Research has shown a negative association between self\u2010compassion and mental illness, and that low self\u2010compassion can make psychotherapeutic effects less likely. The ability to measure a patient's self\u2010compassion in a fast and reliable way is therefore important in investigating effects of psychotherapies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Self\u2010Compassion Scale\u2013Short Form (SCS\u2010SF) in both non\u2010clinical (NC) and clinical samples.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cross\u2010sectional data were gathered in a NC community sample (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091,089), an eating disorder (ED) sample (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009253) and a borderline personality disorder (BPD) sample (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009151). All participants were asked to complete a number of questionnaires, including the SCS\u2010SF, and 121 participants in the NC sample repeated the assessment after 2\u2009weeks for test\u2013retest analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Confirmatory factor analyses supported the first\u2010order model suggested in previous research. Good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha\u2009=\u20090.78\u20130.87) and test\u2013retest reliability (intra\u2010class correlation\u2009=\u20090.84) were demonstrated for the entire scale. Results also showed good convergent validity, demonstrating moderate negative associations between self\u2010compassion and mental illnesses, as expected, and acceptable divergent validity, demonstrating weak positive associations between self\u2010compassion and quality of life and mindfulness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The correlations between the SCS\u2010SF and the instruments used for validation were weaker in the clinical samples than the NC sample. This may be due to difficulties measuring these constructs or that the associations differ somewhat between different populations, which could warrant further research. The results added some support to the assumption that self\u2010compassion may overlap with mindfulness yet still represents a distinct construct.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Analyses of the SCS\u2010SF provided evidence of adequate to good psychometric properties, supporting use of the scale's total sum score and a first\u2010order factor structure. This is in accordance with previous evaluations of the SCS\u2010SF, suggesting that it is a reliable and time\u2010efficient instrument for measuring a general level of self\u2010compassion. This may be important when evaluating psychotherapy and investigating self\u2010compassion and its influence on psychiatric illness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cpp.2830","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,17]],"date-time":"2023-01-17T14:54:51Z","timestamp":1673967291000},"page":"631-642","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["The Self\u2010Compassion Scale\u2013Short Form: Psychometric evaluation in one non\u2010clinical and two clinical Swedish samples"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Sven","family":"Alfonsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Psychiatry Research, Department of Clinical Neuroscience Karolinska Institutet &amp; Stockholm Health Care Services, Stockholm County Council  Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ebba","family":"Winai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychiatry Northwest Region Stockholm  Sollentuna Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emelie","family":"Collin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Sciences Uppsala University  Uppsala Sweden"},{"name":"The Eating Disorder Unit for Adults Uppsala University Hospital  Uppsala Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martina","family":"Isaksson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Sciences Uppsala University  Uppsala Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martina","family":"Wolf\u2010Arehult","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Psychiatry Research, Department of Clinical Neuroscience Karolinska Institutet &amp; Stockholm Health Care Services, Stockholm County Council  Stockholm Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Medical Sciences Uppsala University  Uppsala Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40596-019-01095-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1073191104268029"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5861\/ijrsp.2013.551"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10862-015-9514-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000173701"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13607863.2019.1569588"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17405629.2021.1981283"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.22187"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2020.01683"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cpp.1974"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jts.22045"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"The eating disorder examination","volume":"6","author":"Fairburn C.
