Abstract

This study aimed to explore the initial psychometric properties of a Thai version of the Levels of Self-Criticism Scale (T-LOSC) . T-LOSC was translated from the Levels of Self-Criticism Scale ( Thompson & Zuroff, 2004) . Participants were 115 Thai novice psychologists. Reliability and initial construct validity were tested. Cronbach’ s alpha coefficients were computed to examine the scale’s reliability. The findings revealed that T-LOSC yielded two components ( internalized self-criticism and comparative self-criticism) . Most of the items loaded significantly onto their respective factors (loading factors ranged from .389 to .854) . The T-LOSC demonstrated good reliability with Cronbach's alpha of .914 for the total scale and . 909 and . 759 for each component. The reliability and validity of this scale make it a useful brief measure of self-criticism in Thai psychologists.
