Previous research developed psychometric tools such as the Self-Compassion Scale assessing self-compassion, but it is has long been known that short versions of psychometric tools may be particularly useful in settings where time constraints make the use of the long form less feasible. Existing literature shows that the Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF) was developed in order to overcome these limitations. We validated the Italian version of the SCS-SF examining the factor structure and psychometric properties of the SCS-SF. We investigated its internal consistency and test-retest reliability, and demonstrated convergent and discriminant validity. We recruited a relatively large Italian non clinical sample (n = 321). We found that the scale retained a one-factor structure. We calculated Spearman correlation in order to assess convergent and discriminant validity. In order to assess reliability, retest coefficient was calculated as the Spearman correlation of observed scores at times 1 and 2 (after 3 weeks). In addition, the two-part Cronbach's alpha, the Spearman-Brown coefficient, and the Guttman's Lambda 4 coefficient were estimated as a further reliability measure using the split-half approach. The SCS-SF showed sound psychometric properties and good convergent and discriminant validity. Finally, the SCS-SF showed good test–retest reliability. The use of the SCS-SF is promoted in settings in which the assessment of a positive attitude toward oneself is of interest and with patients that may benefit from developing a compassionate self.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74595,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry research communications","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100209"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143609933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, there is a need to investigate the risk factors associated with food addiction. The current study examined if emotion dysregulation mediated the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and food addiction and whether affective impulsivity (negative and positive urgency) uniquely moderated this relationship. Participants (<em>N</em> = 602) recruited from a large university completed an online survey consisting of several self-report measures, including symptoms of food addiction, childhood adversity, emotion dysregulation and affective impulsivity. A total of 6.5% of the participants met the cut-off for mild (<em>n</em> = 39) levels of food addiction, 3.8% met the cut-off for moderate (<em>n</em> = 23), and 5.0% met the cut-off for severe (<em>n</em> = 30) food addiction. Logistic regression results demonstrated that physical neglect, emotional abuse, physical abuse and household substance use were significant predictors of whether someone met the criteria for food addiction. Moderated mediation results indicated that adverse childhood experiences were positively associated with emotion dysregulation, affective impulsivity, and food addiction. However, contrary to our hypothesis we did not find significant moderated-mediation between emotion dysregulation, food addiction and affective impulsivity. The findings may carry implications for preventing and treating food addiction among university students with adverse childhood experiences.
