Objective: The Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) which originally developed by Neff (2003a) is based on the assumption that the self-compassion comprised by self-kindness/self-judgment, common humanity/perceived isolation, and mindfulness/over-identification. This research was aimed to confirm the six- factor structure of SCS.Method: 265 university students entered the research to assess the psychometric properties of SCS. The participants were asked to complete SCS, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Speilberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Ruminative Response Scale and demographic questionnaires. Using Amos-21 and SPSS-21, descriptive statistics, Cronbach’s alpha, Pearson correlation and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were calculated.Results: The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for total SCS items, self-kindness, self-judgment, common humanity, perceived isolation, mindfulness and over- identification subscale were 0.78, 0.79, 0.79, 0.93, 0.90, 0.88 and 0.88 respectively. Results of CFA supported the six-factor structure SCS [RMSEA=0.08 (0.078-0.092), NFI=0.86 and CFI=0.90]. The SCS showed asignificant positive correlation with RSS (r=0.261, P<0.05) and a significant negative correlation with RRS (r=-0.363, P<0.05), BDI–II (r=-0.177, P<0.05) and STAI (r=-0.361, P<0.05).Conclusion: The six-factor structure of SCS demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties in Tehran universities students.

According to Neff (2003a), self-compassion involves &quot;being open to and moved by one's own suffering, experiencing feelings of caring and kindness toward oneself, taking an understanding, nonjudgmental attitude toward one's inadequacies and failures, and recognizing one's experience as a part of the common human experience&quot; (p.
Self-compassion construct typically measured with Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), a 26-item self- report scale that measures six factors that are positive and negative poles of three components of self-compassion just describe (self-kindness/self- judgment, common humanity/perceived isolation, and mindfulness/over-identification).
Additionally, this scale has been shown to have good convergent validity and correlates highly with rating of self-compassion by therapist and romantic partners (Neff, Kirkpatrick, &amp; Rude, 2007).
Different versions of the scale have been tested for reliability and validity in many languages and on average, have been found to be effective (Feather &amp; McKee, 1993; Martin-Albo, Núñez, Navarro, &amp; Grijalvo, 2007; Mimura &amp; Griffiths, 2007; Pullmann &amp; Allik, 2000).
These data support the reliability and concurrent validity of the Persian BDI-II as a measure of depressive symptoms in nonclinical samples (Ghassemzadeh, Mojtabai, Karamghadiri, &amp; Ebrahimkhani, 2005).
