The original 26-item Self-Compassion Scale (SCS; Neff, 2003) and 12-item Short-Form Self-Compassion Scale (SF-SCS; Raes et al., 2011) are scales commonly used in cross-sectional and longitudinal research to assess the global self-compassion construct and its six facets. We introduce the Single-Item Self-Compassion Scale (SISC; ‘I have high self-compassion’) to measure the global self-compassion construct in time-, space- and resource-limited contexts (e.g., daily diaries, experience sampling and nationally representative surveys). Additionally, the SISC will expand knowledge about self-compassion by providing researchers whose primary interest is not self-compassion with a convenient, face-valid option to measure self-compassion. Across 10 samples (four cross-sectional, four longitudinal and two 7-day daily diary; N = 2,477), we demonstrated that the SISC has acceptable psychometric properties. Specifically, the SISC was temporally consistent, correlated adequately with the SCS and SF-SCS, exhibited nearly identical correlational patterns when compared with the SCS and SF-SCS with a wide range of criterion measures (e.g., self-esteem, personality, affective and social functioning, mental health and demographic variables) and saved 12 min over a 7-day diary. Results replicated among students, community samples and across the United States, Turkey and Malaysia. Thus, we provide the field with an alternative measure of the global self-compassion construct that complements the SCS and SF-SCS.

“我有很高的自我同情心”：资源有限研究背景下的面部有效单项自我同情量表

最初的 26 项自我同情量表 (SCS; Neff, 2003) 和 12 项简短自我同情量表 (SF-SCS; Raes et al., 2011) 是横断面和纵向研究中常用的量表评估全球自我同情结构及其六个方面。我们引入了单项自我同情量表（SISC；“我有高度的自我同情”）来衡量在时间、空间和资源有限的情况下（例如，每日日记、经验抽样和具有全国代表性的调查）。此外，SISC 将通过为主要兴趣不是自我同情的研究人员提供一个方便、有效的选项来衡量自我同情，从而扩展关于自我同情的知识。跨越 10 个样本（四个横断面、四个纵向和两个 7 天日记；N = 2,477），我们证明 SISC 具有可接受的心理测量特性。具体来说，SISC 在时间上是一致的，与 SCS 和 SF-SCS 充分相关，与 SCS 和 SF-SCS 相比，具有广泛的标准测量（例如，自尊、个性、情感和社会功能、心理健康和人口统计变量）并在 7 天的日记中节省了 12 分钟。结果在学生、社区样本以及美国、土耳其和马来西亚都得到了复制。因此，我们为该领域提供了一种补充 SCS 和 SF-SCS 的全球自我同情结构的替代措施。
