Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-compassion and subjective happiness and the relationship between self-compassion and life satisfaction. Participants were composed of 252 undergraduate students in Bursa, Turkey. Self-compassion Scale, Subjective Happiness Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale were used as data collection instruments. Correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between self-compassion, subjective happiness and life satisfaction. The hypothesis model was tested through structural equation modeling. Results of correlation analysis showed that self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness were positively, self-judgment and isolation were negatively related to subjective happiness and life satisfaction. While over-identification was negatively associated with subjective happiness, there was no correlation between over-identification and life satisfaction. The model fitted well (χ2/df=1, GFI=.99, CFI=1, NFI=.99, AGFI=.98, SRMR=.00, RMSEA=.00). According to path analysis results, subjective happiness and life satisfaction were predicted positively by common humanity, and mindfulness. Moreover, subjective happiness and life satisfaction were predicted negatively by self-judgment, isolation, and over-identification.
