Abstract
This study conducted with the aim of designing, developing, and investigating the psychometric characteristics of a Self-Compassion Questionnaire based on an Islamic model. The goal to be obtained, initially, by referring to the previously established Islamic model of self-compassion, whose components had been extracted from Islamic sources, the classification of its components and subcomponents—with minor modifications—served as the foundation of the study, and a 109-item questionnaire was designed. To determine content validity, the opinions of 10 experts were used, and the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI) were calculated. After confirming the content validity, and in order to examine the psychometric characteristics and perform factor analysis of the questionnaire, 243 seminary students and university students from the 1401-1402 academic year were selected via convenience sampling. To assess convergent validity, the Neff Self-Compassion Scale and the Ryff Psychological Well-being Scale were also completed by the participants. The results of the exploratory factor analysis revealed that the Islamic Self-Compassion Questionnaire consists of 6 factors, which were named respectively: Spiritual Compassion, Emotional Regulation, Physical Compassion, Purposeful Self-Awareness, Caring, and God-Consciousness. These six components collectively account for 42.523% of the total variance of the questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was obtained as 0.938 and 0.904 in the pilot and final stages, respectively, and the split-half reliability correlation was 0.602.
