Resumen
Background: self-compassion has been correlated with well-being among adults; there are a few
studies on the relationship between self-compassion and psychological well-being in samples of highschool
students. This study aimed to determine the correlation between self-compassion and
psychological well-being. Methodology: Participants were two hundred forty-seven (177 males and
70 females) students from five high schools in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Participants completed
two-scale, including the self-compassion scale (SCS) and Ryff scales of psychological well-being.
Regression was computed to analyze the component of self-compassion predicting psychological
well-being. The t-test also computed analysis to compare the differences between the males and
females in students' psychological well-being. Results: There was a difference between high school
students in the male group and those in the female. More specially, this study elucidated that selfcompassion
was essential in increasing psychological well-being. Discussion and conclusion: The
study provides practical implications for applying self-compassion interventions to improve high
school students’ psychological distress and well-being.
