Unconditional self-acceptance is a foundational aspect of psychological well-being, referring to the ability to embrace oneself without judgment, regardless of flaws or mistakes. It involves recognizing one's worth and treating oneself with kindness and compassion, regardless of external achievements or internal challenges.

The Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire was developed to assess the extent to which individuals practice self-acceptance. This scale includes a series of statements that explore different aspects of self-acceptance—including self-compassion, resilience and the ability to remain positive even when facing difficulties.
