Abstract: We examined self-compassion in association with reported stress exposure amongst Appalachian families. Stress exposure was assessed using parent reports of life events and danger ratings from attachment interviews using Crittenden’s Danger Scale (2020). Self-compassion was measured using self-reports. Teen self-compassion was associated with teen danger ratings.
