(The Self-Compassion Scale ā Short Form, SCS-SF)
Are you kind to yourself, and accepting of your personality? Self-compassion relates to your ability to āhold oneās suffering with a sense of warmth, connection and concern (Neff, 2003). This ability consists of self-kindness, self-judgement, the view that others suffer too (common humanity), feelings of isolation from others when one fails, as well as mindfulness towards oneās difficult situation and the extent to which one over-identifies with failure. This 12-item measure assesses your self-compassion ability. Simply answer each statement from āalmost neverā to āalmost alwaysā to indicate the extent to which you engage in these behaviours during difficult times of challenge and setbacks.
