Abstract

Confirmatory factor analysis conducted on the self-compassion scale (SCS) indicated that a six-factor model (self-kindness, self-judgment, common humanity, isolation, mindfulness, over identification) best fit the data. This does not support the 3-factor conceptualization of self-compassion proposed by SCS developers or the derivation of one single self-compassion score from the SCS.
