Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 207
graduate students of Isfahan University. In this study, the self-compassion
scale and the deterministic thinking questionnaires were used as the research
device. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple
linear regressions.
Results: The results of this
study showed that there is a negative relationship between self-kindness,
common humanity, and mindfulness subscales and all deterministic thinking
subscales (total deterministic thinking, deterministic thinking in
interactions, philosophic absolute thinking, deterministic thinking in future predicting
and negative events and self-judgement, isolation, and over-identification
factors of self-compassion have positive correlation to all deterministic
thinking subscales. Also, the multiple linear regression results showed that
deterministic thinking subscales
up to %27 and total deterministic thinking up to %22 affect on explaining
self-compassion.
Conclusion: The results showed that the higher level of
deterministic thinking cause the lower self-compassion and deterministic
thinking cognitive distortion should be amended for increasing self-compassion.
