Figure 1
Latent growth model for the bright path: self-compassion, engagement, and GPA. Non-significant paths are denoted by dashed lines.
Note. *p < .05. **p < .01. ***p < .001; nationality and gender were included as covariates in the ‘bright path’. All values are unstandardized.
Figure 2
Latent growth model for the dark path: self-criticism, exhaustion, and GPA. Non-significant paths are denoted by dashed lines.
Note. *p < .05. **p < .01. ***p < .001; nationality and gender were included as covariates in the ‘dark path’. All values are unstandardized.
