Notes: *p<0.05; **p<0.01; P value obtained by simple linear regression. The higher the score on the resilience scales, the five facets of mindfulness and the compassion subscales of kindness, common humanity and mindfulness, the higher the score on the psychological construct. Higher values in the compassion subscales of self-judgment, isolation, and over-identification imply lower scores on the psychological construct of compassion.
