The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between self-compassion and contribution in post-traumatic growth. The study group consisted of 718 students studying at a university in the Central Black Sea Region in Türkiye, recruited with convenient sampling method. 61.8% (444) of the students were female and 38.2% (274) were male. The age range of the participants varied between 18 and 47, but the majority consisted of individuals between the ages of 20-29 (90.7%). Three-dimensional Contribution Scale, Self-Compassion Scale, Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory and personal information form were used as data collection tools. According to the results, a positive and significant relationship was found between self-compassion and contribution, and between contribution and PTG. It was also found that contribution predicted Post Traumatic Growth. Suggestions were made to the researchers based on these results.
