Dalam kehidupan perkuliahan di universitas, stres akademik senantiasa menjadi faktor penghalang bagi mahasiswa untuk mencapai subjective well being yang tinggi. Self compassion diperkenalkan sebagai salah satu variabel yang berpotensi dapat melindungi mahasiwa dari stres akademik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana efek self compassion dalam memoderasi hubungan antara stres akademik dan subjective well being. Partisipan penelitian ini adalah 251 mahasiswa dengan rentang usia berkisar antara 18-23 tahun (M=21,18, SD=1.33). Hasil analisis korelasi Pearson menunjukan bahwa stres akademik secara signfikan berkorelasi negatif dengan subjective well being. Hasil analisis moderasi menggunakan PROCESS Macro Hayes menunjukan bahwa self compassion tidak berkontribusi secara signifikan terhadap hubungan antara stres akademik dan subjective well being. Hasil penelitian, implikasi, limitasi, serta saran untuk penelitian kedepannya didiskusikan.
