Abstract
The study looked at the relationship between self-compassion and positive mental health of undergraduate students of the Royal University of Bhutan. The sample consisted of students of Gedu College of Business Studies, College of Science and Technology, Samtse College, Norbuling Rigter College, Royal Thimphu College, Paro College of Education, College of Language and Cultural Studies, Sherubtse College, in Bhutan, between July 2020 and June 2021. 321 undergraduate students (184 females, 137 males) aged 17 to 40 took part in the study. Between male and female students, there was no significant difference in overall mental health scores. The percentage of female students languishing was higher compared to male students. Participants demonstrated a moderate level of self-compassion. The male students were significantly more self-compassionate than the females. The students' positive mental health was substantially connected with their self-compassion. Self-components compassion's of self-kindness, mindfulness, common humanity, self-judgment, and isolation were found to be significantly positively connected with positive mental health. Mindfulness, self-kindness, and self-judgment all strongly predicted positive mental health, according to regression data. Mindfulness, the regressor, has the strongest link to good mental health. Enhancing mindfulness is a promising positive strategy for improving positive mental health and lowering students' future risk of mental illness.
