摘要

Research conducted in Western countries has established the State Self-Compassion Scale–Long Form (SSCS-L) as a valid tool for assessing compassionate responses to acute stress. This study aimed to validate the Persian version of the SSCS-L and extend prior evidence by evaluating its psychometric properties in the Iranian–Islamic context. In Study 1, which focused on the validation of the Persian SSCS-L, 218 Iranian adults (37% male, 63% female) completed the SSCS-L. Exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) and bifactor ESEM supported a model with one general factor and six specific subscales. The positive dimensions of the SSCS-L showed significant positive correlations with positive affect and mindfulness, and negative correlations with depression, anxiety, and stress (all p < 0.01), whereas the negative dimensions displayed the reverse pattern. These findings provide strong evidence for the concurrent validity of the SSCS-L, as its subscales were meaningfully associated with relevant psychological constructs. In Study 2, which assessed the responsiveness of the Persian SSCS-L, a sample of 30 nurses participated in a compassion- and mindfulness-based group intervention. The increase in state self-compassion (SSCS-L) was significantly greater than that of trait self-compassion (SCS-T), with a Δ = 13.9%, underscoring the high sensitivity of the SSCS-L to change. Coordinated improvements across subscales further support the conceptualization of self-compassion as a dynamic and integrated system. Overall, these results confirm the factor structure of the SSCS-L in a new cultural setting and provide robust evidence for its construct validity, reliability, and practical utility among Iranian samples.
