ABSTRACT

This study examined the relationship between perceived social support, self-compassion, and psychological well-being of police officers in Kerala. The sample included 489 police officers from the rank of civil police officers to inspector of police. The self- compassion scale by Neff (2003), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet, et al ,1988), and the psychological well-being scale by Mehrotra etal (2013) were used to measure self-compassion, perceived social support, and psychological well-being, respectively. The Pearson correlation method was used to determine the correlation between self-compassion, perceived social support, and psychological well-being. It was found that all variables were positively correlated.
