| Abstract |
High levels of loneliness have emerged as a common experience worldwide, adversely affecting both physical and mental health. Psychological well-being is the realization of one’s potential through positive functioning. Self-compassion means being kind, mindful, and understanding toward oneself, which may buffer the negative effects of loneliness. However, studies in Malaysia remain limited, particularly regarding the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between loneliness and psychological well-being. Self- compassion plays a crucial role in enhancing psychosocial health among Malaysians. Integrating self-compassion-based interventions into culturally relevant mental health programs may strengthen emotional resilience and improve overall psychological well-being in the community. |
