Results for mean differences of low and high self-compassion on indicators of wellbeing in a sample of male and female adolescents age 13–18 (n = 28)

	Mean (SD) [Median]		t statistic [z statistic]	Hedge’s g (95% CI)
	LSC (n = 12)	HSC (n = 16)	t statistic [z statistic]	Hedge’s g (95% CI)
Baseline anxiety	36.50 (8.25) [33.5]	31.75 (6.38) [30.5]	1.72 [1.65]	0.64 [−0.11, 1.38]
Perceived Stress	32.08 (5.66)	27.50 (7.76)	1.73	0.64 [0.11, 1.39]
Negative Affect	24.50 (7.72)	20.62 (6.67)	1.42	0.53 [0.21, 1.27]
Positive Affect	29.67 (6.02)	31.19 (8.19)	−0.54	−0.20 [−0.91, 0.53]
Life Satisfaction	2.33 (0.38)	2.72 (0.65)	−1.86	−1.18 [−0.93, 0.53]
Δ Anxiety TSST	20.50 (3.03)	15.12 (3.05)	1.22	0.45 [−0.29, 1.18]

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.
