| Social concern | 0.56 (0.37–0.70) | 0.00 (0.00–0.00) | 0.44 (0.30–0.63) |
| Kindness Helping Empathic concern | 0.47 (0.22–0.75) | 0.35 (0.08–0.56) | 0.18 (0.12–0.27) |
| Helping | 0.44 (0.18–0.64) | 0.00 (0.00–0.00) | 0.56 (0.36–0.82) |
| Empathic concern | 0.76 (0.62–0.85) | 0.00 (0.00–0.00) | 0.24 (0.15–0.38) |
