dc.description.abstractSelf-compassion, drawn from Buddhist teachings, was presented as a new positive psychology concept. It consists of six factors: self-kindness, self-judgment, common humanity, isolation, mindfulness, and over-identification. Studies have indicated a variation in the relationship between the six components of self-compassion and life satisfaction across cultures. The present study investigated the relationship between the six elements of self-compassion and life satisfaction among university students in Lebanon, controlling for self-esteem. The study method consisted of a survey. A hundred and thirty university students completed a questionnaire which included demographic data, the satisfaction with life scale, the self-compassion scale and self-esteem scale. Findings indicated a positive correlation with life satisfaction for self-kindness, mindfulness and overall self-compassion, and a negative correlation with life satisfaction for isolation and over-identification. Gender differences were identified. Mindfulness predicted life satisfaction in males. Over-identification predicted life satisfaction in females. However, future studies are needed to confirm those results.
