<![CDATA[This study aimed to examine the construct validity and reliability of the Self-Compassion Scale among adolescents from broken home families. Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), the measurement model revealed two major factors that represent self-kindness versus self-judgment and mindfulness versus over-identification. The results indicated that all items showed significant and strong factor loadings (p < .001), demonstrating high internal consistency across subscales (Cronbach’s α ranging from .914 to .917). The goodness-of-fit indices also supported the adequacy of the model (CFI = .969, RMSEA = .048, GFI = .979). These findings suggest that the scale has strong psychometric properties and can be effectively used to assess self-compassion in adolescents experiencing family disruption. The study further revealed that self-compassion plays a vital role in enhancing emotional resilience and reducing self-critical tendencies among broken home adolescents. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of developing intervention programs that foster mindfulness, self-kindness, and acceptance as protective factors against psychological distress.]]>
