Abstract
The goal of this investigation was to uncover patterns of co-occurring stigmas among university students and to examine the relationship between stigma, self-compassion, and resilience. The findings indicate that poverty, obesity, and depression are the most frequently co-occurring stigmas. Self-compassion was also found to be significantly related to resilience.
