The purpose of the present study was twofold; firstly, to determine the relationship among self-compassion,
body image, and psychological well-being of university students; and secondly, to determine the role of various
demographics (gender and parental education) in relation to variables of the study. The sample consisted of 123
male and 177 female students from universities in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. We used Self-Compassion Scale
(Neff, 2003), Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire-Appearance Scale (Cash, 2002), and
Affectometer-2 (Naheed, 1997) to measure self-compassion, body image, and psychological well-being,
respectively. Results of the study showed that self-compassion was significantly positively related with
psychological well-being and body-image. Similarly body-image was positively related with psychological
well-being. Self-compassion and body-image significantly predicted the psychological well-being among these
students. Moreover, self-compassion mediated the relationship between body image and psychological wellbeing. Results also revealed significant gender differences on body image; however, non-significant gender
differences were found on self-compassion and psychological well-being. Findings further indicated that
students with higher maternal and paternal education reflected higher self-compassion, better body image, and
elevated levels of psychological well-being.
