The aim of this study was to investigate interpersonal problem solving in terms of self-compassion and personality traits. The participants were 570 (274 females and 296 males) who participated in the research voluntarily. The mean age of the participants was 21.54 years (between 17-32 years old) with a standard deviation of 2.68 years. Data were collected using Interpersonal Problem Solving Inventory, Adjective Based Personality Scale, Self-compassion Scale and personal information form. To analyze the data, Pearson conduct moment correlations, and multiple hierarchical regression analysis technique were used. As a result of the study, it was found that there was a significant negative relationship between approaching problems in a negative way and self-compassion, extraversion, openness to experiences, agreeableness and responsibility. It was found that there was a significant negative relationship between lack of self-confidence and self-compassion, extraversion, openness to experiences, agreeableness and responsibility. It was found that there was a significant negative relationship between unwillingness to take responsibility and self-compassion, extraversion, openness to experiences, agreeableness and responsibility. Also it was found that there was a positive relationship between constructive problem solving and self-compassion, extraversion, openness to experiences, agreeableness and responsibility. Besides, it was found that some approaches of selfcompassion and some approaches of personality traits significantly explain interpersonal problem solving.

“…One important Buddhist concept that is little known in Western psychological circles, but that is relevant to those interested in self-concepts and self-attitudes, is the construct of self-compassion (Bennett-Goleman, 2001;Brown, 1999;Hahn, 1997;Kornfield, 1993;as cited in Neff, 2003b). The term "self-compassion" is derived from the word "compassion", since compassion involves being sensitive to others' suffering, being aware of their grief, having a desire to ease their suffering, and having nonjudgmental understanding for people making mistakes (Deniz, Kesici, & Sümer, 2008). In the West, compassion is usually conceptualized as empathy in terms of compassion for others, but in Buddhist psychology, it is believed that it is as essential to feel compassion for oneself as it is for others.…”

“…Öveç, Akın, and Abacı (2007) found a six-factor solution in their adaptation study of the SCS for the Turkish culture (as cited in Deniz, Kesici, & Sumer, 2008). Deniz, Kesici, and Sümer (2008) translated the SCS into Turkish version, and found the SCS with five-factor structure. Azizi et al (2013) developed the Iranian version of SCS with six-factor structure, which is consistent with the scale of Neff's (2003a).…”

The purpose of this study was to construct and evaluate the factor structure and psychometric properties of a Chinese version of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS;Neff, 2003a). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with a selected sample of 384 junior high school students revealed a 4-factor structure in the revised 25-item scale. A total of 701 gifted students in the junior high school enrolled into the validation study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the same four-factor structure and acceptable composite reliability with some modifications. This study supported the usefulness of the Chinese SCS as a tool to understand the psychological characteristics of gifted students in Taiwan with modification according to Chinese culture.

“…Katılımcıların "Öz-merhamet Ölçeğinden aldıkları puanların ortalama ve standart sapma değerleri göz önünde bulundurularak düşük, orta ve yüksek olarak belirlenmiştir. Buna göre 65'in altındaki puanlar düşük, 66-90 arasındaki puanlar orta ve 91'in üstünde yer alan puanlar ise yüksek öz-merhamet düzeyleri olarak adlandırılmıştır (Deniz, 2008). Buna göre katılımcıların bu araştırmadan öz-merhamet ölçeğinden aldıkları puanların ortalaması 76.85'dir.…”

ÖzAnne-çocuk arasındaki ilk iletişimde gelişen temel güven duygusu sağlıklı bir bireyi meydana getiren önemli unsurların başında gelir. Bu temel üzerinden gelişen öz-güven ise psikolojik sağlığın önemli bir göstergesi olarak tanımlanır. Fakat son dönemde yapılan araştırmalar öz-güvene yönelik farklı kavramsallaştırmalara dikkat çekmektedir. Bu kavramsallaştırmalardan bir tanesinde öz-merhamet yaklaşımıdır. Öz merhamet kişinin kendine karşı nazik, sevecen ve duyarlı davranmasına kısaca anlayış göstermesine olanak sağlayan alternatif bir bakış açısıdır. Dolayısıyla bu araştırmada öz-güvenin neliğinin kendi içerisinde tekrar okunması gereken bir işleve sahip olduğu, buna yönelik alternatif bir bakış açısının olabilirliği uygulamalı bir araştırma ile desteklenmiştir. Buna göre öz-güven ve öz-merhametin psikolojik sağlıkla pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki içerisinde olduğu (p<,001) mevcut literatürü desteklemekte hatta öz-merhametin öz-güvene göre daha yüksek düzeyde ilişkisi dikkati çekmektedir. Ayrıca cinsiyete göre erkeklerin öz-merhamet düzeylerinin bayanlardan daha yüksek olduğu, fakat öz-güven açısından farklılaşmadığı görülmüştür. Bu sonuç, öz-merhametin psikolojik sağlık açısından işlevsel olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermesi açısından dikkat çekicidir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Öz-güven; Öz-merhamet; Psikolojik Sağlık; Psikolojik İyilik. AbstractCore attachment security which is developed from the mother-child relationship is essential for a psychologically healthy people. Self-esteem developmentally based on attachment security is an accepted, important indicator of psychological health. Recent studies draw attention to different conceptualizations towards self-esteem. Self-compassion which is one of these approaches provides an alternative point of view towards a gently, caring and sensitive behavior to oneself, that is, constructing an understanding attitude of oneself. Therefore, this study, based upon field-research, emphasizes that self-compassion is a concept that needs to be re-evaluated and it also shows that alternative approaches to self-compassion are possible. According to this study, self-esteem and self-compassion have a positive relationship with psychological health (p<.001). This result supports the existing literature, and further, it puts more emphasis upon self-compassion than self-esteem. Also, this study reflects that, in terms of gender, males are more self-compassionate than females but have less self-esteem. Finally, this study shows that self-compassion can be used be used functionally in terms of psychological health.Keywords: Self-esteem; Self-compassion; Psychological Health, Psychological Well-being.'Öz-güven her zaman iyi hissetmek değildir.
