Resumen
La autocompasión es la capacidad de estar en contacto con el propio sufrimiento abriéndose a la experiencia y generando la motivación de aliviarlo por medio de una actitud bondadosa, libre de prejuicios, y entendiendo las experiencias dolorosas como un fenómeno común a la existencia humana. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Autocompasión en población mexicana. La muestra estuvo conformada por 343 participantes, seleccionados por un método no probabilístico, cuyo único requisito fue tener nacionalidad mexicana. El análisis de los datos mostró una buena confiabilidad del instrumento, así como índices de bondad de ajuste adecuados para dicha escala, confirmando una estructura de seis factores y un elemento de orden superior. Se concluye que es un método adecuado para evaluar el mencionado constructo en México.
