数研究探讨了儿童和青少年早期的自我同情。
本研究在230名儿童样本（平均年龄 = 10.52，标准差 = 1.33）中探索了儿童自我同情量表（SCS-C）意大利语翻译版的心理测量特性。
结果显示我们的数据有一个两因素解决方案，即积极自我同情因素和消极自我同情因素，且这两个因素内部一致。SCS-C得分与儿童的正念、自尊和自恋特质在预期方向上相关。
总体而言，我们的研究初步支持了SCS-C意大利语版本的可靠性和有效性。
