Abstract

The major goal of current research was to examine the relationship among self-compassion, acceptance and psychological well-being. For the purpose, this study hypothesized that acceptance mediates the relationship between self-compassion and psychological well-being, selected full mediation model as a competition model, and estimated fit indices of partial mediation model. To investigate this relationship, three questionnaires were administerd to a sample of 222 university students(male=110, female=112), using K-SCS, K-AAQ-Ⅱ and K-PWBS. As a result, fit indices of research model was better than competition model, and both direct and indirect paths in general model were significant. This results showed that self-compassion influences not only psychological well-being through increased acceptance indirectly but also does directly. Application for therapeutic intervention based on the model was suggested and implications for future studies were discussed.
