The data presented in this article are from 473 Korean college students׳ responses to an online survey consisting of measures of anxious and avoidant attachment (the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised Scale: ECR-R), self-compassion (Neff׳s Self-Compassion Scale: SCS), depression (the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale: CES-D) and anxiety (the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-the Trait Anxiety Scale: STAT-T). Each variable was measured by a Korean version of the instrument. Participants were recruited from three universities in South Korea: 288 were men and 185 were women; 199 were undergraduate and 273 were graduate students. The online program used to collect the data prompted for but did not require responses to items; 26 surveys were not completed, and data from these surveys were not included in the dataset. Major findings based on the data presented here are reported in the article “Insecure attachment and emotional distress: Fear of self-compassion and self-compassion as mediators” (Joeng et al., 2017) [1]. The data, an SPSS file, are included as supplementary material.

“…In studies of non‐clinical populations, self‐compassion reliably produces negative correlations with anxious attachment, but weaker or non‐significant correlations with avoidant attachment, supporting the theorized role of negative self‐views (Joeng et al, ; Neff & McGehee, ; Pepping, Davis, O'Donovan, & Pal, ; Raque‐Bogdan, Ericson, Jackson, Martin, & Bryan, ; Wei, Liao, Ku, & Shaffer, ). However, in the only clinical population study we identified, low self‐compassion was uniquely predicted by attachment‐related avoidance, supporting social mentalities model (Mackintosh, Power, Schwannauer, et al, ).…”

Background Cultivating self‐compassion is increasingly recognized as a powerful method to regulate hyperactive threat processes such as shame and self‐criticism, but fear of self‐compassion (FSC) can inhibit this. These difficulties are underexplored in personality disorder (PD) despite their prevalence. Furthermore, little evidence exists regarding how these factors relate to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and attachment. Method Fifty‐three participants with a diagnosis of PD completed measures including childhood abuse/neglect, invalidation, early warmth, self‐compassion, shame, self‐criticism, FSC, and anxious/avoidant attachment. Results Self‐compassion was predicted uniquely by low early warmth; self‐inadequacy by invalidation and abuse; and FSC by multiple ACEs. FSC and self‐compassion were significantly correlated with self‐criticism and shame, but not with one another. Conclusions Low self‐compassion and high FSC appear to be distinct problems, substantiating physiological models proposing distinct threat and soothing systems. Results are consistent with theories positing that low self‐compassion has distinct origins to shame, self‐criticism, and FSC.

Joeng et al (2017) found that fears of self-compassion and self-compassion serially mediated the relationships between anxious and avoidant attachment and depression and anxiety. FOC have been associated with psychopathological symptoms (e.g.…”
