The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between
self compassion and value preferences of university students with regard to gender
and grade variables. The relational survey method was administered in this
study. The sample of this study consists of totally 534 students, 398 female and
145 male, attending various departments in Ahmet Keleşoğlu Education Faculty
at Selcuk University. Schwartz Value Survey (SVS) (1992) and Neff’s selfcompassion
scale (2003), adopted by Deniz, Kesici and Sümer (2008), were
conducted to the participants. The Turkish version of Schwartz Value Survey
(SVS) was adapted by Kuşdil and Kağıtçıbaşı (2000). The internal consistency
of the scale was 0.51 and 0.77, respectively.
The relationships between self-compassion and value preferences levels of
university students were calculated by Pearson product-moment correlations
coefficient. Also, t-test and variance analysis have been used to account for the
gender and grade variables.
Results indicated that the scores of the self compassion of university students
was found to significantly and positively correlated with achievement,
hedonism, self-direction, stimulation, universalism, benevolence, conformity
and security sub-dimensions of Schwartz Value Survey (SVS).The findings
of the study was also revealed that all sub-dimensions of the Schwartz Value
Survey (SVS) was significantly differentiate with regard to gender variable. Hedonism,
self direction, benevolence, conformity and security sub-dimensions of
the Schwartz Value Survey (SVS) were significantly differentiate with regard to
gender. Hedonism sub-dimension scores of the males were higher than females
whereas other sub-dimensions scores of the females were higher than the males.
It was also founded that there was no significant differentiation between self
compassion and gender variable. Findings of the study showed that self direction,
universalism, benevolence and security sub dimensions scores of the
Schwartz Value Survey (SVS) were significantly differentiate with regard to
grade level variable. The average scores of the third grade students were higher
than first grade students.
This study is more important for its aim, issue and sample rather than the others.
Values arise as a criterion of one’s thought attitude and behavior and create
an integral component of social integrality. Every issue in a society are perceived
and evaluated in terms of values. Individuals internalize the society’s cultural
values and use them as criteria for their judgments and choices. Findings
of some studies support the results of this study. It is also thought that results of
this study will contribute the studies on counseling, science and social fields and
classroom management about the value preferences of teachers. For the further
studies, focusing on different regions in terms of age and social characteristics
is recommended.
