Note. HSC–High self-compassion group; LSC–Low self-compassion group; TSST-Trier Social Stress Test; Due to a non-normal distribution, the t statistic and Hedge’s g for baseline anxiety are calculated with the square-root transformed variable. In addition, the medians and z statistics are reported for this variable.
