Abstract :The purpose of this study was to test the theoretical model which had been developed for the intermediary role of parental attitude in the relationship between university students’ self-compassion and and interpersonal (social) competence. This research designed in correlational survey model, one of quantitative research models. The sample of the research consisted of 522 participants (344 females and 178 males) aged between 18 and 33 and studying at Çukurova University. Parental Attitude Scale, Interpersonal Competence Scale and Self-Compassion Scale were used as the data collection tools. In the research, the theoretical model was tested through Structural Equation Model. It was found that fit indices of the model were good and the obtained coefficients were statistically significant. It was also found that the structural model which was built for the intermediary role of the parental attitude variable in the relationship between the variables of self-compassion and interpersonal competence had good fit and it was seen that democratic parental attitude played a partial intermediary role in the model. As a result, it was determined that the democratic parental attitude that the students perceived had a partial intermediary role in the relationship between the students’ self-compassion and interpersonal competence.
