SOUZA, Luciana Karine de  e  HUTZ, Claudio Simon. Adaptation of the self-compassion scale for use in Brazil: evidences of construct validity. Temas psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.24, n.1, pp. 159-172. ISSN 1413-389X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.9788/TP2016.1-11.

This study reports evidences of adaptation, construct validation, and reliability of the Self-Compassion Scale for use in Brazil. Self-compassion is a positive healthy attitude towards the self when facing suffering and difficulties. It encompasses self-kindness instead of self-judgment, mindfulness instead of over-identification, and common humanity instead of social isolation. A confirmatory factor analysis endorsed the six-factor structure (six subscales) of the original scale; adequate polychoric correlations were identified among subscales; a higher-order factor was confirmed via hierarchical model analysis; and internal consistency was .92. The scale is ready for application on Brazilian samples in continuing validation studies, for example, with available measures of social desirability, self-esteem, depression, and anxiety, as well as with similar constructs, such as self-acceptance, mindfulness, emotional self-regulation, and self-judgment.

Palavras-chave : Self-compassion; adaptation; validity.
