Purpose: The present study aimed to predict depression among university students based on self‑compassion and integrative self‑knowledge, with physical activity as a mediating variable.
Methods: In terms of purpose, this study was applied, and in terms of methodology it employed a descriptive correlational design. The statistical population consisted of all students of the University of Sistan and Baluchestan. From this population, 243 students were selected using a convenience sampling method. The research instruments included the Beck Depression Inventory (1961), the Self‑Compassion Scale developed by Raes et al. (2011), the Integrative Self‑Knowledge Scale developed by Ghorbani et al. (2003), and the Health‑Promoting Lifestyle Profile developed by Walker et al. (1987). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM).
Results: The results indicated that depression among students could be predicted based on self‑compassion through the mediating role of physical activity (β=−0.241, P<0.001). Furthermore, depression was predicted based on integrative self‑knowledge through the mediating role of physical activity (β=−0.183, P<0.001).
Conclusion: Overall, the findings suggest that self‑compassion and integrative self‑knowledge play important roles in predicting lower levels of depression among students, both directly and indirectly through increased engagement in physical activity. Therefore, strengthening these factors may serve as an effective strategy for improving students’ mental health.
