Abstract

This research aimed to study the effects of self-compassion on the four immeasurables and happiness among volunteers in Bangkok Metropolitan Regions. The total 441 participants in public sector and private sector who took part in this research by volunteer sampling. The research instruments comprised self-compassion questionnaire, the four immesurables questionnaire, and happiness questionnaire. Casual structure was used as the statistical treatment. The research result revealed that the influence model of self-compassion affected the four immeasurables and happiness of volunteers. That is the model was congruent with the empirical data. All influence lines obtained the statistical significance at .05 level, and the model’s overall fits were accepted. Accordingly, the final model gained Chi-square (2) = 23.20, df = 15, p-value = .08; RMSEA = .04; SRMR= .02; GFI = .99; AGFI = .96; CN = 580.95. Hence, self-compassion had the highest effect on happiness of volunteers in Bangkok Metropolitan Regions with the .58 path coefficient. Secondly, the four immesurables obtained .42 path coefficient. Additionally, self-compassion in joint with the four immeasurables could predict the happiness variance at 78%.
