Values are determination coefficients (R²) which can be interpreted as the percentage of common variance; SK, CH, and MI are self-kindness, common humanity and mindfulness, integrating the positive and negative items after removing method effects. Positive and Negative are positive and negative method components; Br, Brazil; Ch, Chile; Gr, Greece; Sp, Spain; United Kingdom, United Kingdom; US, United States; Ir, Iran; SA, Saudi Arabia; Eg, Egypt; Ko, Korea; Ja, Japan.
