Abstract :This study aimed to investigate compassion and submissive compassion as predictors of psychological well-being. Participants consisted of 252 people, 150 women and 102 men between 18 and 59 years of age. Correlation and hierarchical regression analyses were performed to examine the relationships between compassion, submissive compassion, and psychological well-being. The study found a positive and significant relationship between compassion and psychological well-being, and a negative and significant one between submissive compassion and psychological well-being. The results indicate, on the other hand, that compassion and submissive compassion were significantly negatively correlated. Based on the gender and age variables, compassion and submissive compassion explain 13% of the variance in psychological well-being. The results are discussed based on the literature.Keywords : Compassion, Submissive Compassion, Psychological Well-Being, Happiness, Mental Health.
