The Sussex-Oxford Compassion Scales (SOCS) are recently developed measures of compassion, which have showed support for a five-factor structure for both other-compassion (SOCS-O) and self-compassion (SOCS-S). The study aimed to validate the Swedish translations of both the SOCS-O and the SOCS-S. A sample of adult participants was randomly split into either an exploratory sample (N = 403) or a replication sample (N = 402). The exploratory sample was used for both exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. In the replication sample, we (1) used CFA to validate results from the exploratory sample, (2) assessed measurement invariance for different groups (gender, nationality, age), and (3) evaluated psychometric properties using local fit. Results from both sub-samples support the presence of five-factor models for both SOCS-O (using 19 items) and SOCS-S (using 20 items). For both scales, measurement invariance is supported for all grouping variables, and local psychometric properties indicate good internal consistency with fairly good discriminant and convergent validity. This study supports the five-factor model of both other-compassion and self-compassion, respectively, and shows that the Swedish versions of both SOCS-O and SOCS-S are reliable and valid instruments that can be used to index compassion with general adult populations in Sweden and Finland.
