It is, therefore, critical to identify the types of athletes who may be more or less likely to follow the guidance of medical professionals following concussions. In this research, we tested the hypothesis that athletes with higher levels of self-compassion would be more willing to follow concussion recovery protocols.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Design<\/jats:bold>\n                      :\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    Cross-sectional study.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>\n                      :\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    We collected data from 2 samples of combat sport athletes (sample 1, N\u2009=\u2009173 and sample 2, N\u2009=\u2009172). All participants completed online surveys assessing self-compassion, the likelihood that they would follow 10 recovery recommendations if they were to experience a concussion in their sport, and scales assessing 3 covariates: self-esteem, conscientiousness, and sport competitiveness.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\n                      :\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    After controlling for self-esteem, conscientiousness, and sport competitiveness, the results of multiple regression analyses in both samples showed that self-compassion was positively associated with willingness to follow concussion recovery recommendations (sample 1:\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.19, 1-tailed\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.039; sample 2:\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.20, 1-tailed\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.025).
