Self Compassion Scale

The Self-Compassion Scale – Short Form (SCS-SF) is a concise 12-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure self-compassion. Developed by Kristin Neff, it assesses six components: Self-Kindness, Self-Judgment, Common Humanity, Isolation, Mindfulness, and Over-Identification. Respondents rate each item on a 5-point scale, with higher scores reflecting greater self-compassion. Widely used in research and clinical settings, the SCS-SF provides an efficient way to evaluate and monitor self-compassion, supporting interventions and personal growth.
