The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between psychological capital, compassion, and rumination levels among special education teachers and the effect of these variables on psychological capital. Based on this objective, 189 special education teachers working in the field of special education in the province of Konya were included in the study. The research design was developed as a correlational survey model. The Personal Information Form, Positive Psychological Capital Scale, Rumination Responses Scale, and Compassion Scale were used in order to collect data for the study. The scales were administered to the participants via Google Forms, and data analysis was performed using the SPSS 27 software package. Pearson correlation analysis was utilized in order to determine the relationships between variables; linear regression analysis was used to determine the effect of compassion and rumination on psychological capital. The findings indicate that compassion levels have a positive significant relationship with positive psychological capital, while rumination has a negative significant relationship. Regression analysis revealed that positive psychological capital is significantly predicted by the variables of compassion and rumination. In the epilogue of the study, the findings obtained from the research are discussed in the light of the literature and recommendations are presented.
