Column headings: Column A: Respond ID: this is the ID for each participants Column B: Gender: 1 for female, 2 for male Column C: SCS_Total: this column includes the total score for self-compassion scale. As a rough guide, average scores for the Self-Compassion Scale are around 3.0 on the 1-5 Likert scale, a score of 1-2.5 indicates low self-compassion, 2.5-3.5 indicates moderate, and 3.5-5.0 is an indication of high self-compassion (Neff, 2003a). Column D: Avoidant_Coping: total score for avoidant coping subscale: with higher scores indicating increased use of the corresponding coping strategy Column E: Approach_Coping: total score for approach coping subscale: with higher scores indicating increased use of the corresponding coping strategy Column F-K: these columns include the score subscales of the self-compassion questionnaires. A score of between 1 and 2.5 reflects low self-compassion, 2.5–3.5 suggests moderate self-compassion and 3.5–5.0 represents high levels of self-compassion Column F: Self-kindness: it is computed by calculating the mean of subscale item responses (please see details below). Column G: Common_Humanity: it is computed by calculating the mean of subscale item responses (please see details below). Column H: Mindfulness: it is computed by calculating the mean of subscale item responses (please see details below). Column I: Self-Judgement: it is computed by calculating the mean of subscale item responses (please see details below). Column J: Isolation: it is computed by calculating the mean of subscale item responses (please see details below). Column K: Over-identification: it is computed by calculating the mean of subscale item responses (please see details below).

BRIEF COPE 28 items (score range: 1-4) https://local.psy.miami.edu/faculty/ccarver/sclBrCOPE.phtml https://novopsych.com.au/assessments/brief-cope/ Carver, C. S. (1997). You want to measure coping but your protocol's too long: Consider the Brief COPE. International Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 4(1), 92-100. Sub-scales are computed as follows (with no reversals of coding). (Y)=Approach coping, (R)=Avoidant coping style: - Self-distraction, items 1 and 19 (R) - Active coping, items 2 and 7 (Y) - Denial, items 3 and 8 (R) - Substance use, items 4 and 11 (R) - Use of emotional support, items 5 and 15 (Y) - Use of instrumental support, items 10 and 23 (Y) - Behavioral disengagement, items 6 and 16 (R) - Venting, items 9 and 21 (R) - Positive reframing, items 12 and 17 (Y) - Planning, items 14 and 25 (Y) - Humor, items 18 and 28 - Acceptance, items 20 and 24 (Y) - Religion, items 22 and 27 - Self-blame, items 13 and 26 (R) 2. THE SELF-COMPASSION SCALE (SHORT-FORM) 12 items (1-5, 1= almost never, 5=almost always) Coding Key: - Self-Kindness Items: 2, 6 - Self-Judgment Items: 11, 12 - Common Humanity Items: 5, 10 - Isolation Items: 4, 8 - Mindfulness Items: 3, 7 - Over-identified Items: 1, 9 Subscale scores are computed by calculating the mean of subscale item responses. To compute a total self-compassion score, reverse score the negative subscale items - self-judgment, isolation, and over-identification (i.e., 1 = 5, 2 = 4, 3 = 3, 4 = 2, 5 = 1) - then compute a total mean. As a rough guide, average scores for the Self-Compassion Scale are around 3.0 on the 1-5 Likert scale, a score of 1-2.5 indicates low self-compassion, 2.5-3.5 indicates moderate, and 3.5-5.0 is an indication of high self-compassion (Neff, 2003a).
