Abstract

Background: Although self-compassion has been consistently linked to positive outcomes in adults and adolescents, only a few studies have explored self-compassion in children and early adolescents due to a lack of measures specifically designed for younger populations.

Methods: The current study explored the psychometric properties of the Italian translation of the Self-Compassion Scale for Children (SCS-C) in a sample of 230 children (mean age = 10.52, SD = 1.33).

Results: The results revealed a two-factor solution for our data, with a positive self-compassion factor and a negative self-compassion factor, which were shown to be internally consistent. The SCS-C scores correlated with the children's mindfulness, self-esteem, and narcissistic traits in the assumed directions.

Conclusions: Overall, our study preliminarily supports the reliability and validity of the Italian version of the SCS-C.

8-12岁儿童自我同情量表简表：意大利语版的验证。

背景：虽然自我同情一直与成年人和青少年的积极结果有关，但由于缺乏专门为年轻人设计的措施，只有少数研究探讨了儿童和早期青少年的自我同情。方法：本研究对230名儿童（平均年龄10.52岁，SD = 1.33）的《儿童自我同情量表》（SCS-C）意大利语译本的心理测量特征进行了研究。结果：研究结果显示，我们的数据具有双因素解决方案，积极的自我同情因素和消极的自我同情因素具有内在一致性。在假设的方向上，SCS-C得分与儿童的正念、自尊和自恋特征相关。结论：总体而言，本研究初步支持意大利语版SCS-C的信度和效度。

期刊介绍： Children is an international, open access journal dedicated to a streamlined, yet scientifically rigorous, dissemination of peer-reviewed science related to childhood health and disease in developed and developing countries. The publication focuses on sharing clinical, epidemiological and translational science relevant to children’s health. Moreover, the primary goals of the publication are to highlight under‑represented pediatric disciplines, to emphasize interdisciplinary research and to disseminate advances in knowledge in global child health. In addition to original research, the journal publishes expert editorials and commentaries, clinical case reports, and insightful communications reflecting the latest developments in pediatric medicine. By publishing meritorious articles as soon as the editorial review process is completed, rather than at predefined intervals, Children also permits rapid open access sharing of new information, allowing us to reach the broadest audience in the most expedient fashion.
