Introduction:The concept of social health is a concept that has been considered along with the physical and mental dimensions of health. Promoting social health includes areas of social action to develop the level of health. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between resilience and social support with social health with the moderating role of self-compassion in students of Payame Noor University, South Tehran Branch.Method: The design of the present study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the study was all students of Payame Noor University, South Tehran Branch in the academic year 2016-2017. And responded online to the Keys and Shapiro (2004) Social Health Questionnaire, the Neff Self-Compassion Scale (2003), the Connor & Davidson (2003) Resilience Questionnaire, and the Zimet et al.'s Social Support Questionnaire (1988). Results: multiple regression analysis showed that the resilience component predicts 34% and social support 27% of the variance of social health. Also, resilience and social support indirectly and with their modulating role, compassion predicts 24% and 4% of the variance of social health, respectively. Self-compassion also has a 39% positive effect on explaining social health.Conclusion: Social health can be enhanced through factors such as resilience and social support, and in the meantime, the more self-compassion people have, the more desirable it can be.
