Abstract
Self-compassion is an important predictor of well-being and resilience. However, no research has investigated this effect with international college students, who face additional stressors and mental health issues due to the demands of cultural adjustment. To address these limitations, I sampled 104 international college students from U.S. institutions in a cross-sectional survey. I hypothesized that there would be a strong positive association between self-compassion and psychological well-being in international college students and this association will be particularly strong for students with higher of cognitive reappraisal and lower levels of expressive suppression. Using multiple regression analyses, I found support for these hypotheses, and ground these results in past and future work in the discussion. Finally, this thesis also covers important implications about data collection and data cleaning for online data collection.
