Note: For direct effects *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001. *Indirect effect significant based on 95% confidence interval of bootstrapped estimates. SCS→CR represents the effect of the self‐compassion subscale on social anxiety via cognitive reappraisal; SCS→ES represents the effect of the self‐compassion subscale on social anxiety via expressive suppression.

Abbreviations: CR, cognitive reappraisal; ES, expressive suppression.
