Abstract: (26 Views)
Background: Negative beliefs about self-compassion can lead to less motivation, less self-responsibility and more self-indulgence. Current study was done to determine the psychometric properties of Persian version NSCB-S in among overweight people. Materials and Methods: In this study, 207 overweight people (149 women and 58 men) were chosen by purposeful sampling method from June 2025 to September 2025. Data were analysed by Lisrel8.5 and SSPS22. Construct validity was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Convergent and divergent validity of NSCB-S were evaluated by correlating Physical Appearance Perfectionism, Positive and Negative Affect, Self-Compassion, Fear of Compassion and Self-Criticism. Results: The single factor model of NSCB-S approved in Iranian overweight people. Furthermore, NSCB-S was positively correlated with Physical Appearance Perfectionism, Fear of Compassion, Self-Criticism and Negative Affect and negative correlation with Positive Affect and Self-Compassion. In addition, the scale exhibited good internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.93. Conclusions: Results demonstrated that Negative Self- Compassion Beliefs Scale has the proper and acceptable validity and reliability among Iranian overweight people.
