Abstract

Background: The concept of fear of compassion draws the interest of researchers in both clinical and scientific fields. The Fears of Compassion Scale (FCS) was developed in order to examine the fear of compassion for others, compassion from others and compassion for one's self. This study aims to adapt the FCS into the Turkish language. The Satisfaction with Life Scale and the Self-Compassion Scale were used to assess the criterion-related validity of the FCS.

Participants and procedure: In order to determine the construct validity of the scale, validity and reliability studies and factor analysis were carried out on 681 participants (M_age = 32.00, SD = 10.15; 64% female and 36% male).

Results: The results of the confirmatory factor analysis yielded the expected 3-factor solution (the fear of compassion for others, the fear of compassion from others and the fear of self-compassion), which consists of 35 items. The internal consistency validity coefficient of the whole scale was .92. Moreover, there were significant negative relationships between the Fears of Compassion Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale and Self-Compassion Scale, which are similar to those of the original scale.

Conclusions: These significant findings reveal the Turkish adaptation of the FCS to be a valid and reliable measurement tool.

同情恐惧量表在土耳其语中的适应性:信度和效度研究

同情恐惧的概念引起了临床和科学领域研究人员的兴趣。同情恐惧量表(FCS)的开发是为了检查对他人同情的恐惧，来自他人的同情和对自己的同情。本研究旨在将FCS改编为土耳其语。采用生活满意度量表和自我同情量表评估FCS的标准相关效度。

期刊介绍： The FASEB Journal publishes international, transdisciplinary research covering all fields of biology at every level of organization: atomic, molecular, cell, tissue, organ, organismic and population. While the journal strives to include research that cuts across the biological sciences, it also considers submissions that lie within one field, but may have implications for other fields as well. The journal seeks to publish basic and translational research, but also welcomes reports of pre-clinical and early clinical research. In addition to research, review, and hypothesis submissions, The FASEB Journal also seeks perspectives, commentaries, book reviews, and similar content related to the life sciences in its Up Front section.
