Background and Objective: The studies showed that cognitive distortions have negative effect on self compassion. The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between self-compassion and deterministic thinking. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 207 graduate students of Isfahan University. In this study, the self-compassion scale and the deterministic thinking questionnaires were used as the research device. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple linear regressions. Results: The results of  this study showed that there is a negative relationship between self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness subscales and all deterministic thinking subscales (total deterministic thinking, deterministic thinking in interactions, philosophic absolute thinking, deterministic thinking in future predicting and negative events and self-judgement, isolation, and over-identification factors of self-compassion have positive correlation to all deterministic thinking subscales. Also, the multiple linear regression results showed that deterministic thinking subscales up to %27 and total deterministic thinking up to %22 affect on explaining self-compassion. Conclusion: The results showed that the higher level of deterministic thinking cause the lower self-compassion and deterministic thinking cognitive distortion should be amended for increasing self-compassion. Key words: Deterministic thinking, Self-compassion, Students   Funding: This study was funded by Isfahan University. Conflict of interest: None declared. Ethical approval: The Ethics Committee of Isfahan University approved the study.   How to cite this article: Ghezelseflo M, Mirahmadi L, Jazayeri R.
