Abstract: (318 Views)
Background and Objective: Negative beliefs about self-compassion can lead to less motivation, less self-responsibility, and more self-indulgence. The present study was conducted to determine the psychometric properties of Persian version of Negative Self-Compassion Beliefs Scale (NSCB-S) among overweight people.
Materials and Methods: A total of 207 overweight people (149 women and 58 men) were selected through purposeful sampling method from June 2025 to September 2025. Data were analysed by Lisrel 8.5 and SSPS (version 22). Construct validity was assessed via confirmatory factor analysis. Convergent and divergent validity of the NSCB-S were evaluated using correlating Physical Appearance Perfectionism, Positive and Negative Affect, Self-Compassion, Fear of Compassion, and Self-Criticism.
Results: The single factor model of NSCB-S was approved among Iranian overweight people. Furthermore, the NSCB-S was positively correlated with Physical Appearance Perfectionism, Fear of Compassion, Self-Criticism and Negative Affect, and negatively correlated 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 the NSCB-S has proper and acceptable validity and reliability among Iranian overweight people.
