The present study aimed to analyze the internal structure and determine the degree of reliability of the Self-Compassion Scale - Short Form (SCS-SF) in Peruvian adolescents. For this, we had a sample of 365 adolescents with an age range of 12 to 18 years (M = 15.22; SD = 1.29). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis show adequate fit indices in the two-factor model with correlations in items 5,10,11 and 12 (CFI = .92, TLI = .90, RMSEA = 0.062, SRMR = .060). Likewise, the reliability values were acceptable for the dimension self-compassion (α=.71; H=.75) and self-criticism (α=81; H=.83). It is concluded that the SCS-SF is a brief and useful instrument that presents adequate psychometric evidence to measure the degree of understanding and warmth of people with themselves when they experience situations of suffering and failure.
