Abstract
The present study explored the relationship between self-compassion as predictor of stress, and coping strategies
in undergraduate students. Data of 234 undergraduate students were selected from Karachi, Pakistan. It was
hypothesized self-compassion would be a predictor of perceived level of stress and coping strategies and there
will be a significant difference in levels of self-compassion, levels of perceived stress and coping strategies
between male and female undergraduate students. Convenience sampling was used to collect data. The
participants gave demographic information and filled the Self-Compassion Scale - short form (SCS-SF),
Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) and Brief COPE scale. Correlation, Regression, Independent Sample t-Test
and ANOVA were used for analysis of results. Results verified that self-compassion is related to coping strategies
and there is a difference in levels of self-compassion between boys and girls. Implications of the study are
discussed.
