초록

This study aimed to explore the conceptual factors of self-compassion as perceived by soccer coaches and to develop a Self-Compassion Scale for Soccer Coaches based on these factors. To establish the conceptual structure of self-compassion among soccer coaches, in-depth interviews were conducted with eight coaches affiliated with the Korea Football Association (KFA) in 2025. The results identified three factors: cognitive distancing, optimism, and self-kindness. Based on these findings, a total of 35 preliminary items were developed. Subsequently, a sequential validation process was conducted with 424 soccer coaches affiliated with the Korea Football Association in 2025, including item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability analysis, validity testing, and Rasch item response analysis. As a result, a final scale consisting of 18 items across three factors was developed. The final scale comprised six items for cognitive distancing, six items for optimism, and six items for self-kindness. To examine the validity of the newly developed Self-Compassion Scale for Soccer Coaches, concurrent validity and predictive validity were assessed. concurrent validity was examined using the Korean version of the Self-Compassion Scale developed by Neff (2003) and validated by Kim et al. (2008). The results revealed statistically significant positive correlations across all subfactors. predictive validity was evaluated by examining the relationships between the developed self-compassion scale, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. Statistically significant positive correlations were found in all cases. These findings suggest that the Self-Compassion Scale for Soccer Coaches can serve as a useful assessment tool in soccer settings. Furthermore, it is expected to contribute not only to enhancing coaches’ psychological well-being but also to fostering positive coach-athlete relationships and promoting a healthy sports culture.
