Self-compassion (SC) represents a potentially important resource, yet little is known about its correlates. This study investigated sociodemographic, health-related, and interpersonal predictors of compassionate self-responding (CS) and uncompassionate self-responding (UCS) among adolescents with PHCs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In total, 498 adolescents (ages 12\u201321) with type 1 diabetes, cystic fibrosis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis completed measures of SC, depression, anxiety, disease severity and duration, parental support, peer group integration, and seeking social support. Hierarchical multiple regressions were conducted separately for CS and UCS.
