	1.	2.	3.	4.	5.	6.	7.	8.	9.	M	SD
(1) Compassionate goals	0.87									3.89	0.57
(2) Compassionate love	0.61	0.95								3.33	0.72
(3) Communal orientation	0.52	0.60	0.78							3.62	0.50
(4) Communion	0.51	0.60	0.63	0.80						3.88	0.57
(5) Unmitigated communion	0.47	0.60	0.52	0.50	0.75					3.21	0.63
(6) Empathic concern	0.49	0.69	0.65	0.64	0.52	0.82				3.70	0.68
(7) Social support given	0.47	0.34	0.43	0.44	0.23	0.40	0.94			4.26	0.63
(8) Responsiveness	0.58	0.53	0.57	0.62	0.38	0.55	0.64	0.91		3.95	0.60
(9) Social desirability	0.23	0.20	0.13	0.20	0.21	0.22	0.01	0.20	0.71	0.48	0.15
(10) Gender	0.23	0.21	0.27	0.26	0.14	0.32	0.16	0.21	0.01

N = 318. Internal reliabilities are reported on the diagonal in italics. All correlations 0.20 or higher were statistically significant (p ≤ 0.001). The 0.13 correlation between social desirability and communal orientation was also significant (p = 0.024), but the correlation between social desirability and social support given was not significant (p = 0.838). The 0.14 correlation between gender and unmitigated communion was significant (p = 0.020) as was the 0.16 correlation between gender and social support given (p = 0.006); gender was unrelated to social desirability (r = 0.01, p = 0.927). Social desirability scores could range from 0 to 1, with higher scores indicating higher social desirability. Gender was coded such that 1 = male and 2 = female. For all other measures, items were rated on scales from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating higher levels of the construct.
